I am just curious to know how much help others have received when they've had a newborn baby on their hands.

I have a 6 week old bub and I am beginning to feel a little swamped because she feeds very so frequently and is now sleeping less (she's only small). I feel as though I've pretty much done it alone since bringing her home. We had some lovely people bring us some frozen meals and whenever my mum visits (she lives 2 hrs away and is looking after my dad who has cancer so cannot visit as much as she would like) she brings meals and does the washing up etc. Apart from this, no help in the past 6 weeks (I don't like asking for help).

DH is great in generally handling bub but only occasionally helps with the housework (doesn't wash up after dinner, or do any washing) or changing baby if
I ask him to. Has only gotten up about 2 times during the night the whole 6 wks to tend to the baby. To his defence he is really busy having only gone back to work recently after 6 months off with a broken leg and complications. He leaves at 6 am and hasn't been getting home until 6:30 or 7 at night.

Would it be unreasonable to ask DH for more help give the circumstances and that I am the one who gets to stay home with our beautiful girl?

Who do you get your support from and how/how much??
Should I ask for help or just get myself more organised and get on with it? Just so tired!!
