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
