hey there hon

you know, with a first baby, no matter how desperately the baby was wanted, no matter how deeply the baby is loved, as you've found out, it's a huge life-adjustment and therefore a big shock.

i'm glad you've reached out here and glad you're looking to the future as regards weaning and a car etc. the best way to get thru is to remind yourself that the early feelings of isolation wont last forever.

and maybe you can take some pleasure in watching your baby make simple but beautiful mile-stones. nothing beats the first smile, first gurgle, first attempt to crawl, toddle, hand-feed etc. and it helps a stressed-out new mom to realize the precious gift they have in a child.

good luck to you hon and 's
