Baby brain? Or something else?

[Babybrainor]

I’m becoming really concerned about my complete ineptitude. I had a baby 3 months ago, and I know ‘baby brain’ has been disproved but I am constantly putting myself and family into problematic situations because I keep losing keys mainly. I’m so frustrated and upset with myself. Does anyone have any advice?

I have a nearly 4 month old and feel your pain, it is so tough. Is it just the keys you’re losing or other things too? Are you usually a forgetful person like would you have lost your keys before?

And how are you feeling in yourself in general? If you’ve been down with no real explanation then it could be post partum depression, I’m sure forgetfulness is one of the signs.

My advice would be have a think and if there are other things which might point to PPD then speak to your GP. If not then maybe writing a list the night before for each morning of things to do and check it off? Breakfast, pack baby bag, phone, keys etc? I find lists really helpful.

Take care OP 🫶🏻

P.s you’re not inept, just human ❤️
