Help for new parenthood in Uganda
From people who came through it
“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.”
Midnight Ridge · 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“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.”
Pauline from Leicester · 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.”
