Something’s wrong with me. My LG was wailing & crying & screaming & all I did was watch. Didn’t feel like picking her up to comfort her & still don’t.. should I just turn myself in?

You’re definitely burnt out but it’s better for you to take a moment and walk away than to react just on your emotions. If you ever need someone to talk to I’m here 💚

No, I agree with above you’re burnt out, maybe PPD? You need rest or support, maybe some type of therapy but you don’t need CPS 💜

Id suggest therapy asap. I definitely don't think CPS is needed. It really depends on how long and how often this happens in my opinion. But I do believe that this could worsen and get out of control quick if its not addressed. Especially if you don't have support at home.

Sounds like your system shut down. Therapy or inpatient ASAP depending on the severity of it

Sounds like PPD , call your doctor and get some support. ♥️

Look, I learned this from a therapist. You talking about it already shows you care. Your burnt out, crying doesn’t hurt the baby as long as baby ate and has a changed diaper. If the baby is in bassinet than it’s okay he/she is probably sleepy and your probably over exhausted or maybe you’ve noticed when she/he cries for a little then stops.

You need a couple days to yourself without the baby, if not possible then a few hours a day to yourself to just chill. Maybe look into therapy.
Also it’s normal to feel frustrated, we all do sometimes even to the point where later you’re like gosh that was a lot of reaction over such a small thing. The important thing is to do something about that feeling NOW!
If baby is safe but crying it’s okay to take a moment to walk outside for breather, baby won’t be harmed from a minute or 2 of crying.
Exhaustion is real and there are no super mums, get help today!!
Hey mummies and daddies, has anybody got experience with baby not getting used to nursery? My daughter started at 12 months (a month ago) and still has a meltdown every time we drop her off. How long until it settles? I worry that she’s just not happy there :(

Gave birth 3 days ago, very traumatic. Lost a lot of blood, didn’t get induced as planned.
Girl is very sensitive to startle reflux, we have had 1.24 hours sleep last night as she won’t settle in her next to me crib.
We have tried swaddling which didn’t work and a grow bag. She is doing it every 30 seconds and scares herself. Bottled fed as BF for the first 2 days after birth but I cannot continue. Does anyone have any solutions?

Hate to be this person as I see so many babies/mamas on here being affected by this sleep regression but my baby is 20 weeks on Thursday and so far, we haven’t really struggled with nighttime sleep, she sleeps through and has done since 10 weeks. We are only really struggling with daytime naps (being super short). Has the nighttime sleep regression been delayed for any one else? Or have I just got really lucky?

Not sure whether anyone’s in the same boat, but I’m on about week 5 of sleep regression! LO is 4.5 months, his daytime naps are mostly ok, he’s sleeping from around 7:30/8pm until midnight/1am ish, then from 2ish he’s up every hour? Not seeking feeds just cuddling and rocking back to sleep.
He woke up at 5am for an hour and a half this morning, then slept 6:30-7:30, now seems to want a nap again? I follow his cues and he sleeps/ naps on demand. We have a bedtime routine of bath, story and feed.
He’s exclusively breastfed and we’re co sleeping for now to get through this rough patch (he is completely rejecting his NTM crib).
I know that they struggle to tie their sleep cycles together esp early hours of the morning, so it makes sense as to why this is happening but I guess I’m just looking for some advice (I mention it to family but just get the typical “try formula and putting him in his crib, try a higher tog sleeping bag he might be cold”. ) We have tried one bottle of formula before, it didn’t work and tbh I don’t want to give him formula yet!
Thankyou!!
