We’ve been lucky and not had to fully self isolate yet, but I am wondering how it works with a baby? I keep sane by going out and about multiple times a day with my 8 month old. She is very active, rarely naps, hates being put down and has about a 15 minute attention span. I love her to bits, but find I quickly get depressed when we have even half days in the house.
(We lived with our in-laws during the lock down earlier this year and just about coped as their house and garden is pretty huge, but couldn’t of course do this if self isolating with possible CV)
In addition, our home is tiny - more of a studio - with no outdoor space and my partner currently has severe depression and anger issues.
The thought of 14 days is something I am not sure either of us would survive.
Has anyone had a similar experience? How did you cope?
