There with you my daughter was poorly last week now teething sooo badly and I can't do a single thing alone not even with her sat next to me has to be on me no advice just understanding your not alone xxx
We’re in the same boat and I work full time!
@Abbie how do you manage 😭😭
@Sarah it’s horrible. I don’t know if she’s teething but she must be she’s almost 11 months with no teeth
I have gone back to work 2 weeks now and my baby is like this constantly Barely can do anything, I am literally working and doing housework with her on my hip not to mention running around after a 2 year old 😂 loosing the will
Honestly sometimes I just let them cry… like that sounds mean, but half the time i put my son down and he starts screaming as soon as im in another room and out of sight he occupies himself and stops crying. If they’re fed, clean, etc, then sometimes there’s not much more you can do. Saying that, I wouldn’t say I have a Velcro baby, so can imagine it might be easy for me to just say this. Don’t get me wrong, there are times where I put my son down and he won’t stop crying and gets hysterical, but sometimes there’s just things that need doing. Very overstimulating for sure!!
@Georgina i do try to put her down and just leave her to cry but she clings on to my clothes and ends up falling over and getting more hysterical lol
I put my son down in a different room so he can’t do that 😂 but once he crawls through and he spots me he sometimes comes and tries to crawl up my leg and it’s very irritating. I usually put him down in front of the tv, put miss rachel on (he might watch it, might not) Chuck a few toys in front of him and leave him to it. Sometimes even the fascination of the empty cardboard kitchen roll bit keeps him occupied for ages 😂 but again I don’t have a Velcro baby so this is just what I do. Failing that I just shove some food/water/smoothie in front of him haha
This is so tough. You are doing such a good job, I imagine it’s pretty stressful so be as kind to yourself as you can and have a cry when you need it (it helps relive stress). No advice other than it’s a phase that will pass - keep your chin up x
