Hi,
I have a 3 week old baby who in my mind is a typical newborn. He wakes a lot in the night and feeds for hours, I tend to stay up till 4/5am then my husband takes over.
Over the last couple of nights my husband has been getting more and more stressed with the baby. He says that he doesn't know how to cope if the baby is fed, clean and burped but still crying. He says he isn't bonding with baby and wishes we hadn't had him. He's started saying that the baby has ruined our lives. He misses being able to go to the supermarket when we want, being able to just decide what he wants to do, he misses free time.
Everyone keeps telling us it gets easier but we're really struggling. I got 3 hours sleep last night and it will be worse when my husband goes back to work.
How am I best to tackle all this? I keep telling my husband that it will get easier but this is partly for my benefit as well as his. It feels like we're living hour to hour sometimes. We have family nearby but with baby being so small he can't really be without me just now.
