First time mum

My baby is currently 10 weeks old. Things has been really challenging since my husband has a very demanding job and I do not have any additional support of either side of family member. Each time my baby fuss and refused to settle (especially when he cannot sleep) I find myself crying more and more often. With the recent covid situation, I dare not step out of the house which causes my mood to get worse. I guess my question is, when will things gets better or easier? 😪

Super Mum

Hugs, sounds like you're having a really tough time. Your mental health is really important especially when you just gave birth as you'd be more prone to depression. Show yourself some love, give yourself little treats when you feel overwhelmed (I just order bubble tea for myself haha).If baby won't stop crying and you feel frustrated, the best thing to do is put baby down in a safe space and walk away for a while to compose yourself. Baby will be fine, crying won't do any harm. Taking walks around the block or at the park is totally fine since it's outdoors. Take care mummy!
