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.

I was like you after my confinement lady left. Husband was working and my maid was new and giving me a lot of problems. Although my little one is my second child, she is not easy to take care of and often cries a lot and I just couldnt take it anymore and I shouted at her not only once but each time when I couldn't stop her crying. I am also exclusive pump mum and was totally exhausted physically and mentally then. But it's important that we are aware of our feelings, emotions and guilt. Self awareness will make things better. I hv learnt to embrace things as it is, even if it doesn't go as planned. I also seek help Online joining 2017 mummy's Facebook and breastfeeding Facebook for support. Can rely on formula milk if that gives u sanity. Perhaps, u can try too and also talk to friends. Let out your emotions. My baby needs me to carry her most of the time and I eventually gave in to auto yao Lan for her to sleep in and I play white noise YouTube on lullaby that I found online. Things are better for me and her now. She doesn't cry so often and for Long periods of time. And I believe things would be better for u and baby too as baby grows. Jiayou mummy!

I was the same for both kids when they born. raughly when they were 1mth plus to 2 mths plus i shouted when i got so tired my mum wld help me sometime when i go to sleep in the day time but yet she's abit old now i dun depend on her most of the time. I called my SIL from other country to come over to help me i paid for all her tixs n expenses but that didnt really work too as i used to tell her many times u sleep in the day n i sleep in the night so if LO wakes up u take care of him at night she cld really understand n was also a deep sleeper then me. so i was taking care day n night time all by myself...
