Hi mommas,

I don't really know what to say but I'm in need of some encouragement. I'm a first time mom, to a beautiful baby girl who is 18 weeks today.

I've been really struggling lately with this 4 month leap/ her sudden onset of fussiness.

I am just struggling-- I feel like I have no clue what I'm doing. I have a hard time trying to figure out what she needs when she cries. I go down the list of normal things: hunger, sleepy, hot, gassy, etc. Is anyone else struggling to try to figure out what baby needs? This isn't coming naturally to me, and I am a huge over thinker (even outside of motherhood) so I'm constantly over analyzing everything when it comes to my girl and I don't know how to stop doing that.

Thanks for taking the time to read this 💜
