Baby is 3 months old and whilst we’re in somewhat of a routine … it’s just absolute chaos when my husband comes through the door. It’s eat (baby will very recently lie contrntky awake in his bassinet whilst we eat) but sometimes we have to take it in turns to eat whilst babe is held. Then it’s clean up the kitchen (usually me which I’m happy to because husband holds the baby as he’s been at work all day. Then I jump in shower, then we BOTH bathe him, then I breastfeed to sleep. But often it’s a combination of rocking and breastfeeding which can take up to 90 mins for him to settle sometimes.
my husband usually helps with the rocking and then passes him to feed but recently he’s been doing a 20 min workout with the weights… and I’m just a bit… jealous maybe? I’m glad he is. He says I can go on a 20 min run whilst he holds the baby but realistically I just don’t see how it’s possible when we’re trying to fit everything else in! I’ve read that babies need an earlier bedtime but at the mo he’s not going to bed until 10pm (he has 4 naps a day)
added to the fact he only co-sleeps because he’s not easy to transfer at all I just feel like evenings are completely bonkers! The only option is to maybe literally move closer to husbands work so he doesn’t come home at 7:00 but even then it might only cut it by half an hour….
is this normal and just apart of parenthood? Maybe it’s just the life adjustment
