Who helped you to take care your newborn

I am alone with my newborn at home. I didn't get any help from my MIL. My mother lives in another country and she can not come and help me. My husband is busy earning for the family and he has night shifts too.. Not enough money to spend to hire a helper. I am stressed with all the new changes and have no sleep. How can I deal with this? any mum here who took care newborn alone?

hi mummy! im a foreigner and i take care of my baby alone cos my husband is working. it can be overwhelming especially during the first months but it gets better eventually. take it one day at a time. if there are things that you cannot do for the day (like cleaning, cooking, etc), let it be. it also helps to have a baby carrier to carry your newborn with you of you want to do things. for me since my baby agreed to be in the carrier when he was 4 months old, that's only the time when i was able to get a few tasks done. i was and still sleep deprived until now (baby is 8 mos). so when my baby sleeps, i try to rest too. he is contact sleeping so cant do much when he sleeps. it also helps to call your mum too! she cant be there with you physically but just talking to her can make a big difference! take care mummy ok?
