What month does it start to get easier having a baby?

I think we adjust and as they start to get a schedule going things get easier. I'm only 3 weeks in but that's what I think. I can't wait for her to hold a bottle on her own and sit up even though I don't want her to grow up at the same time
As Liz said... you sort of just adjust to it. And it gets easier when they get more scheduled. I was trying to look back at my records for my first and at 6mo, we were still doing 2 night feeds., but that 2 of his 12 hr night...so you might actually get a 5-7hr stretch of sleep.
I remember with my first thinking 5 months was my absolute favorite age. He started sleeping through the night around 2 months and it made everything seem so much better. I also had so much help at the time so that probably made a big difference. This time around I have no one and it has really made the whole experience kind of sad. We should all have a village it’s not normal this way
This is my 3rd, after 20 years from the last. We’re on a pretty lax schedule but a schedule nonetheless & on week 3. Besides a one off night here & there, we’re doing well…
starting at 4months it got easy up until around 12months old it was the absolute best inbetween those ages with my 1st. now shes 2yrs old and it feels like it will never get “easy” again. my 2nd is a month old and its pretty easy per say but this is just the beginning. each age comes with something new and while some things become easier, theres some things that become harder. like sleep regression every few months. its a give and take with children- from what i learned
With my first, I felt like I was getting the hang of it around 5 months! There’s always tough stages, but now I know it only lasts a couple weeks usually
Curious what others have to say.. I honestly felt the same - the first couple weeks are SUCH an adjustment. It helps to have friends/family around to give you a break here and there. We’re at 5 weeks and I’d say it’s easier than the first two or three - or we’ve just adjusted to this new normal. I think every time you think you’ve figured something out baby changes again lol it’s a constant game of growth and guessing. It’s easier when you just surrender and take it day by day!!
