Our son is 2 weeks old and I feel like we're just winging it every single day. Wife and I are exhausted, baby cries at random times, sometimes he eats for 20 minutes sometimes for 45. Is this normal? When does it start getting easier? Everyone keeps saying 'it goes by so fast' but right now it feels like time is moving backwards.
This is exactly how I felt. First month was just survival mode. But honestly you learn more in those first weeks than any book can teach you. The winging it feeling goes away once you realize you're actually doing great.
Every new dad feels this way. Second guessing everything, checking if he's breathing, wondering why he cries. Two weeks in you're exactly where you should be. Give it a month and you'll wonder why you were even worried.
Dude that exhaustion is no joke. We're two months out now and I still have moments where I'm like wait what do we do? But yeah it settles down. You're not winging it, you're just not sleeping so your brain feels foggy.

Two weeks in and feeling like you're winging it means you're doing it right honestly. Everyone feels like that. The exhaustion is real but it gets easier. You guys are gonna figure it out faster than you think.
