Mel, yea of course the baby is newborn, but Im sure everyone complains about something one time or another... Im about to have my baby, and im sure Ill be complaining some. IIts petty to point out every little thing a person does. If you dont like to see complaining or whining on your facebook, either delete the person, or hide the comment.

I really get annoyed at people who complain that there few day old babies are not letting them sleep,or feeding all the time,or popping or peeing or whatever reason. It's a baby! It doesn't sleep you same patterns, it doesn't eat the same times as you and it doesn't go to the potty when needed SO HELLO!!! God, some people.

I averaged 2-5 hours per night until my son was 6 months old. I still wouldn't have been able to nap during the day.... except on rare occasion.

I can't hardly remember anything from the girls first 3 months cuz I was a constant zombie.

Knowing what to expect doesn't mean you don't have the right to complain when you are exhausted....

"@OhJessie.....I wouldn't have it any other way lol my husband is on call 24/7 so there are times i sit up and worry about him as well ( he will get called to do an impound in a seedy area in the wee hours of the am) my motto is... I can sleep when i'm dead lol "

Apparently that is when we get to sleep lol. Believe me, I sympathize!!!!

Shannon my husband says that. Its funny he can live off so little sleep and I MUST have alot lol. He can literally come to bed at 3am and get up at 4 for work, or he can not sleep at all. He does work for his dad during the night and works full time long hours in the day.

OhJessie thats what I was geting at. This lady has a 5 yr old I thought she would know what to expect. I knew what to expect before I had any babies. Its just kind of drummed into your from everyone and common sense . Newborn baby = no sleep or very little sleep for a while. And I am SO in agreement iwth your comment Emma. Its not that I want to judge her but use a bit of common sense. im trying to be supportive. I understand she had a hard labour and emergency c section.

Shannon - you bet your 15 year old gives you sleepless nights lol. And I hate to tell you this but even in their 20s that doesn't get better. We became parents for life, and apparently life is what we've got.

Tired with a 2 DAY old? Um...what did one expect? The birth alone is exhausting enough for weeks. Much less a baby. I really don't understand people. (Personally I didn't feel "myself" again for 3 months or more...they want instant rebound after two days? Insane.)

It's because Facebook is a priority I'm saying. So many people on my Facebook feed... ARE ON FACEBOOK while their kid is down for a nap instead of taking a nap and getting refreshed to deal with their baby. Yet they will still whinge their house is messy, they don't have enough time in the day, babies are too stressful... yadeyadeyada but oh look... Facebook update every 5 minutes. They also stay up late into the night facebooking while their baby is asleep instead of sleeping then feel like they're entitled to sleep in until 9 and bitch about it if their baby has other ideas.

give her a break. she just had a baby and she is in pain. the pain alone will make you crazy. even if she hates her baby at 2 days its actually normal. its a form of depression and it is real. facebook is a good place to vent, i do it all the time. you wouldnt be here venting if you never got frustrated. so try to understand we are all different but we are the same too. she needed to tell the facebook world that she is tired. i can come up a lot of other things to bitch about after having a baby because those first few days and sometimes even the first few weeks really suck ass. starting at about day 2.

get off the internet? It was first thing in the morning and its my birthday party today so I dont have time to sleep, not to mention my bbay slept all night through I think your a little confused by my post...unless Im reading it wrong

And yeah Emma, I just think people shouldlnt complain 2 days in thats all. I feel like its wrong. My first bbay didnt sleep AT ALL during the night for a week straight and I had visitors all day so i ran off slepe seconds at a time but I didnt shoot my mouth off about it already. It just seems silly to expect more from a 2 day old :S

Get off the internet and sleep when your baby sleeps. Don't worry about your friend and her baby. Instead, do the best you can for yours. There may be a medical reason that your friend can't breastfeed - not everyone can - or it might be that she is selfish. Either way, don't worry about it.

I remember when my daughter was little that I was so tired that I feel asleep leaning on the wall while waiting outside my boss' office. However, I survived and you will, too.

I think these people need to get off the internet and sleep when their baby goes down. Seriously, they're not going to sleep all damn day, get over it. You can't put them down, do house work, facebook, have *me time* AND sleep all night too.

I hear ya there, i have people on facebook i just wanna snatch up and shake because of what they have done to their kids or what they are doing to their kids... I just keep hoping they will wake up before its too late :-/ You should tell them to get used to it... my 15 yr old still makes me have sleepless nights lol
