My baby doesn’t want me

My baby sleeps a lot during the day. He doesn’t cry that much. But during night time he cries A lot. Most days I’m able to let him sleep without any cries throughout the night. But today he didn’t stop screaming even when I try to comfort him. My mother in law criticises me a lot and so does her daughter. They’ll tell me obvious things and makes me feel I’m not good enough or I don’t know my baby well. She takes him away and tries to prove her point when my baby doesn’t cry. And makes me feel like I don’t know what I’m doing. I don’t sleep at night just so I can make sure he’s absolutely comfortable and don’t need to scream. But at the end of the day this happens. I’m starting to believe my baby doesn’t like me and doesn’t want me. And their words aren’t helping me mentally and I feel broken. it’s just one day out of a week he gets cranky and they’ll make me feel useless as a mother and my baby doesn’t cry when he’s with her. Maybe my baby really doesn’t want me.

Hey dear, first of all, you know your baby the best and nobody can do better than a mother. So do not think this way at all. A mother knows what best for the baby. Regarding crying in a night, it can be for various reason, may be baby is hungry, may be he peed, or this can be boz of colic, or wet diapers or clothes or may be it's hot. Check of these signs and when it's always better to have a sleep cycle. Dim the lights when the baby is sleeping, you can also play a quite song in the background. Do not worry, it's very common. You are the best mother for your baby. Congratulations mummy :)
