My son is 3 weeks old and I feel like a zombie. My wife is breastfeeding so I'm trying to help with everything else but there's just constantly something. Diaper changes, laundry, trying to sleep when the baby sleeps but my brain won't shut off. When does it get easier? Everyone says it goes so fast but right now every night feels like a week.
Dude, 3 weeks is the hardest part. You're in the zombie zone right now but it does get better. I'm running on cold coffee and dad jokes at this point but at least my son sleeps now. Hang in there, the fog lifts eventually.
Three weeks is brutal, man. You're in the fog right now but it does get better. The constant something feeling will keep going for a bit but you're doing the right thing by being in there helping.
Hang in there. With twins I thought I was losing my mind at that point too, but those early weeks blur together and then suddenly you realize you're actually getting more sleep. You got this.
Those first few weeks are brutal. With twins I thought I was actually losing my mind. The good news is you'll eventually sleep again. The bad news is it takes longer than you think. Diaper duty never stops though.

The breastfeeding schedule is rough for dads. I did everything I could with diaper changes and burping but man, there's only so much you can do when mom's the main food source. You're doing more than you think though.
