3 weeks in and I feel like a zombie. My wife and I are running on fumes. The baby feeds every 2-3 hours around the clock and I can't get more than 30 minutes of solid sleep at a time. I know this is normal but man nobody really prepares you for how brutal sleep deprivation actually is. Does this improve?
It absolutely does. By 8-10 weeks you'll start seeing some predictability. By 4-5 months sleep becomes more of a thing again. The first month is just survival mode, which is totally normal.
It gets so much easier. Around week 6-8 something just clicks and you start feeling human again. Nights are still rough but way more manageable. You're in the hardest part right now.
Three weeks in is the hardest part, I'm not gonna lie. But yeah, it does get easier. The 2-3 hour feeding thing feels like forever right now but hang in there.

Dude, I'm right there with you at 3 months. Some nights I don't even know what day it is. People keep saying it gets better and I'm choosing to believe them. You're not alone in the zombie life.
