Even little angels can be demons at time. It can be really hard being a new mum but I’ve found the worst three times are the 6th day, 6th week and 6th month.
Around 6th day – massive hormonal crash and the reality of waking up 3 times a night sets in
Around 6th week – I’ve just come out of this and think it is hardcore. Mums have to battle the cumulative effects of ongoing sleep deprivation coupled with the disappearance of the happy hormones we receive in the beginning. It’s a bloody slog and also the time when people around you assume you are over the worst of it. Baby doesn’t always settle well during the day and all of the books claim “soon your child will sleep through” – I want to wring the neck of most authors right now.
Around 6th month – OMG I am so tired but it’s all about to get a lot easier, or that’s what I keep telling myself
