Fair play to her admitting her struggles. You can tell she tried very hard to have it all rainbows etc like Dearbhla Toale.
Hopefully she gets help from a sleep consultant and gets Harper on the right track.
It can be tough to struggle and then for someone who loves and needs her excercise for her own sake, I hope it gets easier/better for her soon.

She's had pelvis issues so assuming that would be the reason.

I can tell you now it doesn't get any easier, it just gets harder I different ways. Wait until she goes back to work 🙄
 
What does she actually work at can somebody tell me? I’m a new mam myself & I empathise with her in so many ways & really feel so sorry for her with the sleep thing but I cannot get my head around the hair/teeth/tan

Or she has been reading all the posts here about how we hate how fake she is being and used it to her advantage to get likes and sympathy 🤷‍♀️
 
Every new mum I’m sure identity’s with what she said however she’s the one who couldn’t resist prancing around weeks after birth in mini dresses and going overboard to prove to the rest of us nothing has changed for her. Motherhood is hard. A baby means you are no longer the priority. She seems to miss that point. TJ obv doing his fair share either. I’m finding it hard to give her sympathy as I sit her on allergy baby no 2 … 1st didn’t sleep through til 18mts, 2nd is currently 11mts and hasn’t slept. We do every second night. She didn’t stay in the house long enough ever with that baby to even try and establish a routine either … obsessed with f**kin steps coz ultimately she was more concerned with bounding back and sticking it to the rest of us!!

She spends far too much time out of the house, no wonder the baby is all over the place. She needs to park the 10,000+ steps for a while and concentrate on the babies nap time routine. She would see an improvement.

My OH's brother and SIL are reeping the rewards of these kinds of actions with a two and a half year old - no set sleep time, becoming overtired and acting out, fighting her sleep.

In my mam & nanny's time there was no such thing as taking them out before they're christened or before 6 weeks old. You stayed in, got a good routine and if you were patient and routine enough they'd sleep through the night at 6 weeks old. My mam did this with all 4 of us and her mam before her. I'm not sure if it's just a done thing now, and I don't mean any hate to new modern mam's by that but babies aren't meant to be pranced around the place that young. They will be out for long enough when they're toddlers and into their early years. Niamh will have to be careful because, as some of you have mentioned, it don't get easier 🙈
 
Totally agree with people above. Niamh you don’t need a sleep consultant what a load of shite and waste of money. They will tell you the same thing - consistency and routine. Good luck doing that if you are constantly out and about wanting to be seen. Put your lovely baby first. Structure the day around proper naps at home. Driving here there and everywhere is obviously not working for your baby. I don’t care what anyone says most love routine and to know what’s coming next. Do it now because omg the minute they can walk it’s a different ball game altogether 😂
 
I have to disagree with the whole stay stuck at home and get a routine

it’s important to get out and one nap cap always be a moving nap

I do however thinks it’s important to try get a decent bedtime routine and once they are past that 4-6 month stage they are much more alert and less likely to sleep anywhere and everywhere

We aren't saying to be stuck at home all the time, far from it but regards to naps with a very young baby ... you need consistency.. not constantly being out of home , baby in a car seat here and there. She never seems to be at home. That is where she is going wrong. No wonder the baby is unsettled and doesn't realise day from night . They need structure and enough melatonin in their system in order to regulate a sleep pattern. The baby is like a doll to Niamh. Niamh is constantly being dolled up every single weekend. Priorities change once a little baby comes along 🙄

Ya that’s true too
I let mine fall into their own routine but to be fair I was shook for a long time after my first and life dramatically changes , too exhausting trying to keep the pace of life pre baby . No harm in getting out for a walk everyday for fresh air
Maybe only reality is hitting her now , I honestly think babies don’t in general sleep through the night consistently until after 18 months but sleep deprivation the first time around is chronic, then with the next few u just get used to it lol

Slowing down would be good for both her n baby
 
I’m def no expert on babies as I’m a first timer but I wanted to do my best to help my little boy sleep as I’m a really bad life long sleeper myself. am militant with my routine & I still get out with him every day between naps. He has slept every night since 12/13 weeks. Just looking at Niamh in the hairdressers this morn wondering how she keeps up the pace of life with a young baby….

She's trying to keep her old life and beauty appointments and slot the baby somewhere in between those. She's a bit clueless.

"She's a bit clueless" understatement of the year right there 🤣. She needs to realize that you have to make sacrifices once a baby arrives. I think everybody agrees you still need to have your own time but Niamh seems to think she can still have her life prebaby arrival 🤦🏼‍♀️
 
She could have PND , it’s no always being at home unable to wash , can manifest in doing too much and burning out

or maybe it’s how she likes things but they get a lot less portable and more vocal as they get older
