Currently 7 weeks in and honestly feeling like we’re just in survival mode. Our LO seems like a relatively easy baby, but requires so much effort to get to sleep that I am too exhausted to do anything besides sit in silence once she’s down. That is, if she manages to sleep somewhere besides on us, which is feeling more rare these days (currently wearing her in a carrier and pacing the house to make sure she gets a nap). Seeing as there are so many parents that have multiple kids, I feel like that must mean this stage doesn’t last for very long because they are willing to do it again.
Is this just first time parent overwhelm? Do you remember a time when life started feeling less like survival mode?
Currently have a 9 almost 10 month old. Each month it gets easier. 6 months is when it really started feeling less like survival and more like living. Naps really did start to solidify around 6 months and we sleep trained at 5.5 months. Also she could hold her own bottle, started playing more, then crawling. We focused a lot on getting a good schedule and learning to play independently.
