Newborn UP 10 HOURS 😭

My newborn has been up for 10 hours 😩 I’ve fed her on schedule and even let her breastfeed when ever at this point. No fever, diaper changed, fed, gripe water, rocked, Sang to. Dark room, sound machine on, sound machine off. I have postpartum depression and anxiety severe and I even put her down a couple times and just let her cry and she screams. It’s been 10 hours. I just want her to sleep 😭😭😭 at this point I just want to lay her down and put my noise canceling on and sleep for an hour. I have no idea why she hate a me and why she won’t sleep! 😭😭

If she is a newborn this is typical. You sound stressed and could really use some support. Please call a family member or friend to relieve you for a little while. You need sleep to be able to function.She doesn't hate you. She is a baby and babies can't make us understand what they want. Just continue cycle of changing nappy, feeding, rocking, and put her down when she is sleepy. Try to swaddle her to make her feel warm and cuddled.

Do you have someone that could watch her for a little while? Babies pick up when your stressed. You could be feeding off each others emotions.

My baby went through the same thing ! But you’re not alone mama! Call a family member or someone you trust with your baby and take a hot shower, take a nap, and take some time to take care of yourself. The more stressed you are the more your baby’s going to pick up on your energy and stress as well. This isn’t forever. Soon enough she’ll pick up a bit of a routine. You just gotta be patient and remember to take care of yourself. Your baby needs you and you can’t be a fully functioning mama if you’re not meeting your needs as well! Best of luck mama <3

She DOES NOT hate you ! PleaseDo not think that. How old is she? Does she cry or fuss when you’re holding her ? And where are you putting her to sleep?

2 months but 3 weeks adjusted cause she’s a preemie. The only thing that calms her is breastfeeding. But she will feed as long as I let her over an hour + and I can’t really sleep if she’s doing that too
