You are being way too hard on yourself. There are no mothers on the face of this earth that don't need help - especially in the early stages. It sounds like you might need to switch to formula at night - which you can thicken to meet his needs. That way - you can fill him up and he'll be able to sleep better. You need a break - you need some you time. I remember how hard this stage was & I'm praying for you - really.

Sounds a little like PPD, and asking for help is NOT being a bad mommy! If you think that you aren't producing enough, maybe it's time to switch to a formula with a little rice in it just for bedtime? *hugs* Everything will be OK.

sounds like you're having things really rough, I dont have any 'advice' as such to give, but I really hope things start to look up! I guess you can be thankful for the fact that you know that things arent going right, and you know that you need to include the baby's dad in stuff! Thats positive!

Random: The doctors tell you to put him on his back because of less chance of suffication and SIDS. My son slept in bed with me but his daddy worked third shift so it was easier. Maybe just keep trying to put him in his bed and get him used to it. When he gets used to sleeping with you and feeling secure with you, its hard to get him to sleep alone. I bet you're doing great as a mother, don't let what anyone else around you has to say affect how you feel. Babies cry, there is no set way to do anything when you have children, you're going to make mistakes because you're human. Hugs!! Trust me its not easy but it gets easier, trust yourself and your instinct. You're doing great!

New baby coming soon??

Welcome to bloop.
When I had my son I was naive and didn't think about any of the things you've been thinking about, so it did come as quite a shock! Sounds like you've got your bases covered and you know exactly what to expect. It is different when its your own, you will find a wealth of patience and love that you never knew you had! Good luck and congratulations
