Don't know what to do

Sara

I've been home with my Baby girl since she was born 6-13 and it's starting to take a toll on me. I feel so trapped and cooped up in this house. It's been so hot out I can barely take her outside to enjoy nature. I've been trying to make sure she gets plenty of naps and good sleep during the day but it's so difficult. She will take half an hour to fall asleep in her swing and then she only sleeps for half an hour in it. Most of the time I have to be holding her for her to sleep any longer. She sleeps really well at night in her pack n play but daytime is totally different.

I just feel like I never have ANY time for ANYTHING besides taking care of her. And then I feel selfish for wanting some time to myself. I know, my rational brain says it's OK, it's that stupid mom brain that tells me I'm garbage for wanting to p put my baby down for an hour. How do you get anything done and still make sure they get all the sleep they need?
