From people who came through it
“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.”

Sleepy Delta · 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“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.”
