My baby is 2 weeks old and don't feel I can cope anymore with this constant crying and lack of sleep. My boyfriend has been great but he is back to work next week so won't be able to help out with night time feeds or during the day.
The baby just won't settle if we try to put her down anywhere and cries all the time unless one of us picks her up and cuddles her (or I feed her) but then I can't do ANYTHING around the house or even get myself a drink or breakfast never mind doing any tidying or housework I need to. I am usually on top of everything and hate not being able to do anything.
I'm just feeling very down, missing the spontaneity of my 'old' life and can't cope with being a mum. I feel like I want to get her adopted and then feel guilty because it's not her fault but this constant crying and lack of sleep is just a nightmare. :(((
Please tell me things get better??
