Constant screaming

[Souldestroying]

Little one is 5 weeks old. Already seeing a mental health midwife and health visitor is keeping a closer eye on me because of my pnd after my daughter. But seriously how do people cope with 2. Finally got in a good mental space then got pregnant and feels like I've gone down hill since. He constantly crys grunts and groans and wants to be held 24/7. Feels like I'm neglecting my daughter and house work because he's constantly attached to me. I suffer with me intrusive thoughts and weren't allowed to drive a car because they got that bad where I would kinda black out mentally and just do stupid shit. I feel like I'm that close to snapping I want to pack a bag and leave before I do loose it completely. Sorry think I just needed to get it off my chest

Sorry that you're going through this OP. I don't have much experience but I know that others with 'velcro' babies find it really useful to put baby in a sling so that they can get on with other things.

Acid reflux? Worth a visit to GP?

Otherwise, sling saved my sanity. Both babies did everything in the sling - feeds, naps etc.

My little one is 5 years old and I have a nearly 4 year old boy. I wear the sling when we're at home as that keeps my little one calm and it means i can play with my big one. It has also helped with wind problems!
