Hey all - I need some help. Currently have a newborn at home with their days and nights mixed up and there’s no putting the kid down or consoling them after 8pm to about 10 am. I’ve read all the posts and I know it gets better in time, I realize I’m still in the first week, so I’m in the thick of it.

With that being said, looking forward to the future doesn’t help a whole lot right now. When he starts screaming and crying for seemingly no reason, I feel so guilty because I get so frustrated.

What did you tell yourself in the middle of the crying/life hack you discovered for those moments that got you through the 4th trimester? Anything helps.
