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.”

Sleepy Delta · been through new parenthood“I think If you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy. The first few months were the worst of my life. But I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad. I stopped trying to be the perfect parent. Good enough is enough. Go slowly.”
