4th trimester

[Rba2022]

Any tips on coping as a new parent. I am so sleep deprived, my son will not settle at night. Also he has colic. Any tips to deal with this? Here's me thinking giving birth was hard.

I’m so sorry it’s so hard at the beginning. Do you know when his colic starts and stops? As usually it’s the same time every day and stops late in the evening.
if you can work around that so
he knows he has you for those hours i
found sitting with baby up right was best for them if not then in a carrier and walking around the house / garden with them until it passed. It won’t last forever I promise

He starts crying around 7pm. Then after that he's just unsettled throughout the night. I manage to get him to sleep, but by then its time for his next feed. He likes to feed every 2 hours. So it's been a big struggle. I don't want him used to sleeping in my arms either. He doesn't settle well in the moses basket or cot.
