I’m a FTM with a 2 week old and I was so scared of the dreaded newborn phase everyone seems to hate so much but personally now that I have her, I kind of love it. Yes it’s very hard at times, especially with breastfeeding. My LO is up all night (except maybe a few times that I’ve gotten lucky) I’ve been sleep deprived, i was in so much pain the first week due to poor latching and having sensitive nipples that hurt so bad during the beginning of breastfeeding. Trying to get her to sleep for hours. But I’d do it all again, even when I’m exhausted and wake up a little frustrated, the minute I see her precious little face it all melts away. I just sit and comfort her and kiss her little face and just feel so grateful to be her mama. Part of me gets sad when I remember she won’t be a baby forever. Though I’m excited to watch her grow and experience life, I’m gonna miss her being a little baby.
