[carliex]

my baby is 4weeks old i have been feeling low latley, im breast feeding and she wants feeding every hour and half to 2hours through the nite i feel like by the time i fed her changed her nappy got her back to sleep as she hates hers moses basket, its time to do it all over again and i havent even had chance to get back to sleep, my partner works 8-6 so i he doesnt get up in the nite and i dont expect him to! but i feel like i cant talk to anyone as my family are constntly telling me how proud they are of me for coping so well, but im not all i want to do is cry i try keep myself busy so i dont think about it which means i dont get chance to sleep in the day either while she is sleeping, becus if i stop and try and sleep all i do is think about it and cry im also not eating:( I get offered alot of help from my family and partner but i cant take it as i really want to do it myself so i no its done proply and i also like doing it becus dont get me wrong i love my baby. any advice?

Hi,

I think you should have a word with your doctor or heath visitor mabey she could help you find some formula milk (its what she did for my mum) that will help you and as for what people think when they see you pushing a pram forget about it I have a 2 year old brother and when I take him out some of the looks I get say everything i just stare back it does the trick :-). Keep positive it will get better.

I think you might havea touch the baby blues try speaking to your doctor or heath visitor they are there to help( words of my mum). If you are worried about what people think when they see you pushing a pram don't worry about it I am 14 and some of the looks I get when I take out my 2 yr old brother I just stare back it does the trick :-). Stay positive it will get better.
