Lonely

Try to change the perspective to help. Maybe think of it as you and your little are getting special time at night for only you two to bond. Think of it as you are being their ultimate comfort right now, you are their everything and showing them how much you care and love them to be right there when they need you. Savor these moments as much as a pain it can feel. One day they won't need us to hold them and comfort them anymore. One day they will sleep on their own and not need our support. Feel your love for your child and focus only on the love and bonding through support. Your heart will feel better, it will feel less like a chore and warm your soul more. I get it, trust me. My oldest will be 2 soon and my younger is almost 5 months. I remember well during the newborn periods with both how lonely the feeling was and jealous my husband got to sleep. But with my 2nd, during her newborn period I shifted my perspective to this by the time she was a month or so old. It didn't change her amount of waking--

But it did change how I felt and how I could change the attitude towards it from lonely and upset, to feeling the deep connection instead. Feel healing with cuddling them knowing you are being their everything and knowing their perspective that "mama came to help me when I'm upset, she stayed with me to make me feel better to show she loves me. I can rely on her for love, care and my trust" This changed motherhood for me from the normal experience to making every moment more special. We can't always change the situation but we can always change the way we react to it and deal with it. I hope this helps. It's ok, mama. ❤️

@Mamax2 I usually I’m trying to keep them quite because one of my other kids sleeps in the same room and I also don’t want them waking up the person in the room next to there’s.
