2 week old

I’m getting exhausted with my newborn who’s about 2 weeks old now. She doesn’t want to sleep on bed or put down, whenever she’s asleep and I put her down, she wakes up within 5 mins, she always wants to be held. It’s exhausting, I really Dk what to do. It’s taking a toll on me mentally.

gurl, same 🥲. Apparently it's "normal" and because it has been 2 weeks, newborns are going through "growing spurts" phase. i just cant. whenever my newborn is crying, i pass to my mum or my fiance to put my newborm to sleep. now, shes at her other grandmother's place to take care while im at hosp getting warded coz i got too sick and developed itchy rashes on my body. i legit start my day at 2AM because she cries for milk. i take a nap then wake up at 4AM, nap again then my newborn starts her day at 7AM. i dont sleep at all the whole morning and afternoon. by 7pm onwards, my energy depleted and THATS when she cries again to be soothed. so, maybe what im trying to say is, . you cant do this alone, you'll burn out & because postnatal depression is real 😔
