I can’t go out

First day without daddy. I was supposed to go to a group at 1030. Little one wouldn’t settle after being dressed. So just ended up cuddling to sleep. Not even made it downstairs. We have an appointment at 3.20 I’m dreading it. I just can’t seem to manage anything. I feel such a failure

It will get easier, don't worry 😊 the more you force yourself to go out and do stuff the more confident you will become with it! I've not long had my second and now I'm going through the same issue of finding it hard to do anything with both a 2 year old and a newborn!

Oh I was the same! It was dramatic but the more I did it the better it became! You just have to accept that some outings will be more difficult but you'll manage to get it all done 😊

Oh it won’t always be like this, cut yourself some slack. Do you have a sling? I remember feeling like I got my hands back when I tried one! Found it so much easier to get stuff sorted and baby was happy enough in there. Also it will get easier the more you do but don’t feel like you have to do loads every single day. One outing can be enough to focus on in the early days. And sometimes just having a cuddle or letting them sleep or whatever is the best thing you can do. Hope you get on ok this afternoon 😊

I didn't start taking my son to groups until around 4mths because it was just impossible to get out at certain times depending on his mood and feeds etc. I just went to my mums, went for walks, out for lunch but at like 2pm 😆 mornings just seemed impossible tbh for a while. You need to get yourself into a nice routine of when baby goes down so you can get ready, feeds etc before heading out, I used to sort change bag out and his clothes for next day the night before etc. Just try and relax and I promise it will just fall into place
