Struggling

this is so uncomfortable for me to post but I want to know if anyone feels the same way…

my baby is just over a month old and he only ever cries when he is with me, he’s fine with his dad and both sets of grandparents but he cries and cries when he’s with me..

I’ve convinced myself he hates me, is anybody else’s baby like this or does he just really not like me :(

Sweety nooo thats impossible ❤️❤️ he loves you more than all of them .. he lived in you!! He cant possibly hate you .. but i know how the comments even though it looks harmful can make you feel like that.. i dont have a word for it in english we call it بتدلع عليك
Which roughly means he spoiling himself with you.. so find words to say when he cries once you hold him when someone around and like this behavior accept it and look at him as he is the weakest with you .. he knows that you will do anything he needs but he is holding himself from any feeling till you come.. think about words in the commen situations you face so you dont have to explain it .. its hard but search for all the positivity in it❤️❤️❤️

He does not hate you! I think he feels more comfortable with you that he can cry, as strange as that sounds
He loves you and feels like he can just let go knowing you are there to hold him

I was told that babies cry more with the people they're most comfortable with as they feel safer to let any emotions out and trust you to deal with them.
I have definitely felt the way you do before but just try to remind myself of the above x

He absolutely does not hate you. Are you breastfeeding? My son is always more unsettled with me (as was my eldest) because he can smell my milk and so starts fussing and wriggling immediately. He’ll happily fall asleep on the chest of anybody else though- not a chance of that on me!

When did your LO start sleeping through the night?

My mom(step mom technically) made a somewhat rude comment about my LO's sleep. They are 16 months old and still wake up every 2 or 3 hrs throughout the night. But like usually just stirs or fussing & readjusts for a minute then goes back to sleep but I of course fully wake each time. Only 1 or 2 wakes are for a longer stretch and they need help going back to sleep. My mom asked how he's been sleeping & I said the usual, still up every 2 or 3 hours and she said "jeez I've never heard a kid that age sleeping that bad" like she was accusing me of not teaching them to sleep better by now. And I just wanted to get some validation that it's just how my kid is and wanted to know if others have kids that just sleep poorly still at 16 months?

Breastfeeding question

So I was wondering since I’m thinking about breastfeeding after giving birth what all should I look forward to and what’s everything I should get .

Autism or just age??

I want to be as sensitive as I can regarding this subject.
I have a 19 month old son, he’s walking, playing, sleeping, eating ‘normal’ however there is barely any eye contact, no waving or pointing at things, there’s no real words and even when he does say mama, dada etc he’s not saying it to get our attention so I believe he’s not understanding what the words mean!
We are very much in the tantrum period and meltdowns I can’t count how many he has a day.
My mum has out right said he has autism, which upset me as I believe this is my fault and I’ve let him down.
Does this warrant him needing to be checked and tested?

I’m sorry if this has offended anyone I just don’t know where to start or begin on what to do.

Thank you xx

Is this normal I need serious helllllllppppppp

Hi! My son is 2 years and 8 months old and he doesn’t listen to anything I say unless I would make a threat but now that doesn’t even work even if I’ve continuously followed through with the threat he will scream at me and purposely do things like this evening for example he kept on trying to throw a ball at my dinner and then succeeded and then he tipped my drink out on the floor. That’s just this evening it’s tipping me over the edge as I jus feel like nothing is fun and he’s stressing me out to the max. It seems like it’s non stop am I the only one dealing with this he will scream and not let meput him to bed or read him a story and call me rubbish feeling so deflated can anyone help or shed some light
