Stressed out

Yes, mine is the same and my first baby was even worse 🥴
But as a second time parent I know this phase is temporary and it will be over and one day you won’t remember what it was like anymore. But for now I just take him with me to put the washing in or put washing away, sometimes I cook with one hand and other times pop him on the floor in the kitchen. I know it’s not easy but it will be over soon.
I know everyone has their own preference but I wouldn’t put a baby into childcare to clean. Your house will be clean soon but their childhood is very short xx

If you can afford a cleaner, then I’d recommend getting one round once a week to help. It’s helping us big time! And cheaper than a daycare.
As for laundry, same as above, I take him with me next to the washing machine and he’s obsessed with it now. And he can be outside with me when I hang it on the line.

It’s so hard isn’t it! I’m sorry you’re feeling that way. To get anything done I literally have our little boy in the carrier or carrying him in the other arm, it’s literally exhausting and my shoulders and back are ruined 🙃 we are also considering getting a cleaner too. Sometimes he’s happy to sit in his high chair or cot but I have to give him a performance and a song whilst I’m doing whatever I’m doing! It’s not easy at all so I feel your pain ❤️

Get a baby wrap and wear him. It’s what I did with my daughter. She was the exact same way as how you describe your son.

And then get everything done that you need done

No advice for the napping as mine does nap but if you really feel like you want to put him in childcare it really does do them so much good socially over time and you can have a bit of me time and time to do a bit of tidying. Have you tried taking him for a short walk in the pram to make him go to sleep then leave him in it while you get something done

My boy is 8 months & is the same. He's my 2nd so I know this will not be forever but it is so hard & very frustrating. I called it the trapped stage because I constantly had a baby strapped to me. My girl was the same but I'd say her Brother is slightly worse. I wish I could help you out, I know how exhausting it is. Feel free to message me if you need a rant or just someone to talk to xx

Will he go in a walker? When my 3 year old is at school 'my 9 month old follows me about doing hoovering washing etc. I just keep giving him random objects to inspect and play with. When i am putting it away if he's awake I sit him on a bed with toys and sort it all out into piles and then move him with me to each bedroom to put it away. Long winded but I have music on and keep talking to him. Mine has a slight strange obsession with our hoover so he's delighted when it comes out. Xx
