Guilty mum

Yesterday i just yelled at my 4 month old baby.. He was so cranky and clingy and I'm currently working from home.. i can't work when I've to keep carrying him.. he keeps screaming and crying that it makes me so frustrated and i yelled at him.. i know yelling at him makes things worst as he cried even worst.. but i really lost control.. thinking back I felt guilty as he was just a baby.. i could have be more patience with him.. just wanted to ask if the yelling could have traumatised him or affect any of his mental development? I really felt very bad about the whole thing..

I’m not sure about will it impact his mental development but yes it happens… same situation, but what I did is to talk firmly to my baby and let the baby know the current situation, if it doesn’t work and before I lost control…. I will put the baby in a safe spot and get out of the room and scream in the toilet for that 3-5 sec and dashed back. U might feel better…
