I don't know if its just the lack of sleep or the other stresses i'm dealing with at the moment (mum going through cancer and starting chemo next week) but today in particular i am feeling very very overwhelmed, like i can cope with anything anymore
We don't have a proper strict routine especially if she has had a bad night we get up later, i feel like i need to set a schedule where by such and such a time we are up then say 10am its nap time then 1pm lunch.
Plus obviously trying to run the house looking after the animals doing the cleaning, laundry etc plus taking my mum to hospital and getting in time to visit my friends. Making dinner and Amelia is being weaned so setting out a schedule for that.
I know there are lots of mums out there who do all this and tons more especially if they have poorly babies (seriously i don't know how you do it you must have some very special gift!)
Damm this thing always posts before i am ready, sorry i am ranting a bit but things feel way too much at the moment.
I need help with making up foods for her to try and like, i give her breakfast, lunch and dinner, but should she have baby rice at lunch and then puree at dinner or vice versa. Or should she not have baby rice anymore? Should i be giving her water with her meals...
Should i still be nursing her before all meals? Should she still be feeding from me every 2hours during the day and then 2/3 times at night. Aswell as having all her solids.....
God they don't make this easy do they!
