Heatwave hell 😭
I am really struggling in this heat. I’m melting. My 6 week old won’t sleep off me, won’t sleep on me, will fall asleep in a carrier but then I’m sweating and he’s uncomfortably hot. My toddler is misbehaving and is rejecting me. He is struggling without my attention. My littlest wants no one but me. The house is a shit hole cos nothing is getting done with the mayhem going on. I am not having a good time. Anyone else’s April baby struggling??
Oh we’ve also got illness galore. I have nipple thrush, bubs has oral thrush, I have a cold and I think my first period has arrived despite breastfeeding (didn’t with my first). My eldest has ringworm, a cold and cough, skin infection in his nose and conjunctivitis. He’s been back to back unwell for the last 5-6 weeks. Honestly it’s been never ending
Heatwave activities
My baby is almost 4 months old, and I naively thought I could take him out early in the morning for a quick stroll, but it was already 27° at 9 am. We played in the sink for a bit and then the usual tummy time, books, gym, and looking outside. I have a small patio that is shaded, but it feels too hot. I took him out for an early walk yesterday at around 9 am, and he was quite warm in the pram.
My husband will be back to work tomorrow.
