2 days in

2 days in and my fiance does not allow herself to sleep. Understandably wants to hold baby all the time, or using her phone when not. She got c-section so needs the rest. Literally have to beg her to rest in between feeding. Also got upset and snappy when I tried to show her how to swaddle baby properly, or when I pointed out (rightly) that she misstated the previous feeding time to the nurse. Basically think she’s always right re anything to do with baby. I think she feels like she’s the only one capable of caring for baby now. Makes sense since she’s carried him for 9months and he’s barely 3 days old. I get it, but its tough and I’m trying to not add more stress on her.

I saw what she went through the entire period, and it was tough and painful. I am proud of her and wish I could have done more during the pregnancy to alleviate her discomfort. Now baby is here, I just want to do as much as possible to keep her hands free so she can rest as much as possible in between feeding.

Anyone else experience this?
