One solution to your problem is to start wearing her in a sling or wrap. Carriers that allow you to wear her on your back are especially great for getting work done. She'll be happy because she's right next to you and you have your hands free. It takes a bit of practice, but visit the links below to find moms in your area who can show you the ropes. Many carriers can be bought used over the internet or made yourself, so don't let cost deter you.

Good luck!

Let me began by saying that I think that children are a gift from God. You did not mention how old you are. I guess that is unimportant. You know, some times God sends us blessings in disquise, we just have to look for them. Prehap you could use your baby as an inspriation. Write down things that he or she does and your thoughts about them. Who knows, someday your thoughts may become a childrens book. Or maybe you could write abuot your experience as a young mother. It may be a help to another young mother. Sometimes, especially with the frist child we all tend to spoil them and then after they reach the age as yours has we tend to not pay them as much attention as before and therefore we are baffled at it. another thing, a baby can scence whenever a mother is upset or confused, therefore it takes on the same feelings. We must learn to control our own feelings and not give the baby bad vibs. It doesn't hurt to let a baby cry,but don't let it cry to long. You must be the leader no the baby.

A six month old should not keep you from writing, or from anything you want to do. Check the baby's needs, food and health, diapers, etc. If everything is normal, you might be worrying too much about not being a good mother. If the baby just cries alot, it won't hurt him to cry. Picking him up every time, or fussing over him can teach him to cry more. The baby should be a joy, not a burden, but they learn very quickly to demand your attention. You might try ignoring him, put on some soothing music and let him (her) cry himself out. Just keep an eye on him without letting him know, just to be on the alert

She's 6 months old, would you like for her to do everything? Not trying to be rude, but she is a child, so, really I dont see how or why she wont let you write, at this age she should still be taking atleast 2 naps a day, You will eventually ge a pattern down that benefits everyone

kids do really well on a routine. Stick with it and things will be much easier as she get older (like bedtime!)
If she takes two naps a day, pick one naptime to write and one to do your housework. You should be able to get some housework done while she is awake too though, you don't need to hold her every second of the day. She will be perfectly fine laying on a big blanket in the living room, while you dust the room, or she can sit in a bouncy seat or swing while you fold laundry.
Good luck and keep at it!

As soon as you get on a schedule, her needs will change again! I think it would be almost impossible to write while taking cae of a baby.

Maybe you could try to do your busy work during the day (dishes, laundry, etc) and set aside a block of time for writing at night when you know she will stay asleep fo a while.

Or hire someone. Especially if you stay at home, you could hire a younger girl to watch your daughter for not too much money.

It's easier to work around their schedules. Six months is still pretty young, and they are fairly demanding at that age. You could choose one nap each day for your writing. When she sleeps, you should rest or catch up on your housework, but instead... pick one of the naps to do your writing and let everything else go.
