This is hardddddd

My 5 month old is like this too ever since he was born. At least I can say I get a good nights sleep after the fact 😮‍💨

You’re not alone and there’s no reason to feel guilty about it! Pregnant with my second and dreading some of the baby phases! I want to start working much earlier with my second because I really didn’t enjoy the never ending-ness of staying at home with a baby. Now with a toddler it’s so much more fun!
What helped me was baby wearing and just trying to do things for me with my baby, exercise, seeing people, reading while next to my baby, doing chores with my child while they were awake to get proper me time during naps. And not sleeping when the baby sleeps so I get some me-time/ respite from being the primary care giver during the daytime as well!

I can sympathise … I have my boy wrapped around me or in his bouncer in the same room at all times. My older one was also a Velcro baby. And it IS hard! But it does get better. Hang in there 🙌

My son is 4 months old, and he is constantly on my arms,and rarely get a minute for myself, and if I do,I am feeling dizzy. I normally do everything when he goes to bed. The longest stretch is 5 hours from 7 pm. I make sure the house is tidy,meals prepared for the day, and at least I don't have anything to worry about. I do laundry once a week. During the day, I nap when he naps because I wake up exhausted as he normally wakes up 3 times at night. Motherhood is hard,I can't imagine having another little one depending on me, or maybe it gets better 🤔, sending hugs 🫂
