Reached my max

Anyone else just reached their max over the last couple of days in terms of mothering especially in this heat. Just absolutely had a breakdown crying once I finally got him to sleep. I’ve had a headache all day, been tired, hot, etc. but you just can’t stop. Took us 4 hrs to get him to sleep.

Oh thats rough, im so sorry. I find what helps in summer is lots of outdoor time, could be walks, park, splash pad, water table, sprinklers anything. Come in for quick clean up and easy dinner then its bedtime. It gets better I promise, Sending hugs

Best size 4 nappies?

We currently use nutmeg size 3, but concerned about the size 4s being ultra absorbant/different to what we're used to and the price is a bit much with the sie increase. Any idea if they're any good or any recommendations for other nappy brands

Heat wave and tv

Please tell me I’m not the only one! Since the start of heat wave my baby has been constantly whingy and whiny (understandably!) but she doesn’t stop. She normally has an hour or so through the day here and there of tv (low stimulation programs) but since the heat wave I feel the only thing that distracts her it’s tv! Doesn’t matter if it’s me watching my shoes or hers she just seems to forget about being hot if that makes sense?? Anyone else?
