Is it wrong to feel like u need 3d2n off from ur bb?

My lo is now going 3mths old...she is in the phase where she cannot be away from mummy... She wans full attention frm me, even when she is asleep, once she sense im nt by her side, she will start wailing and wakes up... These few days i feel pain in my abdorminal, had emergency c-sec when giving birth... im tired..but when told my husband...he said its NOT that tiring looking aft lo... Problem is..he is onli with her 2~3hrs till he goes to bed... and doesnt wake up to feed night milk...even on his day off...he doesnt fully take care of the bb... I hope im not a bad mommy to feel like i need day off frm my bb.. #FTM

It is normal to feel that way and yes you do deserve a break! I always make a deal with my husband. Every week we both will have a day of ‘me’ time. It’s only fair. And if baby wakes up and stay up all night, I will take a few hours off in the morning for myself and let him take the baby. If he thinks it’s not tiring, then let him experience taking care of baby full day. 🙄 In the meantime, maybe can leave your worn shirt next to baby if u need to leave her while sleeping? I did that with mine! It works for a while! 😂
