I have to admit I'm having a hard time. My baby will not let me put him down for even two minuites or he screams! Not cries he screams and starts coughing like choking. He won't even let Daddy hold him! He wants to stay on the boob 24/7 even sleeping. I'm so tired and I have a three and five year old. Why is it so difficult for me right now. Feeling frustrated and like I'm failing. I should be able to do this.
@hellosweetie, thank you so much for the encouragement! I hope you feel better too!💕💕
It's okay mama, it can be very hard to be a mom sometimes ESPECIALLY since you got three kids! You are doing great, and please remember this is just a phase and will pass. In the meantime, try reaching out to family and friends if you can (I never could, we live out of State) and ask if they can either help for a bit so you can have some rest or perhaps just watch the older kids for a little but so you can have some quiet time with the new one by yourself. My hubby used to work graveyards too so I know how tiring and lonesome it can be, you feel like you don't have any help like it is all on you...totally okay to feel that way! If you feel as if you are in a funk don't rule out talking to your doctor about the possibility of PPD, the sooner you catch it the better. I wish I would have tried and talked about it because now I am 11 months pp and still in a funk, and I feel like it's too late to say it is PPD...in the end, don't doubt yourself. You are doing an amazing job and keep up the good work!!!
Thank you. ❤️. I would but I can't. My husband works nights and sleeps durring the day. I tried to for just five minuites to take a quick shower. I had he baby in his little sleep n play in bathroom with me and he was crying, woke my hubby up. He got mad that I was letting him cry.
Thank you, much appreciated mama!
