DD2 is 3 and a half months old and has me at my wits end!! She is rarely content when in her bouncer, or on her playmat. Taking her out is a nightmare! She is not content in her pram unless she is sleeping and she doesn't sleep long... Same in the car seat. I know there is nothing wrong with her - she just wants to be held. I have two carriers - one she hates, the other maybe gives me 10 minutes of contentment if I'm lucky. I'm finding it extremely difficult l, I feel trapped more trapped by her than I do the lockdown! I feel so bad for DD1 who is 2 and acts up a lot because I just can't give her the attention she needs. I grieve the relationship we used to have, and then I feel guilty about it. I feel guilty because I can't give the same attention to DD2 as I did when DD1 was a baby. When we go out I come home a nervous crying wreck because DD2 has woken up and after making sure she's fed and changed etc and is put back in the pram she screams the whole way home. I feel terrible I can't console her when we're out because I can't carry her and push the double buggy.
So, what I really would like to know is a timescale! What are other people's experiences. I'd love to know how long roughly this will last.
