Our baby is four months old. I'm really struggling with her, she makes 'unhappy' noises a lot - it's not so bad on days when she naps, but some days she just can't seem to sleep and then the unhappiness is constant, and no amount of distraction/playing/singing/holding/sling walking/etc seems to do anything.
I end the day exhausted and feeling pretty crap about myself.
At lunchtime today I commented to my husband that the baby hadn't napped at all this morning and I was probably in for a difficult afternoon - his response was to say 'Well she can't sleep all the time and it will only get worse as she gets older'. This isn't the first time he's said something like this, and he often likes to tell me that when she becomes a toddler she will be more difficult/demanding etc.
I like to believe that I will cope better with an older child, and that I'll find then easier to communicate and play with - but even if he's right and it's just all shit from here on out, why keep telling me? What does it help? It's not like I can decide I'm a crap mum and give the baby back or something!
