Overstimulated

Asking for the same thing I’m a second time mom and my first time staying home with both babies. I only stayed home with my daughter but for maternity leave. After she turned 5 months I went to work. Found out I was pregnant with second baby and had to stay home. Baby is 6 months now. My daughter is 2 years old almost 3.
Walks!!!!! I’m also a first time sahm and it’s definitely not what I thought it would be 😂 but when I’m overwhelmed or overstimulated I just put her in her stroller and go for a walk. It helps both her and I. I’m able to just breathe for a bit and she likes to look around. This also helps when she’s extremely tired and hasn’t taken a nap in a while. I just walk for as long as it takes me to feel at peace and then we return home.
Ooo walks have been my go to especially since it’s getting warmer!
hot bath and drive to starbucks
I agree with the other ladies but I will also add , Vicks sticks and air conditioner to the face
Loop earplugs, special ones for kid noise
cold plunge your face. there’s also nothing wrong with putting your baby in a safe space you walking outside of the room for a second and taking a couple deep breaths
