This is my second child so I know that everything is a phase that will pass and there will be different challenges further on but I am struggling at the moment.
Baby is 9 months old and not crawling yet. He gets very frustrated being put down as he wants to move but can't. He can get onto his knees but only for a few seconds before flopping onto his tummy and then starts crying. He will go in the bouncer for a little bit so I can nip to loo or get older child lunch etc but otherwise I don't really know what to do with him.
I also find with him being the second that his naps are all over the place because we're here there and everywhere with older child and he ends up with little cat naps throughout the day. If I am at home on my own with him he'll go for a long 2-3 hour nap in the afternoon. I feel guilty on days he doesn't get that solid chunk of sleep and also from a slightly selfish pov he's sleeping whilst I'm driving so I get no down time to get anything done!
I don't know if this will be easier or harder once he can actually move. I got post natal anxiety with my first when he hit 8 months and I worry it's creeping back again. Although it is more tolerable knowing what it is and that it will pass.
I don't know what I need from this post, but just needed a rant.
