who still can't get anything done outside of nursing, changing and soothing the baby?
Oscar is now two months old - our house is a tip, I haven't folded and put away the laundry since he was born, we just take it off the drying rack or out of the tumble dryer -
I still have days when I don't manage to change out of my jammies
IF he does nap, I can maybe make one quick phone call before he starts up again. I haven't cooked a meal since he was born.
I feel so discouraged when I read about other mums or see them out and about looking so calm and glam.
He is wonderful but he just demands constant attention. I've tried controlled crying to get him to learn to sleep by himself, but somehow we failed on that and are still pacing around the house rocking him to sleep each night. OH stays up until 3 with him. If he is awake and calm, he wants to play and I feel I am missing out on his smiles if I just leave him to his own devices.
It's like he is tuned into me and if I dare to do anything other than pay attention to him it's wwwwwwwwaaahhhh waaaaahhhhhh wahhhhhhh
AND at night he still wakes to feed every three hours or so.
I've read a bunch of books and gotten fed up. We have tried all sorts and mum says it is just his personality and he is still little and give it a bit longer he will settle down.
Am I doing it all wrong or what?
