Please say I’m not alone. I can’t cope anymore

I have a 4 month old who is recently so sensitive to any single noise. Even if people laugh too loud he screams the house down. Any noise is just too much.

He’s also randomly been inconsolable all day whilst at my mum’s house. So much so I couldn’t even get him in the car seat to leave because he couldn’t breathe due to crying THAT much. He is teething but I have never experienced anything like this in my life. Everything is a struggle.

It’s so unlike him. His temperature is fine and I can’t see anything obvious. Don’t know what to do.

Yep 4 months has been the biggest challenge so far. Anything will set off my baby into hysterical crying 😢

4 months is the peak of slight inconveniences causing massive meltdown they’re just feeling so many emotions at once I always say😭 my 4 month old won’t sleep if there’s any kind of noise and we just dealt with 20mins of screaming because he was so overtired from barely sleeping today!

It could be the little ones teeth hurting them, sorry if this is silly if you’ve already tried it but have you tried teething powder/gel to see if that helps?

Postpartum headache

I’m currently 16 days pp from a c section and I constantly have a headache. I’ve had it since around day 5. Did anyone else have this experience and how long did it last? It’s the one thing getting me down!

First period after birth

Hi, any EBF mamas here - when did you get your first period back after giving birth? I am currently 4.5 months PP and haven’t gotten mine back yet, I know if you’re breastfeeding it normally takes a while to get it back but just curious to know how long it took others!

Rolling around

Help! My son is a little over nine months old and changing his diaper and putting clothes on him is an absolute nightmare. Anybody have any suggestions to help me not lose my sanity with changing and dressing my little alligator at this point?
I’ve tried singing and toy distraction and at this point it doesn’t work anymore. Lol.

We’re two weeks into this new chapter 💗

Would love to hear how you manage a newborn and a toddler, especially when you’re on your own with both. Any tips or little things that have helped you would be so appreciated! 🫶🏼💕

Mil stupid opinions

My Mil is visiting every other Saturday , stays for an hour or so to see my baby , never asks if i need any help or support knowing that i am struggling with taking care of baby, cleaning and cooking, doing my masters degree and also studying for my driving theory test. Yesterday she started asking me questions about when I am going to start sleep training cause she thinks my baby needs to learn how to be more independent (we cosleep). It really pisses me off that i have no help from her whatsoever but she dares to give me sarcastic advices even if this doesn’t impact her at all. She s saying that her kids used to rock themselves to sleep and was very adamant from the beginning that newborn are able to self sooth , making comments about me wearing the carrier to often , or the fact that i rock the baby to sleep. When i was pregnant she used to say that she will be here all the time to help me out cause my baby is her only grandchild, the only help i have ever received was a roast dinner the day i came back from the hospital after a c section. She was against me having an elective c section because she would not be able to be in the room when the baby was born , getting upset and talking behind my back to the whole family about the fact that i dont know what a c section implies( i recovered very quickly and it was the best decision ever).
Long story short, i am european and she is english, i know there are so many differences in our culture but it just pisses me off so much to the point where i absolutely hate having her around. Worst part is that i can t say anything because my partner loves her to death, obviously being his mom and also my family is not around and they are all i have. She knows i m dealing with postpartum depression, she knows i am feeling really lonely and i can t drive atm , but she just never seems to care or makes a little effort to make my life easier. Asking for advice, i am feeling really down atm and i feel like i started holding a grudge
