Hi all,
I'm a first-time mum to a 3-month old baby, and while I love her to bits, I'm finding it hard.
It's not so bad when we're out and about, and I do try to go out and do at least one thing each day, but whenever I'm at home she is grumbly unless I'm giving her constant attention. Obviously it's lovely to talk to her, sing to her etc but there are a couple of hours each day when I need to do housework or make dinner etc and she is just grumbling constantly which is really testing my patience! She will go on her playmat for a bit and loves her bouncer chair but only if I am bouncing it constantly which makes it difficult to do anything else.
Does anyone else find this difficult? Do you just have to accept that your house is going to be a mess and you can't get anything else done or is it possible to get into a routine where you know your baby will sleep for a certain amount of time during the day?
My baby is sleeping well at night (10pm-6am) which I am incredibly grateful for but just has v short naps in the day and not at set times, so maybe this is the problem?
Thanks!
