Try to set routine for eating(milk during infant stage) and sleeping(include napping) it is much more easier for LO to cope and you to handle too, overtired and over stimulated baby can be very grouchy and difficult to comfort or even put to sleep after that.

Me 🙋‍♀️ I have 3 yo and 9 mo baby. No helper. No parent or in law to help. I'm working and some days I can work from home. Sending both kids to infant and childcare when go to work. Hubby is working and studying.

Me.... SAHM till baby 8 months and went into infant care. But even before or after school I will be the one to care for my kid. So it’s mostly solo parenting with cooking, cleaning, laundry chores and caring for kid.

I am taking care my girl(now 21 months) all by myself... Can be very tiring because all day non stop actions but watching her growing up happily, happily and unlocking every milestones are just priceless..

It’s tougher during newborn because baby need to drink more, pee and poo more too hehe also will be clingy during infant stage. My girl was direct latch, sometimes latch till I dozed off.. My girl was very very clingy too, I just put the house chores aside and stay with her, to make her feel safe and secure during the infant stage. I usually does housework during the night. As for laundry I will throw in the washing machine then keep her company to nap, then sneak out to hand the clothes later. When she knows how to crawl and walk, she is a free roaming but will make sure she will always in my sight and tell her not to step into the kitchen, initially she will cry but after that she understand and will stand outside the door and wait. Coz she doesn’t like to be confined in the playpen.. 😅 Now she is 21 month, can play and read by herself when I am busy cooking or doing house chores but still need me to stay by her side till she fall asleep.. after that either I will have some rest t

me. Wit a 2years old and 4month old its super tiring. Worse still my 2year old has dropped nap. Occasionaly i go over to my mums but other then tat no helps from anyone

Ive been taking care of my 9 week old myself since my confinement lady left. Exhausting but it's all worth it. He'll be going into infantcare when he's 13 weeks old.

Looked after my infant for 18months by myself before he goes to CC. It’s tough but worth it
