My husband says I'm taking the easy route out.....

Please help me my husband is usually so supportive but has tonight told me I keep taking the easy route out!

Our 3 month old hasn't been the easiest with colic, tongue tie, and reflux!!

She used to regularly be put down during the day for naps but gradually got worse and worse. She will sleep in her next to be crib during the night but wakes instantly when put down in the day.

So I've taken to regularly putting her in the sling during the day so that she sleeps and I can get some jobs done.

Am I wrong?? Should I be doing something else?? I'm feeling like a rubbish mum right now x

Sounds like your husband is being a jerk! Who cares if you were taking the easy way out?? Your baby needs sleep and loves being with you. You putting her in a sling so she can sleep while you get things done is not the easy way out. The easy way out, would be to use his money to pay for a nanny to take care of the baby and put her to sleep while you relax ;)

But why should you make it hard for yourself for no reason?

I have this dilemma/ 'opinions'from others.
DD sleeps ok ish at night but fights naps in day...which leads to over tired and can't go to sleep at night. I resort to pram/car/nap on me. Some view this as bad sleep habits I say it's getting through the day and helping bedtime and daytime naps will come easier when she is bigger.
