Coping with a newborn

Hi All, i’m a first time mom with an infant. I feel that since my baby’s born - my husband and I have been drifting a little and I have been very emotional too (baby blues?). Not sure if it’s just the interim as we both try to adapt with a new change... How do you cope? I read that the first year is the hardest... :(

I'm a first time mom and tbh the first 3 months is the craziest. I don't deny that there's drift in me and my partner's rs but I guess it's really up to the both of you to see how the both of you can spice things up a little? Maybe get him to be more involved in taking care of your LO too. It's normal to feel emotional, I get that all the time during the first 3 months or so... but don't let it get to you too much or else you might just get pp depression. I don't really rmb how I managed to cope with all these madness but you'll manage it somehow or rather (at least that's for me). Don't think so much and relax a little, talk to your husband more.

Thanks dear. Yes I get so emotional and can cry over small things. Oh gosh! Agree, am getting him to be involved in LO’s diaper changing, feeding etc. But maybe he’s also feeling the challenge of being closer to LO? Unlike us mums who have already that bond with our LO since they’re in our womb.
