You can do it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-it-gets-better#post-121984 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 01:26:01 +0000 looch 121984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, I'll take the opposite tack...it gets "different," how about that? It think it gets more challenging as the kids get older and start walking, want to communicate but can't talk, start having preferences and opinions about food, clothing, toys, etc.</p> <p>I know it's hard to see beyond the current, but the baby days are so short compared to the rest of their lives, so there's an end! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-it-gets-better#post-121940 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 21:57:22 +0000 SAHM0811 121940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll never forget how hard those first few months were for me as a first-time mom... and people would often tell me "it gets better", but every day felt like an eternity and I just kept waiting and waiting for it to get better... well it finally did... little by little. for me, it was noticeably better at 3 months, 4 months and 6 months. there were good days and bad days and I just became really appreciative of any "me time" and breaks I could get. Hang in there!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-it-gets-better#post-121938 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 21:55:42 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 121938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>IT GETS BETTER!! </p> <p>I was the same way just a few weeks ago. Although I'm still battling my neighbors dog barking next to DD's windown non-stop, all of the other things do get better (the nipples, the sleep, etc.) </p> <p>I agree with @Chopsuey119. If you pump and bottle feed, it could help to fill up your LO longer and give you a little bit of a break. </p> <p>*Hugs* We've all been through it and we're all here to support you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-it-gets-better#post-121935 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 21:45:11 +0000 sandy 121935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I asked all my mom friends the same thing when LO was about 2 weeks old and most all of them assured me it would get better...and it did! At the time I swore I would never forget how down I was feeling (the hormones are crazy and it seems like you are reliving the same 2-3 hour cycle) but now LO is 5 months and I can barely remember how it was. For me things got so much better around 10 weeks...still difficult dealing with the breastfeeding for a bit longer but definitely so much better!</p> <p>IT WILL GET BETTER :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-it-gets-better#post-121931 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 21:41:18 +0000 Navy_Mommy 121931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Clementine: How old is your LO? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-it-gets-better#post-121896 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 21:17:27 +0000 mediagirl 121896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awwww! Hugs, @clementine! I hope it gets better soon for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-it-gets-better#post-121855 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 19:44:33 +0000 heffalump 121855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>IIt gets so much better, and quick. My mom kept telling me when lo is 3 months it will be easier. I didn't believe her, but she was so right. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-it-gets-better#post-121854 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 19:43:04 +0000 mrs. wagon 121854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It gets better, and better, and better! Then it gets bad again (but not NEARLY as bad as the beginning). And worse. But then it gets AMAZING. </p> <p>Just concentrate on making it to the next day and you will survive!! And know that you are not alone!!! So many of us have been there and we know how you feel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-it-gets-better#post-121819 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 19:04:08 +0000 chopsuey 121819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It gets better!!! Do you breastfeed or bottle? I found that pumping and bottle feeding can help LOs get fuller faster, longer and helps them sleep better. When I was breastfeeding my LO she was on the boob 24/7! It was SO exhausting. Finally I started pumping and it allowed DH to feed her and I got a much needed break!<br /> Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-it-gets-better#post-121815 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 18:59:37 +0000 Andrea 121815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, yes, yes! It gets better and you will love it some day, I promise. Have you tried to sleep with a white noise machine for yourself to try and drown on your neighbors' noise? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-it-gets-better#post-121809 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 18:49:08 +0000 cyndistar3 121809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It totally gets better! Before long baby will be sleeping through the night and eating on their own and you will somehow come to miss the baby stage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-it-gets-better#post-121806 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 18:37:16 +0000 regberadaisy 121806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>aww I'm not a mommy yet but it's GOT to get better right? *hugs* Go take a breather tomorrow when your husband is home, you deserve it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-it-gets-better#post-121805 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 18:35:01 +0000 banana 121805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It gets better! Just hang in there! We've all endured it and lived to tell about it. You will too! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-it-gets-better#post-121803 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 18:24:57 +0000 brownie 121803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It gets better. And it could definitely be worse. My little boy screamed for 12 hours a day nonstop. I was so exhausted one day, I fell asleep with him screaming on my lap. Now he is a sweet heart. It is totally worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-it-gets-better#post-121802 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 18:24:35 +0000 brownie 121802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It gets better.

My baby always wants to be fed and never sleeps. When I do sleep, I've been battling noisy neighbors i.e. either bass music or loud tv on both sides of me. My DH is exhausted when he comes home, so he's not much help. My boobs hurt from being engorged. I smell like breastmilk 24-7. </p> <p>I'm ready to lose it....please tell me, it gets better! </p>
