A little rant here. I’ve heard people saying “for the first few weeks/months babies are just eating and sleeping”, well I wish they were. My LO eats, but then it’s a struggle to get her to sleep. I know there are routines but it’s not easy. It seems she struggles to digest the milk (time to switch formula?), so even if she closes her eyes for the first 30 mins she’s making noises and moving and sometimes she wakes herself up or it bothers her a lot.

Now sometimes that she wakes up, she needs a diaper change, and then sometimes she just decides she wants to eat again. Today she did this for two hours in one occasion that really overwhelmed me.

I love her and I don’t mind holding her for some time until her stomach is happy and she’s deep asleep. But I just thought how simplistic that sentence is, infants are not just eating and sleeping.
