When the going gets tough....

...I start crying.

We all know raising a child is difficult, but until we actually go through it yourself. To simply say it's extremely exhausting just doesn't seem justify it; words can't really explain how difficult and testing a time it is, and this is coming from someone who's only had a week of it!

We've had trouble trying to sleep (as the previous post mentions), if he's not crying he's feeding. This is such a testing time for us especially for my wife, not only is she awake 23.5hrs a day either feeding or soothing him, she is also trying to recover from a major operation. All she can think of is how I will cope without sleep when I go back to work.

  2. Don't worry about it, you'll survive, everyone does. Is what Bilal is going through what they describe as 'colic'? I think that's just science's way of saying it has no clue. Baby cries. Then he stops. No explanation. Try gripe water or whatever it's called, a bit of dill tea can help too. Or maybe not, nobody knows. Courage.
