Being a new parent is an extremely exciting yet chaotic time. While running on little to no sleep to ensure that their new family member is well taken care of, moms and dads try to adjust to their new lives as quickly as possible. Simple things like finding the time to take a shower become incredibly challenging, but little things like seeing your baby smile become what you live for.

If you know the joys and struggles of being a parent, we’ve got a list down below that you might find painfully relatable. We took a trip to the Beyond the Bump subreddit and gathered some of their most spot-on memes about bringing a new member into the family. Enjoy scrolling through these pics, and keep reading to find a conversation with mother and author Sharon Tjaden-Glass!

    Fed is best. You do what's right for you and your family. I tried to breastfeed and for whatever reason it wasn't working, I was exhausted and distraught, my baby was the same. I swapped to formula and things changed almost overnight, I got a bit more sleep and had a content baby. Don't let anyone make you feel bad for whichever method to feed your baby you choose.
