Finding it hard
Shes almost 6 months and i feel like its getting harder to look after her?? I thought newborn stage wasnt for me (i spent most of this with severe ppd) but now shes super wriggly, harder to change, takes much longer to settle to sleep at night. Shes angry, gets bored easily, gets upset when she doesnt have her toy/teether......which she just launched 5 minutes ago
I dont even know what im trying to say. Im struggling, entertaining her all day, stuck in because my anxiety makes it impossible to take her anywhere myself.
Im an introvert and hate socialising with strangers so baby classes arent an option. Now she is teething so randomly screaming during the night.
Im finding it increasingly difficult to know what she wants, or whats wrong with her. Im feeling pretty fed up and like i dont want to be a parent right now

My little boy turned 6 months 8 days ago and he’s the same always needs something in his mouth he’s started to cry when we leave the room he rolls when doing his nappy he suddenly needs rocked to sleep instead of being put down in his cot always bored and it feels impossible to find things to entertain him sometimes especially when I’ve tried everything. We also don’t go out unless my fiance is off work which is rare at the minute because he’s picking up all the overtime he can get so it does feel lonely. I’m lucky enough to live right next door to my sister in law but you still get that feeling of ‘I don’t want to nag all the time for help’ I think it’s just coming into a new era of development that we just need to get used to just like how we had to get used to the newborn stage.
