Hi everyone.
This may seem a bit odd, but I feel I’ve completely forgotten how to parent a baby. My eldest is now 7 and he was always going to be the only one (until my husband convinced me another would be a good idea!).
Our newest son is 6 weeks old and I feel all over the place because I don’t have a clue what I’m doing, if I’m doing it right or how to juggle life.
I think I blocked out so many things the first time that now I really wonder how I did it?!
I’m sleep deprived (naturally) and LO is suffering with gas/wind issues and I find myself constantly googling for answers.
I don’t have a clue about ‘wake windows’ and I’m pretty sure first time around, I just thought ‘he looks tired’ and went with the flow but I honestly don’t remember anything
and stuff seems more complicated now.
I had a hard time (PND) so was sure I’d never be doing this again.
Im not sure why the baby hates the pram and why he doesn’t sleep in it.
I don’t know when or how to plan a routine.
I’m just lost! It sounds pathetic but it’s true. What do I do?
It sounds bad but I’m still feeling regretful because life felt great and like we were finally in a good place and now we have a baby who I feel I don’t know how to look after! This sounds dramatic but it’s just so complicated and overwhelming to me at the moment.
