I need tips or advice: what was or were the pin points, tips, changes you made to help work 40 hours a week with a baby? My baby is 3 months, will ge four months soon. She's not sleep trained. I'm struggling hard because I work from 7am to 3:30pm, because of her still waking and screaming or babbling, I function on 4-6 hours of interrupted sleep. I dont get the same shift flexibility as my husband. My husband does help, he even does a broken shift now to take care of baby, but that's not even enough because he still has to work or go bk to work during the times I'm working, the 6 hour stretch he's off, he feeds baby, changes her, etc and tries to catch up on sleep. I am not even going to go into weaponized incompetence at times and I feel I would bury myself in another muddy puddle of thoughts. Finding a childcare is risky and hard, I'm scared to hire a babysitter or dont know where to start. I dont have grandparents or inlaws I can just rely on. We need the two person income, and when I try to suggest a babysitter to anyone, I get the whole " but you work from home" ( not thinking we have production trackers on our computers), or " babysitters will cost too much for 4 hours a day, 5 days a week". I thought about trying to wake up earlier for work when I'm already sleep deprived. I'm worried we try to just feed baby, put her to sleep, leaving her alone alot will mess her up, I take her for daily walks, or try tummy time to see if it would help her sleep thru the night ( being active in the day the thing that helps). I feel like a f-cking mess, I'm too tired for anything now. Someone help me, talk to me please!
