Do babies ever get easier?

[Helena1993]

Just.. This...
My baby is 6 months old and while things have definitely gotten easier, it still feels relentless. I still struggle with many night wakings and I just feel like I lost my identity in the process of becoming a mum. I don't do anything I used to do.
I wake up from a difficult night and do the laundry, dishes etc. while entertaining my son. This goes on for the whole day and then we go down to bed and have another difficult night. I'm starting to get depressed. I cried today because I feel trapped.
A friend said it will never get better.... Is it true?

It's so different for everyone.

There are good and bad in every stage. As someone that is doing some stages concurrently, I just try and look for the positives in everyone. But lack of sleep at any age is draining.

I've decided 4 months is the best stage.

They start to sleep better at night, colic subsides. No bloody weaning yet. They are happy looking at their hands they can't move anywhere quickly and they can't have major strops! Haha.

I've got 19 months. I'm finding it hard. But he's still not sleeping through which is affecting me. On the contrary my other problem is my other child won't wake up.

Definitely get out. Find you. And take a break.

You can't change him. He has to want to change. You can, however, push him a bit. Book something nice for yourself to do and leave him to it with baby.

Weaning is a real problem. She puked on me twice today and it's still morning. I give her a spoon of whatever. It doesn't matter if I try BLW or pureed food. She refuses to eat it but is very hungry all the time
