Life with baby not as expected...

I love my baby boy with all my heart, he is now almost 7 weeks old but oh my gosh is he a difficult baby.

He is breastfed, I keep going because I am stubborn and everyone says breast is best so I’d feel like a failure if I stopped. But he feeds every 2 hours and it’s killing me, I wonder if formula will fill him up for longer.

He screams and cries. All day. I work through the checklist; feeding, nappy, burp, settle, etc...sometimes it goes on for hours in the evenings when I’m at my tiredest and fed up. I try so hard not to get frustrated with him, he’s just a baby, but it’s so hard not to.

My husband was amazing at the beginning but now not so hands on. He comes home from work and I think ‘thank god, please take the baby off me’ but he wants to wind down and I have to cook dinner, he moans about HIS day like I’ve had it easy.

I miss my old life, working, getting my nails done, spending time on my appearance, my old figure I worked so hard on before getting pregnant...no one really depending on me!

Please tell me it gets easier?! I thought a baby was what I wanted but it is so so hard.
