I expected as much from newborns so I didn’t put her down. She slept with feeding. As soon as I put her down she woke up and cried. We co slept. She won’t tolerate her daddy for more than 20 mins without crying for me.

We’re now at 5 months and it’s actually worse because of teething. I’m carrying her in a sling but she’s just poo-ed through it. I can’t carry her all day. I have an older SEN child to look after. I am getting nothing done at home. No cooking or tidying.

Dh is doing his best but I think he expected me to be able to cook a few meals after 5 months.

WTF do I do? Baby is crying now while I type this but I’m desperate. My older one didn’t do this.
