Anxious when baby is awake

Am i normal to feel very anxious whenever baby is still awake after feeding (fm), even when he’s not crying? Mostly during the day. As im just waiting for him to cry unconsolable. Im a ftm, and my baby is a month old and im still not used to this whole motherhood thing, and im always extremely anxious, esp when baby is awake. And will feel like breaking down when baby cries.

sounds like you're having post partum anxiety and stress. do you have family or a confinement nanny to support you during this new period? babies cry as a way of communication, not that you are being incapable as a mother, have to remember that baby crying is just natural, not that it says anything about you and your ability to be a good mother. it will be helpful to get support (husband, family, friends, or hire a nanny/maid) so you can have time to breathe and let someone else handle baby for you while you work through your anxiety
