It's so normal, don't worry - it's a lot to adapt to when you're exhausted and still recovering from giving birth, but the first 6 weeks are usually the hardest - it will get easier, and I'm sure you're doing a great job

Do you have family/friends around who could help out a bit during the day, even if it's just making you cups of tea or watching him for an hour so you can get a bit of sleep? Being able to sleep when I could when people were here was probably one of the things I appreciated the most! x

Thats normal it gets better towards the third month.Then all the cute cooing noises start and they dont scream as much.They feel more secure then.Dont worry,soon you will have a liitle angel that melts your heart.Swaddle him,play lullaby and tell him you love him.This will pass.
