The myth that good parents cope alone is harmful nonsense.
For most of history babies were raised communally. The modern village has to be rebuilt deliberately.
Vague requests produce good intentions. Specific ones get results: “Could you take the baby for two hours on Saturday so I can sleep?”
It's more than just feeling sad. Look for: persistent low mood lasting more than 2 weeks, feeling detached from your baby, inability to enjoy things you normally would, excessive anxiety, or difficulty sleeping even when baby sleeps. It affects 1 in 5 parents and is very treatable -- speak to your GP.
Completely normal and more common than people admit. Bonding can take time, especially after a difficult birth or when you're running on no sleep. It doesn't mean something is wrong with you or your relationship with your baby. Be gentle with yourself.
Sleep in shifts if you have a partner -- even one 4-hour unbroken stretch is more restorative than 8 broken hours. Accept every offer of help. Lower your standards for everything except feeding and safety. And please -- if you're really struggling, talk to your GP. Sleep deprivation has real health effects.
