My newborn is trying to break me
Baby is 2 weeks and 5 days. I’ve been having an emotional time but the past few days I’ve been getting outside more and being more positive. Last night I had a really good feed, she slept well after and then when my husband failed to get her to sleep the second time I was able to for another 3 hours.
Today she peed two different times when I was changing her diaper. I had the new ones on but was letting her dry. She had milk come out of her nose and when I cleaned it up she got so mad she forcefully pooped and a rash appeared on her face. She sneezed more milk all over me. I’ve been burping her for 15 minutes and she won’t burp. I put her in her sleeper and she spit up. She has a blocked tear duct which im trying to work out and it’s only making her eye more red.
I’m trying so hard. I’m finally in a better mindset and now it feels like everything I’m doing is wrong. I had a good night and then today has been so rough. I told my husband I’m taking a shower but it’s only so I can cry without him knowing. I know I’m just tired and hormonal and this is what babies do but it just feels like today I am getting beat down.
