Single parents/Parents with working partners - Coping alone during Covid-19?

Hey guys. My partner had been laid off work and is starting a new job tomorrow, working 12-hour shifts so I will barely see him. This leaves me at home alone most of the time with my 4month old daughter.

As much as I love her more than anything in the universe I am dreading the loneliness. Usually I would see my brother, mum, dad, grandparents, friends etc at least once a day - this obviously is now impossible.

She has her good days but is now entering that weird 4 month ‘regression’ bit where sleep is all over the place, immunisations tomorrow, tired and grumpy, and she’s a very intense needy baby.

How is everyone else coping with being at home alone with their babies/children? If I’m honest I’m a bit scared. Hurry up and go away, Covid-19.
