She was feeling useless when she was pregnant, didn’t like her new limitations. Then the birth was pretty rough, episiotomy… if you don’t know, baby quite literally ripped her a new one. Feeling even more useless and ugly. To top it off, her milk isn’t coming on strong yet so we have to supplement with formula. Baby don’t get It, so she refuses to take the bottle from her. The wife knows she needs help, and that just makes it worse. What do?

Get her to pump what she can and send her out shopping or on a vacation for a few days without the baby. If the baby is on the bottle anyway you can handle it for a bit. She probably needs some rest and a brain reset. At any rate handle the baby for a few days.

Unfortunately I just bought a house, binge shopping and vacation are a bit beyond the current budget.

Send her out with friends or too her parents or something. Anything to get her away from the constant needs of the baby for a while even just a few hours a day will help. Consider yourself lucky. My first time around was twins. There were many weeks of me handling both at night just so my wife could rest.

I dunno, she loves the baby. When they’re hanging out it’s the happiest I see her. I don’t think breaking away is the answer here.
