Second time round so I should remember those early days but think my brain blocked them out for a reason šŸ˜‚
I keep reading 6 weeks is a bit easier, I’m clinging on to that as a pretty tired Mama 🤪

Oh god, I barely remember! I just remember being horrified after a week being told that the first 6 weeks are the hardest. What, 5 more weeks???!! I do remember with my second that co-sleeping and feeding him in bed with me, lying on my side, was an absolute game changer, sleep-wise. Is that an option?

Remember it well! Cut yourself some slack - keep meals simple, accept help from others, don't worry if chores are not done. Look after yourself - you will look back and smile šŸ˜‰
