When does ‘baby brain’ / brain fog lift??
Officially baby is 12 weeks and honestly, I feel like a mashed potato. I can’t plan or think like I used to. It takes me ages to do an online order or to think about what I need when I’m at the shops. My baby contact naps on my chest and so I try and do these life admin things while that’s happening but I really struggle to do things as fast as I used to. Baby also sleep on my chest at night / next to me in the morning. I know it made all of our lives easier in the newborn days but I think it’s effecting my sleep quality.
I’m also procrastinating a lot more. I know there is a huge list of things that need doing ie whether this be buying someone a present / to the post office / buying XYZ but my brain is just so foggy I often never get round to doing it. Of course a lot is attributed to the fact I have a baby now but I really feel like I’m not functioning well.
I’m wondering whether I will sleep better if I keep trying to put my baby into his sidecar crib at least for the first stretch of the night. I sleep so poorly when he’s on my chest or next to me in bed. He moves A LOT and is quite heavy. It’s so sweet though but I think it’s becoming unsustainable
will this brain fog ever lift?? If I have another child I guess it will get even worse with a toddler and a baby!
