I love my lo!! but sometimes I feel that I am trapped & couldn't wait to escape from him.. he doesn't sleep much during the day (15-30mins), and I have to guard around him to coax him back to sleep.. is it normal to feel this way? I am feel so guilty, and convince that I'm lacking maternal instinct,, feeling lousy as a mother m..

Hey mummy! It is definitely normal to want a breather... although you have now become a "mother", you are still you.. it is only natural that you need a break and try to focus a little on yourself. I'm sure you have been an awesome mother, attending to your child's needs and always being there for him. See if you can get someone to help take care of him for a couple of hours and have a date with yourself (or even just to have a good nap). Sometimes, a little time away can do wonders. Take care and hang in there!!
