Could I Have PPD Or PPA ?

Question

My Baby Is Currently 3 Weeks As Of Today ( 3/12/18 ) But Whenever She Cries In The Middle Of The Night And Won’t Stop No Matter What I Do ( Feed Her , Change Her , Burp Her , Rock Her , Hold Her etc. ) She Just Doesn’t Stop Crying And It’s Gotten To The Point I Just Break Out In Tears Because It Frustrates Me And I Get Overwhelmed Because I Only Get A Few Hours Of Sleep A Night And She Barely Sleeps Long In The Day Sometimes ( Maybe 30-40 Minutes ) So I Can’t Sleep When She Sleeps ! Around 2 Or 3 a.m Maybe She Cried On And Off Until Now ( 4:43 a.m ) And I Just Cried And Cried ( Currently Just Stopped Crying ) ! Could I Have PPD Or PPA ? Or Is It Just Something Every FTM Experiences ?

Answer

my first son was an easy baby hardly ever cried but my second was a big cry baby cried all day and night for at least the first 3 months of his life and i as well like you would break down even though my husband would help as much as he could he worked and i didnt want him to go tired so i would just go in our living room with the baby and break down in tears because it was so overwhelming . i dont think it is ppd or ppa just a phase you and baby are going through . I know its hard now but im sure it will get better soon , you can also talk to your baby pediatrician and see if there may be a reason on why baby cant sleep and crys all the time , i did with mine and they recommended i use a little gri water because he could have had collicpe

Answer

It could be PPD, but it could also be that new born babies are really really hard. Around six weeks, everything gets a lot better. I know it seems like a long time, but it’ll be here before you know it. Is there anyone who can help you? When my first was tiny, I’d pump a bottle around 7pm, and go to bed. My husband would stay up and do the 10:00 feeding, and baby would usually sleep til 1 or 2, so I could get a few solid hours of sleep.
