My little one is now a 1 year old. And every now and then when I haven’t slept I get a little weepy and feel a bit overwhelmed like you would when the baby is newborn. Is this normal especially after a year? Has anyone felt that up and down? I noticed it’s usually a lot more when I have had a rough night! 😔🙈

I get exactly this! I’ve been worried I’ve got PPD but I’ve realised it’s only on days when I’ve had limited sleep. They say symptoms of exhaustion and PPD are very closely linked. I get very tearful and feel very sad.

I would say parenting is exactly like that with ups and downs! This is normal and I have found the best thing you can do about it is to acknowledge the feeling - I know , easier said than done ! Keep it up and enjoy the little moments ❤️

Yes lack of sleep will do that. Mine is 21 months and happens occasionally.
