I pitched in with both Katie and Kristin, but it was easier, obviously. I held ground until 1AM and then I went to sleep.

It would be nice if they had asked you if it would help you for them to stay with you- holding the baby and so on, cooking meals-wouldn't that be nice! But some people are just not naturally helpful. How about pumping and storing the milk for nighttime feedings? It's a little early to switch to formula. I literally had to force myself to breastfeed for the first week- I really hated it. Some people like it. Eventually I got used to it. Hang in there- this is an adventure!!

When baby is on a better schedule, you won't have so many crying jags. Honest!
Hang in there with the breastfeeding. Don't give into the bottle just yet if you can help it. Give it a good 6 weeks, or the nipple confusion can end your breastfeeding career. :) And there is nothing in this world like nursing baby while you nap. I miss it SO much.
I'm here if you have any questions, okay? A lot of mom's are against scheduling their babies, but I learned my lesson after Riley. I put the next 4 on a schedule and baby and Mama were much happier humans!

Congratulations on having such a beatiful little girl, she's such a little sweet heart (I just looked at your photos).
Everyone else is so full of great advice, and so much faster with the commenting than I am so I'll just leave you with:
You'll find your niche, and once that happens things will begin to look up. Hopefully you'll be able to get some rest soon, that'll help too!
Take care.
((hugs))
