Stressful Rant 🫣🥴.

Anyone else feel like they’re constantly stressed. Like wether or not his hitting his milestones on time or making sure he has enough tummy time. I’m stressed because my he’s not yet sleeping through the night (multiple wake ups min10) like has never slept through longer then 3hrs block. Stressed because he won’t sleep in his bed. 🤣. We’ve also started weaning. He’s on stage 2 pouches and will eat 1/2 pouch today and the other tomorrow and has a porridge every morning. He also doesn’t take a bottle. Is very clingy doesn’t sleep on his own for night or day naps unless the odd in his pram or car! Stressed about going back to work in February 😅. Stressed about weight and appearance. Stressed about needing a break but feeling guilty as soon as you leave your baby for longer then 10 minutes. Just in general stress 🤣.

Can relate to so many elements of this! I found it helpful to just accept some things so I have one less thing to stress about. Like we have given up trying to give a bottle and just accepting he won’t take it. Also accepted that we are co sleeping at the moment and will try back in the cot when he’s doing longer stretches. Also don’t stress about milestones as babies just do things at their own pace. I feel like stressing about all the things they need to be doing can take away from you just enjoying their first year. I completely appreciate there are so many things to stree about and I think a lot of it comes from comparison I.e. this baby is sleeping through, this baby is sitting etc x

Having already had 2 boys I constantly stressed over every little thing. But as Sarah says enjoy the first year it goes by so quickly. Every baby is different just try and let your baby take the lead. As long as they are happy and settled that’s all that matters. It’s awful hearing this baby can do this and that but I learnt when your baby is ready they will do it when you least expect. Your not alone feeling like this at all xx

@Sarah Right?! That’s what we end up doing just giving in to anything and everything :) x

@Lisa I also stress about that too as if i’m not enjoying enough time with him without being too guilty stress 🤣 Hoenstly feel like losing my marbles 🤣🤣

Honestly sounds like you need some downtime. Can you get a break for a few hours? Get a massage/hair done/nails/ something like that to recharge yourself for a bit? Easy to jet the overwhelm stress you out but a bit of time away might help to reset x
