How are all my fellow May mommas doing?

Question

I just wanted to check in on everyone (if anyone decides to reply) & see how life is going with the new babies!
Here are a few of my personal updates:
My son Parker turns 6 weeks old today, and I finally feel like I’m starting to get the hang of things, lol. As a first time mom I really struggled in the beginning, obviously a learning experience.
We’re also going strong on breastfeeding which I am SO excited about, I almost gave up after the first two weeks because i was in so much pain.
I’ve had a little bit of postpartum anxiety that I’ve recently started getting help with.
Parker has also started gaining a TON of weight, his rolls are the cutest.

Answer

I am 10 days PP and am having a hard time dealing with the sleep deprivation. I have anxiety and I think a bit of depression. I have lots of support around me but I feel like I didn't realize how hard it was! We are breastfeeding and he's just always on my boob... And he only really sleeps for like an hour or two, so I really don't get sleep at all! I don't know what to do I wish he would sleep for some good 4 hr stretches

My little girl just turned 6 weeks Monday! She’s been nothing but fun. Recently she just wants to be around me all the time, but I’m trying to get her used to other people for when I go back to work. She smiles a lot, and eats 4 oz at a time! She didn’t take to breastfeeding, but it’s completely fine. She chunky and just great. If all babies were like her, I’d have 5 more 😂 just sticking to this one though.

Answer

6 weeks today as well!  Baby girl is smiling a lot and eating a lot! All I do is feed, burp and entertain! 
The first few weeks were rough. She had a lot of tummy issues (c-section birth and formula feeding) so lots of crying - her AND I! She also would not sleep unless being held and would wake up as soon as i tried putting her down. I felt like a huge failure. I didn't eat, didn't sleep, cried a lot. Things are starting to fall into place though and I'm figuring her out! She's crazy particular and if something isn't quite right, get ready for war! 
I'm also getting out a little more often now and I'm more comfortable with it. That helps a lot!
I hope things are getting easier and more fun for all of you!

Answer

Mia will be 6 weeks on Sunday! 
She’s been sleeping 7-8 hour stretches at night now. She’ll wake up between 4 and 5 and she’s up for 1.5-2 hours to eat. Then we sleep until 9 AM when my oldest wakes up. 
Breastfeeding has been pretty easy thankfully. She’s my second so I know the ropes. She’s way more gassy and fussy than my first daughter. The witching hour at night has been pretty brutal. She’ll cry on and off for 2 hours before bedtime. We’re hoping that’ll stop soon.

Answer

My son has turned a month old yesterday and life is getting easier, although he has started this habit where he fights his sleep in the last few days but at 4 weeks he sleeps almost 4 hrs at a time. Night time is still hard but I’m confident that we’ll get it together soon. Not doing much cleaning or cooking as this is my first child and can’t find the time. I’m struggling with finding him a formula he isn’t allergic to, just yesterday his dr switched him for the 3rd time this month and I can already tell it’s worse than the last one. It’s really stressing me out.

Answer

My little girl is just over 3 weeks old and she is doing great and recovery for me has been easy! Struggles have been adjusting to new life with three kids. I have twin girls that are not yet 2 (yes I might be crazy)! We are lucky and have had family willing to fly out and help us so my husband could go back to work and I can have help.

Answer

Everest turned 6 weeks yesterday! He's already had his first trip to the beach and his first trip to Disney World. He loves his big brother, Hunter, and always looks for him when he hears him talking. I left him with my mom for the first time yesterday so I could get a little one on one time with Hunter and he smiled so big when I picked him up. He loves tummy time and has rolled from stomach to back once already!
