Really struggling
Hi ladies
DD turns 10 weeks tomorrow, she is my first baby and sooo wanted, we tried for years to have her. I love her to bits BUT... I am finding motherhood so difficult. She sleeps like a champ at night and feeds well but is a terrible daytime napper. She seems to sleep in 45 min cycles so on the extremely rare occasions she does sleep during the day, she never goes any longer than 45 mins. I don't have any friends with similarly aged children and we don't have family here so I'm with DD pretty much 24/7 and it's just so hard. I am having a tough time with my own sleep and have had to resort to tablets which I feel terrible about but still wake up whenever DD makes the tiniest sound so I am tired and irritable and don't have the patience to deal with her during the day when she shouts (which is when she gets overtired, which is all the time). DH must be sick of coming home to find me in tears. Kind of at my wits end. Just wondered if anyone else is having a similar time? DD is screaming in her moses as I speak, I've tried leaving her to cry it out but just doesn't seem to work - she gets herself so worked up she goes purple, cries proper tears and am afraid she'll choke...
Have made myself go to a few coffee mornings just to get out of the appartment and try to meet new mums but DD is such a horror that I dread them. Always the first baby to cry, won't settle etc, etc.
