New dad here and I’m not hold up well


Meant to say not holding up well.My wife and I just had our first born three weeks ago.For context my wife is pumping and breastfeeding and I just went back to work this week.We still haven’t figured out much of a sleep schedule. One night I get up at 3 am to feed him and another night I’ll get up at midnight to feed home. It’s really all over the place.Most times when I get up with him he doesn’t go back to sleep after feeding. He just cries and takes everything for me to try and calm him down. Last night I just broke and placed him down so he could just cry. I’m scared because at that moment I was really questioning my connection with him. I did try to calm him down a bit more but I ended up waking up my wife and just went to bed and cried.I feel terrible because my wife is getting minimal sleep with feeding and pumping. Most days I just feel like I’m in a fog.We don’t have any family near us although my mother in-law has been here to help, but she leaves at the end of the week. via /r/Parenting http://bit.ly/2IPFL62
