My ds is 4 months now. I’m breastfeeding him and he will only nap on me, in the sling or in the pushchair but wakes up as soon as it stops moving.
I absolutely love being his mum and really enjoy it but am feeling quite a lot of guilt about the household jobs which I can never find time to do!
I think it’s because I can never put him down so never just have any time when I can zip around and get everything done while he sleeps.
I imagined that I would have loads of time on maternity leave to go to new places, go on long walks with the dog and go to baby groups but as it is I feel like I could spend a huge part of the day just cleaning/washing/tidying!
Please give me your tips to get through the housework quicker with a baby attached to me or somehow cope with the guilt of not getting stuff done!
