I am struggling with my mental health, my 1 year old has become a bit more challenging lately. I know it probably sounds silly because they go through phases, but I feel like I’ve been struggling for a really long time. I feel like I’m constantly mourning my old life.
I got in touch with my GP maybe 2-3 months ago for help
and haven’t heard anything. But in the meantime I thought I’d come on here for a bit of a vent as I don’t feel like I can talk to anyone about it.
He is not great with food unless it’s rubbish (bits of bread, crisps, yogurt etc). I have been weaning him since he was 6/7 months old and just can’t seem to do it. I cook him so many meals and none of them go down well. It’s starting to make me feel terrible as I don’t know how much nutrition he’s getting and how much milk to give him when he’s not eating.
He’s also always been a great sleeper, but bedtime for the past week has been such a challenge which is tipping me over the edge.
Don’t really know what I’m hoping for from this post but hoping someone can tell me it gets better and I’ll actually start to enjoy motherhood.
