WFH with a baby and struggling. Tips?
I am working from home with a 4 month old baby and really struggling to juggle it all. I can’t afford a nanny or daycare and I don’t have family nearby. Also husband is most day at work. Any tips on making life a bit more manageable? My baby is so bad at napping too and I think she’s in her peak of sleep regression 😭

I can’t afford it. Prices in CA are insane right now and rent went up 18% on us with the landlord saying: you can’t find cheaper. It’s just been so tough.
I would use my bathroom breaks and 15 breaks to make sure mine is OK change diaper and feed mine then while he sleeps work when he gets upset rock him back to sleep until I am available to cater to him again I been working for me ( find the baby comfort zone)
Maybe a nanny share or pt care? Could you start some kind of neighborhood pod to create a community group care situation? Just some ideas! Sorry you’re going through it right now 💙
