Is there some platform for confession? Can I made a confession here? I just screamed at my 2 month old boy until he jumped n stop crying for that 2 seconds n continue to cry. I'm a bad momma. I know I've scared him. Now he's cry until he fell asleep. Although it's time for his milk soon. I hate myself when I can't handle him. And I tear small surgical tape to tape his pacifier to his mouth for 30min. I cried after that.

Like my father-in-law used to say, you must understand the nature of the beast. And babies can be such beasts! But if you understand their nature, then you'd know how to handle them. Babies cry for 3 basic reasons: hunger, dirty diaper, sleepy. If your baby's crying, check if he's hungry. If he isn't, then check if he has a dirty diaper. If he doesn't, then you need to help him to sleep. I know becoming a mother can be overwhelming. But please remember that being a mother means to protect your young. So please do not put tape on your baby's mouth as this can suffocate him. Don't do anything that may harm him, and that also means emotionally. So no screaming. Like you, your baby needs to be in a supportive and loving environment. It will help him to grow up with confidence, self-esteem, and the capability to love back. As for you, mum, I think you should seek help. Not necessarily professionally - but you at least need someone to take over baby duty so you can take some time for yourself and recuperate. If husband or relatives can't help, hire a nanny. You have to take care of yourself so you can take better care of your baby. Hugs, mama. Hang in there. And stay strong for both you and your baby.
