I got a sudden urge when I'm angry that I hurt my baby then I cry cause I know its not his fault. Please any advice to stop myself for this. Poor baby. I get angry/stressed out when he doesn't want to sleep/ I can't do house chores. 10 months postpartum. :(

Hello, You know it perhaps happen with most of women. Well! By saying this I do not mean that it is right. I myself remember once slapping my daughter when she was hardly one and half year old. She started crying for no reason and I just do not know I was not able to bear her cries and I got up and slapped her twice or may be thrice on her cheek. She got really scared and sobbed to sleep when I later took her in my arms. Now, she is 6 year old, and the guilt of slapping the little baby back then for no fault of hers, still haunts me. I suggest, try to be clam. Since, you know that you loose your patience, you either leave that room and let the baby cry for a while. It would not matter. Go to the bathroom, calm yourself down and come re-energised to handle the baby. Make yourself a cup of coffee. Leave all household chores and just be with the baby. We get stressed because there are so many things we give importance to or so many things of day to day are lined up, and we have to finish them all along with taking care of the child. SO, when the baby throws tantrums, do not still continue to multi-task. Leave whatever you re doing. If you will not wash dishes for the day or the house is not cleaned at a scheduled time, Earth will not shatter. So, take things easy. Slow down your pace. Remember, these days with your baby are not going to come back. Cherish them. https://sittingonthebaby.com/2012/04/21/when-a-crying-baby-makes-you-so-angry-you-might-hurt-them/ https://childdevelopmentinfo.com/how-to-be-a-parent/angry_child/
