6 days pp, overwhelmed, baby blues?

We brought home a beautiful baby girl this past Sunday and I thought I had the hang of things. Diaper, feed, sleep, repeat. It’s still basically the same thing but it’s sinking in how this is our world now. We very much wanted our little girl and I pictured all the new experiences and moments.

But reality hits and it’s not so easy. She projectile poops at us mid diaper change. We still haven’t figured that out. She has a full diaper (pee and poop) and then it shoots out literally as we’re finishing wiping or about to close up the clean diaper.

I’m also feeling like I’m not doing enough. Tummy time? Barely. Books? Not yet. Breastfeeding? Not working out, but at least she’s happy on formula.

She’s not even a week old but this sadness/anxiety is creeping in and worrying me about ppd/ppa. I’m on medication and have a great support system. I’m just hoping it’s the hormones and it’ll go away as quickly as it came.

Edit: thank you everyone for taking the time to share words of encouragement and personal stories. It really helps knowing I’m not alone and there’s a light at the end of this seemingly long tunnel. Wishing everyone and their families lots of love and health ❤️
