It’s ok to set baby down somewhere safe and step away to take a beat. There will be times where you feel overwhelmed, like nothing you do can get them to stop crying; those are the times to step away and regroup.

Everything is new for baby, every hunger is the hungriest they’ve ever been, every bump is the most pain they’ve ever felt, every noise the loudest, give them some grace while they get used to living.

Babies are incapable of malice, they don’t know how to be mean, so don’t take anything like only wanting one person, not eating for you, throwing up on you, etc. personally.
