To not understand how to do this?

[Mississippilessly]

7 week old DS. Sleeping is pretty good at night (tho last night wasnt great!) but he gets overtired so easily in the day. Im trying so hard to get him to nap. He has only alept for 7.5 hrs since midnight and i have been trying since 11.30 to get him off to sleep. I have just managed it.
This is shit. I hate it.

I think you are asking too much of yourself too soon. Spend a few weeks just getting to know each other. You dont have to go out shopping or socialising until you feel ready and your baby is settling

confused yeah thats what I think, too.

Thanks to you lovely lot i now feel enormously proud. After a difficult birth and complications afterwards i am managing to get out and about. This morning i have reacted to what i think he needs and my lovely boy is still snoozing away. He will wake up when he wants to . I have listened to my instinct.

This parenting lark is none too easy!!!

My first is ten years old :o I suppose it gets easier with time and experience.
