Apologies for rant...

I'm feeling very irritated with baby as I don't know what she wants and she keeps crying at everything. At times I feel like throwing her away. I feel shocked at my own thoughts I have helper to help me however sometimes she also unable to handle baby and then it's back to me. I'm not sure if it is because I'm on menses or anxiety as I'm going back to work and all or is this a symptom of post partum depression. I only have such thoughts recently. So sorry for the rant. #firstbaby

Yup, post partum blues i was like that for the first few weeks. I honestly hated my life and i didn’t “love” my baby. I get very annoyed and scold the baby whenever he’s fussy or cry. Very common to feel this way. However for some reason, after few weeks, i suddenly started to grow love my baby so much. Trust me itll get better. Mainly cause we’re ftm and doesnt know the way of motherhood why baby cry what baby wants. I also realised, baby sense our feeling. When we’re stress, baby is stress too, thats why theyre more fussy and cry more. We also need to know that baby is new to this world, theyre also still adapting to the outside womb world, theyll need time to adjust. I realised baby is less fussy/crying when im not stressed and more relaxed. Trust me this is just a phase youll get the hang of it youll get thru this! Im only 7 weeks PP and still adapting

thanks for your advice dear❤️ jiayou and hang in there💪🏻@Regine @ Rubenna

When my baby about 2 months old I feel the same, don’t understand why keep crying. But I believe there’s always a reason to why. Initially I thought is colic but I read more online later I found out that he’s over tired. The symptoms between those 2 are the same they keep crying refuse to drink milk too Over tired babies tend to be very cranky. Do take note of your baby age and their wake window. Try not to pass the wake window, that helps me a lot.
