raising baby alone

Okay so I live in a state 8 hrs away from family absolutely will have no help with my son. Should I stay with my dad for the first couple weeks? No family or friends where I'm at and bd ain't worth nothing.

I have a 4 week old and I strongly suggest staying with your dad cause you're gonna need as much help as you can get. I don't know what I would have done without my fiancé and mom. The first two weeks are the hardest (getting adjusted to the baby, learning signals, baby getting adjusted to things, lack of sleep, hormones, and recovery) but at 3 weeks its like everything clicked. He started sleeping better, he adjusted his days vs. nights, and we were adjusted to each other. I would definitely stay with your dad.
