Struggling with reflux

Hi mums! I'm not sure if this is a question or I'm just in need of a bit of encouragement. I just feel so useless and feel like I'm failing as a mumma 😣. I have an 8 week old with reflux who isn't happy unless on the boob. She rarely naps during the day unless i let her sleep on the boob or the odd occasion she will sleep in her carrier for a bit. I can't get anything done 😣 my poor 6 year old doesn't get a look in 😣 the house is disgusting!! I just feel so guilty for my partner as he works so hard to come home to a cranky person, filthy house and no dinner 😣😣 how do other mums cope?

I have a 5 week old with silent reflux, I've swapped to expressing each feed and bottle feeding and I have a whole new baby. Have a chat to your maternal health nurse or paediatrician and have a chat about options :)

You're not failing and seriously, a messy house and no dinner is part of every Mum with a baby's routine!
