From people who came through it
“I remember being right in the middle of it, thinking there was no end. The broken sleep, feeling like a stranger to yourself. I've been there. What helped me was tiny things: a short walk with the pram, a hot drink while the baby slept (even if I didn't). And I asked for help, which wasn't easy. You're not on your own with this. Things do improve, just slowly. Try to be kind to yourself.”
sabinejuly30 · been through new parenthood“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.”
Tobias from Hanover · been through new parenthood“Hi, you. In 2022 I was exactly where you are. Back then it was a 6 week old who will not sleep. Last month I had people round for dinner. The bad days get further apart.”
wren_tired08 · been through new parenthood“For 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.”
