Failing

I feel like im failing as a mum ..dont know what it is but baby number 2 is totally different to number 1 ... With baby number 2 i cant seem to settle her she doesnt sleep .doesnt drink her milk at times i feel like im loosing it .why doesnt she drink ..this baby has breast milk ..my 1st was soo good used to sleep hours used to drink her milk (formula) .. Sometimes i think the milk my 1st had helped her sleep .. Sleep regression is tough. Shes 17 weeks .. Would love some tips .. Also this baby hears everything even with white noise on i feel like she hears me breath lol

I'm sorry you're finding it tough! Every baby will be different and you're not failing! My brother and I were compete opposites too. He was a really unsettled baby and I was totally chilled. It won't be anything you've done wrong ❤️

I’ve had it the other way round! Turn that white noise up! Are you happy to introduce a dummy to settle? And maybe a bit of bed sharing so you can breastfeed side lying?

And just know we’re more tired this time round so everything feels harder. You have absolutely got this and remember this time is fleeting, it will pass. For now try to align both their naps so you can have one too. Jobs can wait (you’ll never say ten years from now, I wish I’d done the washing that day!)
