i feel terrible that i left 10 week old baby to cry. she has been having a growth spurt today (I assume) as she has been feeding constantly all afternoon. however, i just had to leave her as my 2 year old just needed some attention tonight.
i knew she was probably still hungery but i just had to leave her as my ds gets no attention anymore (husband works away so have to do bedtime by myself). when i eventually managed to pick her up she was so upset and really hot from crying so much. my health visitor said that i will need to leave her to cry from time to time if i am on my own with a toddler but it is so difficult to leave her.
now i feel awful and my stomach is churning. i really need a glass of wine but have none in the house.
