Hello @BHgirl it's so early in the morning I just can't cope with the crying I tried everything I'm not going with baby's and kids I am having a autism meltdown I am crying myself I feel like I am not good enough for the kids but there's no one else to look after them my brother and his partner are in the hospital and I don't know for how long as she's not well I feel so stuck again I am so sorry it's early

I'm listening to my music with headphones I am trying to calm myself down @BHgirl I just feel like it's all too much I don't really understand kids any advice would be great if you or anyone have any I have never looked after baby's I don't know what I am doing I have no idea what I am supposed to do it never sleeps it's always crying am I doing something wrong? Is it me? Is it Because I am autism I don't know sorry if I woke you up

Its not you. Some babies don't sleep well. Maybe try https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/serviceprofiles/parentline-service or https://panda.org.au/contact

But some of the moms on here will be waking up soon and will be able to offer more parenting advice. Just hold tight until people start waking up.

@Sunnyside226 Hey that is huge that you are looking after more than one child for your brother. Hope you got through. I just logged on. A bit depends on the age of the baby how to manage it. Bubs might sense that things are wrong (which they are, missing both parents etc) and just be crying because of that, which is true, but it may not be anything due to you. He or she may pick up your feelings of insecurity about caring for bubs, but you cant really do much about that, but do your best to calm them and calm yourself. People often walk the baby in a pram or take them for a drive, but that can tricky to manage around the other kids needs. I had to deal with bubs and kids when I had heaps going on and it is VERY DIFFICULT.

Bottom line... feed and change nappy when dirty, check for burps and gas. Sometimes giving a bath can be a great soothing distraction. It all depends on what they are used to. Taking them all to a close play ground, might give the older ones some sense of care at their age level, so they are happy while you look after littly. My grandmother had 9. How they coped is beyond me. Go gently with yourself, as you go gently with them.

Cooee

Warm regards
