โIf 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.โ
โFor whoever is where I was: I've been there. For me it was in 2023. Mine was no family nearby. Now I sleep most nights. It's slow, but it does come back. Sending love.โ
โFor whoever is where I was: I was right where you are about three years ago. No family nearby, every single day. I went on holiday in the summer and actually relaxed. It's slow, but it does come back. xโ
โI 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.โ
