Y’all, I love him. I love my son so much, but I can’t get anything accomplished. My husband and I both work from home, so we haven’t put him in daycare due to Covid. We just keep him at home.

My daughter didn’t like to be held too often. She was content with quick snuggles here and there. My son is totally different.

What I’m struggling with is getting things accomplished. Luckily, my job is on flex time, so I can work throughout the day. But, when I try to clean the house, take a shower, make dinner, etc., he screams.

He’s 3 months old, and I give him lots of snuggles. He sleeps in a bassinet beside my bed, so he’s right there by me. I have a tummy time mat and a swing in my office area so he’s close. I try to move the swing from room to room if I’m cleaning or something where I’m moving a lot.

I’ve worn him in a carrier, but it’s hard to clean/work/cook with one on.

I’ve put him in the swing, and as soon as i leave the room or am out of sight, he starts crying. I haven’t let him cry more than 5 minutes before going to get him.

I’m feeling really overwhelmed. Any advice?
