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 🫂

You’re not some - I felt exactly the same. Motherhood is so hard, and if you have a high needs baby that doesn’t sleep well, it’s understandable why you’re not enjoying it. My little one isn’t a good sleeper either and I get so jealous of those mums who’s babies do sleep. It feels so unfair sometimes! But it sounds like youre doing so well so just hang in there! Xx

I am finding this age very difficult, constant entertainment and lots of grizzling. But i think its just a stage x

My 5 month old is the same. I can put him down for 5 minutes. He’s ebf and we cosleep. So I feel like he’s just attached to me alllll the time. Which isn’t fair on my 8 year old who is going through a lot atm, my 5 year old and my nearly 2 year old. It’s tiring as hell and stressful. But as he is my last baby I try lapse it up because I know I won’t get it again and this stage is the best. Don’t feel bad if u have to let baby cry for a bit. Ur not failing. Ur doing great. Seek help if u feel too low please. X
