It gets better honestly! You'll always have days that you don't seem to do anything right but the good days make up for it and far outweigh the bad days
 
Didn't want to read and run. Just want you to know its get easier. You're still getting to know each other, as time passes yoyll know her cries and anticipate her needs. If she has a clean nappy, is fed, warm enough and burped, put her down somewhere safe and take a few mins, make a cup of tea, take a deep breath, go to the loo :eek:) and go back to her. babies cry andputting her down occasionally to keep your sanity is fine. Do try and relax tho, it sounds easier said than done but babies really pick up on anxiety. Plenty of cuddles and hokefully she'll settle down in this scary new world. You're doing great and were always here to vent. Maybe invest in a sling. It really helped calm F down in the early days and now she loves it Xx
 
Thank you both .... I will look into the sling , I will try anything just to make the baba happy xx
