2.5y/o and 3 month old here. We’ve had really difficult weekends with our 3 month old - showing hunger cues but not wanting to eat, crying, overtired etc - and I realized this only happens on the weekends…when my toddler is home from daycare.

During the week baby and I chill pretty hard. The house is quiet - we nap, eat, play, repeat based on his needs. He has pretty high day time sleep needs and that’s fine by me.

Weekends are noisy, busy, active, etc. and impossible to go sit in a sark, quiet nursery to calm and overstimulated baby for an hour.

Makes me feel guilty that he doesn’t get what he needs on the weekends but also…we have a toddler and weekends are our time together as a family.

Would love to hear from others. Not necessarily looking for advice - I know I can try more carrier naps and that this is all temporary - but I’d love to just hear from other parents who are managing this dynamic and feel some solidarity 🙂

I know finding the right carrier is a personal and different journey for everyone but wondering if anyone found a carrier their baby (and they) liked that had a similar feel to a ring sling?

A front carry (don’t know the correct term but just mean not hip carry) ring sling is the only baby wearing that my baby finds comfortable but im looking for a more secure carrier option and overwhelmed by the options.
