How do you make any time for yourself??

It feels like all I do is look after my LO (who I of course love) and do jobs and life admin. I literally don’t feel like there’s time for anything else. I feel like I’ve lost myself 😢

I can completely relate to this. I'm either looking after the kids, sorting the house or planning things to do with the kids. So sorry but I don't really have any advice but I'm working on it. I'm trying to sort most things during the day with the kids or when they nap then having the evening to myself. Doesn't always work but I'm trying

Do you have a partner? Are you back to work? Without help it can seem impossible! I try and clean up as much as possible during morning when she is awake so during first nap I can get ready, watch a show and have coffee, then during second nap which is shorter I do more cleaning. I try and get to a gym class one evening per week, all I can manage for now, and my husband does bedtime, and nails once a month. Basically just grabbing moments whenever I can!

@CeeCee my partner isn’t home much so I can’t go out without baby. How long are your baby’s naps as mine are so short now 😟

My 10 month old does two 1 1/2 hour naps and my 3 year old does one 1 1/2 - 2 hour nap. I'm pretty lucky I think as both mine have slept well from the start on on whole.

Im sorry, thats so hard. Mine are 1.5 hours in the morning and then typically about 40 mins in afternoon

Thank you. I’m so confused about how long you should let them nap for. I read Half hour in the morning and then 2 in the afternoon!

I wouldnt wake them, I just let mine sleep and shes fallen into this rough routine. I would only wake her if it gets past 2 hours
