Juliette - we all understand how you feel. All babies have nights/days like that. I've just come off 2 days of Matty being really whingey, tired, crying, just have to be there - like you said.

I know it's the worst thing in the world to hear your baby crying and feeling helpless as you can't help, but you are helping by being there and feeding her when she needed it.

You are a good mother and I know that because you care enough to worry about her. It does get better, I can tell you that from experience. Remember they are trying to learn how to live in the outside world and crying is the only way they know how to communicate (I'm telling my DH this all the time!) Everything feels 100 times worse when you are sleep deprived. Was Tim there to give you a hug? Tell him to give you lots of hugs from us.

Hope today is/was a better day.
