Hi all, I'm Andy, I'm 50, husband to Lucie and proud father to Grace (4.5 years) and Seth (9 weeks). I'm also very tired, Seth is vocal when hungry and he's hungry a lot :-). My memory must be fading with age as well because I can't remember being this tired last time and I'm sure Grace wasn't hungry this often. I had also forgotten just how much of a nightmare those first few poo's were 😮
I'm also soon to be redundant at work so for a short while, hopefully, I'll have lots of extra time to act like a gibbering fool for the kids, honest I do it for the kids! :whistle:
Oh, and we live near Sheffield 😀
Hi Andy and welcome to the Forum 🙂
Congratulations on the new baby boy! I'm sure once he gets into a routine things will settle. Some babies are just hungry, my son was the same and I ended up supplementing his bottles with baby rice from the age of about 4 weeks! My daughters little boy wasnt satisfied either and she also started him on baby rice....it seems to do the trick! Try catching naps where you can too, if your little girl allows! 🙂
Hi Andy,
Welcome to the forum, I bet your shattered, as NJ says try and nap where you can, I guess when you aren't working that will be easier though.

Hi Andy,
