“I was where you are this time last year. The worst part was a 6 week old who will not sleep. This week I went back to my evening class. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. Praying for you.”
“If you are just starting out with a new baby and the colic, I want to tell you it does pass. The crying every evening feels like it will never end but it does. Ask for help even if you have no family close by. I found one neighbour who took the baby for an hour so I could sleep. That hour saved me. Other mums are out there going through the same thing even when it feels like nobody is.”
“To anyone just starting out: it's bloody hard. The crying, the weighing, the feeling like you've vanished. I won't say it's easy, but it does change. You'll find bits of yourself again, just slower than you'd like. Accept help when it's offered, even if it's just someone holding the baby while you shower. And if you're struggling, tell someone. I wish I had sooner.”
“Esto es para vos, que estás empezando. No te voy a mentir, es difícil. Pero también hay momentos buenos. No tenés que ser perfecto. Yo todavía estoy aprendiendo. Hablá con alguien, aunque sea por acá. No estás solo en esto, aunque a veces lo parezca. Un día a la vez, che.”
