Feeling really alone and needing to vent

Please please know that I say this with kindness and I’m very aware that what people and and can’t do varies a lot. But I wanted to say something because it’s fine to not do it all by yourself.

But honestly, I think you need more support. Here it’s not much how it should be, it’s how things are - you need help, period. No judgment. First I’d check with the baby’s doctor is there is anything medical wrong with your baby. If this is ruled out, check techniques for sleep and feed - I believe that you need to find what works for your baby. But waking up every two hours is not normal or sustainable. If people try to give you shit for not managing it on your own, honestly, F them and their opinion. You need to improve your quality of life so you can be a good parent for your child.
