Overwhelmed- how do you cope

That is completely okay ,as long as he is safe it's okay to put your child down and walk away for a few minutes I know I did
I wld hyperventilate
And start crying Id just sit on the floor and try to breathe ,or I'd give him to someone else ( if you can like your mum/ husban etc)
My son is now 6 and I still don't cope
But now he has sleeps overs at grandmothers which is a big help I get Saturday night off to breathe sleep in and catch up on things
When you do if you do get time to your self try going for a short walk...read maybe ..meditation..maybe ........just something
To clear your head

Remember it is okay
And you are doing the best you can
The early days are the worse, it gets easier
Kinda 🤣
Being a mum is a full time ,highly stressful
And still over whelming
Just stay strong 💪

I get out! Everything feels better when out in the fresh air (preferably somewhere quiet!). I find it hard to get the motivation to leave the house on those days but my kids are always happier at the park/in the forest/woods which causes less overwhelm for me!
Also stop beating yourself up about putting your child in a pen. If they are happily playing then they're happy! And independent play is great for their development! X
