Velcro babies - how the bugger do you wee / shower etc when home alone?

[green33]

He’s seven weeks old and stubbornly refuses all attempts to put him in the next to me crib etc.

I’m desperate for a shower - I stink of stale milk etc. (I didn’t manage to have one last night when DH was home as we had to tag team with holding him / having dinner / housework etc.)

If you’ve had one the same - what do you do? Just put him down in the bathroom and ignore the tears and crying and wailing? It feels awful to see him so upset.

But equally I need to use the loo/make lunch etc.

What’s the kindest thing to do for him?

Mine hated bouncer/vibration chairs but loved a proper rocker. Used to put him in that and sing to him while showering. Usually could get through a shower without too many tears. And then a sling pretty much 24/7. Go to a sling library to make sure your are putting in right. On plus side, the fact they won't go down means less chance of having a flat head!

On these nights your husband needs to put the baby in the pram and go for a long long walk!

Sounds like cluster feeding! It's brutal and relentless but passes by 12 weeks.

Appreciate this might not be the case for you, but my DD would feed with her eyes closed and it blew my mind when I found from a midwife that she was actually asleep. Impressive multitasking.

Hope you manage some rest tonight!
