Hey, I'm 16 and I have a 3 month old baby boy, I can' tell you if It gets easier or not but you can do it, It may be hard at times but it can be done just keep it up I'm sure you're an amazing mum and if you don't have the support you need there are a lot of places you can go to get the help you need and from what I've heard (as I have a mum working in this area) yeah it will get easier for now you just have to grin and bare it, good luck.

I'm not going to lie to you, it will be a rough road for the next 3 or 4 YEARS.
being a new parent is not easy, you are going to need PLENTY of support from your parents, siblings, etc.
in my opinion things get better once your child can walk and talk, then you can start distracting them with different activities. coloring books, simple games, etc.
you have brought a new life into the world- you are now the person this child relies on to live, and to learn.
there is going to be plenty of crying , because that is the only way they can communicate - discomfort, hunger, etc.
so prepare yourself, it has only just begun.
people do it every day- you can too, FAMILY SUPPORT IS IMPORTANT, your mother and father raised you- they will be an invaluable resource for you.
and they can occasionally help out when you need a sanity break.
good luck.

It depends on the child. My first was a complete angel...slept through the night from about 4 months, never cried unless she hurt herself, started talking at like 1yr, and all that good stuff...BUT my youngest (2yrs old now) is the complete opposite!!! She terrorizes!!! Having a child can sometimes be very difficult. My only advice is to pull through the bad days without losing it in front of them (never show weakness ) hahahah. But seriously...If you can tough it out there is always that rainbow at the end of the tunnel. EX> first smile, when they say mommy, when they say I love you , and just alll that cute stuff!!!

The first couple of years are going to be hard, but gradually it will get easier since they become somewhat more indpendent. but another hard times, are the teen years.. good luck, as long as you rasie your child with good morals, you should have nothing to worry about!

It gets easier, but each age has it's special challenges. The biggest issue when they are very young is the sleepless nights. For the first 3 years I had kids, I thought I'd never get a proper night's sleep again.

I agree with thedude. It's never exactly easy, but it does get easier. I'd say this may seem like the hardest time for you and your baby, when you look back on it. The really difficult phases seem endless, but suddenly you do realise that they've come to an end, and you often get a bit of a break before they go into another 'phase'!

And you're not alone... If you feel at the end of your tether, look for help from family and friends - just take a bit of time for yourself before you go back to the challenges of parenthood.

My baby is 14 months. I loved her being so tiny, but I would not trade her now to be that little again. I wouldn't call it a matter of hard or easy. There are many trade offs, it's just different. She is more independant now, so I don't have to do everything for her (like she can feed herself), but I also had to super baby proof my whole house.
