Mums who have a chilled baby are so lucky

I have just come to say that those of you who have a chilled out baby don’t realise how lucky you are. To be able to make a cup of coffee and drink it. Or cook something…. I can’t even make her anything food wise, so I give her porridge and pouches and she would never allow me to fry an egg or do anything that takes longer than 3 minutes . I feel like crying I don’t have any time to do anything as my baby just won’t do anything independently without whining all the time. Im sitting here with a baby who has just fallen asleep in my arms after an hour of struggling. Im so tired but I’ve got to go downstairs and wash/sterilise all the bottles and tidy up ready for tomorrow. Not to mention eat or drink something I’m so hungry, haven’t eaten since breakfast. Now will my baby stay asleep when I put her down…. Probably not then it’s another hour trying again. 😩.

If my baby is just whining I let him because sometimes I just have to go to the toilet on my own or wash something and he just needs to wait in his play pen whilst I do it. I eat when he eats, If it's something I need to prepare slightly for breakfast and lunch then I pop him in his high chair with a spinny toy and chat to him. I hope you can find a moment to yourself because it's draining being attached

As Rebecca said above sometimes you have to let them whine. I know it’s awful to hear, but you have to be able to meet your basic needs. You can’t look after baby if you’re not well because you haven’t been eating and drinking. Have you tried giving them random things to play with? A plastic kitchen utensil maybe while you cook? Do they have a favourite toy - ones that light up or make noise? I feel for you, my girl is clingy and whingey too. It is hard, hopefully they grow out of it

I have tried everything. She has lots of toys and jumperoo and walker but she only plays with anything for a few mins then whines again. The only thing that keeps her from whining is if I am holding her and waking around which then stops me being able to do anything. Her whine turns into a full on cry in no time so I don’t like leaving her as it stresses me out even more. I’m sure it will get better I was having a particularly bad day yesterday. Hopefully it gets better x
