How to cope without support as a single mum
My little one is currently 7 weeks old and I'm struggling a bit.
When I had my older kids who are all teenagers now I had my mum and sisters for support. These days my mum has health issues and my sisters are all working full time so I don't have the support network that I used to have.
I'm struggling a bit ATM because my little one has more unsettled days then settled days which makes it difficult to get things done. My house is a pigsty and I have heaps of unpacking to do.
How do others manage to get things done when their bub is unsettled?

@Roberta I don't have a sling and wouldn't know where to get one or how to put it on
Facebook marketplace is a good place to find baby carriers cheap
I got a baby carrier off market place and omfg it was a God send I was able to get so much done.
I do have a carrier but I can't find it in the mess
Sorry I meant baby carrier when I say a sling
@Roberta that's okay, I do have one but I can't find it amongst the mess and unpacked boxes
You in the U.K.? Order a second hand one from Vinted or from Amazon (which gives you 30 days to find it and send it back if you don’t need it)
@Roberta no, I'm in Australia

I’d recommended baby wearing. Put LO is a baby sling and go about what you need to do.
