Gosh, of course you are finding it hard....it is all so new. Definitely the online groceries are a must, I did that until DS2 was 4 months, it did take that stress away - and it is a big stress if you have to take all of them shopping. What else can you do to make it easier on yourself - anyway you could get a cleaner in - even once a fortnight to do the bathrooms, vacuum and washing floors / ironing/folding washing....stick with the carrying/co-sleeping if that is making it easier for you and you are getting more sleep....it will get easier when she just gets a little bit older. Do you have access to Aussie Dairy Farmers to deliver milk/bread so at least you have that and don't run out at inconvenient times?
Thanks ladies. I don't know weather to get DD3 checked for reflex, she screams for what seems like hours mainly from 6-7pm onwards. Not too bad during the day but I am holding her, or have her in the carrier or rocker. I don't think I have pnd, I only have days when I want to sit down and cry every now and then, not often. I'm dreading DH going back to work soon cause we are only just getting things done with two of us. I hope it gets easier. Thanks again
We are in the same position as traveller, with almost 8month twins we went from 2 to 4.....don't stress or worry about getting out too much...you have a NEWBORN....this time is hard to get out whether you have 1,2,4 or 10 children!! I'm sure if you think back it was also hard when you had 2 and your second was only 4weeks old too...I FREAKED out multiple times when DH was going back to work and really wondered how I would do it but just givew yourself some time..it get s way ewasier and yes some moments i really wish it were a kindy day lol and other days I'm fine!! I don't often go out with all four..not by myself.,.i take them on play dates etc but even though there it's with mums with kids of their own a lot of the time, at least there is another set of hands and as far as the shops by myself with all 4 NO WAY! My older 2 r in kindy 3days a week which is sooo helpdful because i'm a student midwife so I study around our babies. I agree with online shopping...more than worth the delivery fee and if you don't already maybe look into some childcare..honestly it doesn't make it a bad mum, kids love it and if its good for you it's good for your kids!!! I've loved having some mummy and baby time too, it's like havinf the freedom of one baby with the benefit of experience!!
