babies - when does it get easier? :(

[ThreeWheelsGood]

Baby is 9 weeks old. I'm ebf on demand. I'm tired all the time. After a 5 day labour in October I haven't had a decent stretch of sleep, I'm obsessed with counting the hours. my mum had helped out a lot but can't always be here, DP works long hours but is amazing when he's home. All I do all day is think about feeding, feed, change nappies, occasionally clear up sick.we had a hard time getting started with breastfeeding so I think it's given me a complex. baby is cute and babbles but I don't feel very bonded, I'm not sure how I'm meant to feel, it's just all hard work at the moment. when does it get more fun? I don't think I'm depressed but I'm glum right now (been alone all day).

Look for groups where you have something in common - I went to a new BF group and everyone was lovely.

Also babymmoon stay in bed take Toys books etc at least you are resting

Some of your post was horribly familiar! Get out as much as you can, fresh air really helps blow the cobwebs away. Accept help and try to enjoy this stage - soon you will be running around tearing your hair out as your baby apparently wants to play with every dangerous item in the house. I know it's a really hard time but your baby will be more responsive soon and you are going to have so much fun together. I find every stage is harder and also easier than the last! Good luck.
