Baby help! Going a bit crazy!

mussmom

You have your husband for the rest of your life. You have your babies for 18 years. Then they move out to the real world. Right now she is two months, turn back around and she is going to kindergarten, blink and she will be going to middle school, in another minute she goes from a little girl to a young lady, then she has her first crush, then she is graduating. You only have this time to hold and cuddle her now. Would you rather spend that time, say, watching some dumb tv show? (I am not saying you are, just trying to give an example).
That said, there are all kinds of advice on this post. Do what feels right for the two of you. You will never regret the bond you build during this time.

I'm late replying to this thread, but still wanted to anyway.
Congratulations on your new little daughter! I'm sure she's beautiful and precious, but it might be hard to remember or feel that way when you're sleep deprived.

I used two books that I read for information and guidance. I got a lot out of both of them. My advice: read up, educate yourself, and you'll figure out quickly what you & your husband feel comfortable with. Good luck, and try to enjoy this special time!
