Hello ladies!
I'm currently a FTM to a beautiful LG who's 12 weeks nearly. I'm having a hard time with doing anything with her as she won't adapt well or for long.
She will only nap on me (not a problem) but wants to sleep or nurse all day. She is only really awake for about 3hrs throughout the whole day where she is not doing these things. I try to do things with her from going for a walk to baby massage and she just has none of it. she just screams till she can nurse back to sleep or be held ( sometimes she'll let me rock her to sleep). She hates the buggy, and won't go to sleep in it. Won't sit in her bouncer or play mat or anywhere but my arms.
It's basically just me and her as we have no family nearby and dad is never home due to work and studying (work 5 days a week, studies in library evenings and weekends). So there's no one to help or even speak to.
I've tried to get out with her a few times but she just screams and I end up turning back. I have to carry her everywhere with me and still then shes normally not very cooperative (wants to be held on shoulder and moving about). I dread doctors appointments or anything really because she just screams when awake.
Any words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated. I love her to bits but I just don't know what I'm doing wrong.
