    Hey mama I just wanna say I am so proud of you! I am just a stranger online but I am a first time young single mom myself. I have a one month old baby boy named Elijah. And taking care of a newborn alone is a blessing but also so exhausting and a lot. I totally feel you. But the fact you have other kids too is just wow great job. You’re doing it! This is not meant for the weak. But I just wanna remind you in those moments of exhaustion, frustration, overwhelming anxiety just know that God sees your hard work and he adores you. He is right by your side every late night feeding when everyone is asleep but you. He is proud you are taking such good care of the baby He blessed you with. Stay strong mama! You’ve got this! Remember you can do all things through Christ who gives you strength….. and one piece of advice id like to give is, make sure your newborns head is straight when in the car seat or any type of seat. If his neck is tilted to the side it can cut of his airways. Take it or leave it totally your choice just thought from mama to mama just I’d give it out. Praying for you! May the Lord bless you and keep you may His face Shine upon you and give you peace. 🩵🫶🏻

    I love seeing YOUNG mothers mothering with the level of care and concern that you are! Blessings to you. I was you 28 years ago. My baby boys are 28 and almost 26. I love baby boys. I know you’re exhausted but this too shall pass - they grow so fast. Enjoy every moment of this precious season. Hugs to you. ❤️

    The algorithm sent me this video and watching this sent me back to those newborn days oh my!! My girl is 2 now and I still remember feeling this exhaustion like it was yesterday haha I had really severe PPD so I can totally relate. It finally got better 4-8mo old. When you mentioned wanting to sleep all day I know *exactly* how you feel. Watching you juggle two is incredible. I’m sending you so much love and prayers ❤ as someone else commented God is with you, know that you aren’t alone. I didn’t have strong faith with my first, hoping if I have a second baby in the future knowing I have the Lord with me will help. He can handle anything, He is there for all your struggles and emotions. Not trying to push that on you just hoping that it offers some comfort while you’re in these newborn days cuz they are so difficult! As for co-sleeping, my friend just had a baby in Japan and co-sleeps with her baby it’s normal over there so if it works for you and Kenny then by all means! Especially since you’re breastfeeding that helps. The only thing I would say is be mindful of your sheets, a blanket just for you might be better and reduce any risk even more. My friend and her husband have separate blankets for their bodies and baby sleeps in between them with no blanket.

    hack is to use a bar, craft, or coffee cart as a mobile diaper station that can be moved around the baby’s room, into your room, and so on. As Baby grows, you can repurpose the cart for toys, books, art supplies, or whatever he or she needs at a given stage!😊❤😂🎉

      Thank you so much🥹❤️ and yes, you can search job titles like Quality Review Analyst, Appraisal Specialist, Underwriting Assistant, Document reviewer, Data entry specialist, Etc. As long as the job title doesn’t have “customer service representative” or any type of “representative” because those jobs will literally have you answering phone calls all day and it would be hard trying to take care of a newborn if you are doing that.

    Hey, I've never come across you before but I saw your situation in the thumbnail and wanted to suggest to you a myo inositol supplement. Perfectly safe while breastfeeding. It's very, very good for balancing our hormones. It can upset your stomach so go slowly. I worked up to 10.5 grams twice a day when my husband died and it really helped manage the physical things so I could more easily manage everything else. Hopefully the little guy is sleeping so you can sleep and he's perfectly fine. You can do this...
    Edited to add: If he already has eczema, be very careful with his vaccines. I'm not saying don't do it, but go very slowly and do one at a time because his immune system is already attacking his skin. My son developed encephalitis with his, not a common thing but it happens, and you don't need that on top of everything else.
