I love my baby but I don't really want to be home alone with her. I don't feel like I can't cope with her - although the feeding/napping is monotonous - it's more the feeling of being bored and wanting someone else to be there. I just feel a bit low when I am just at home alone. I do also feel like after I've had a break, I appreciate her more.
I dread the 5-6 pm period not as she is fussy but because I know the evening and the night feeds are coming, and love Fridays even more as DH can then help with the late nights. For example, tomorrow I have no plans with friends so I'm going to my mum's so I'm not alone at home with her and I get to be around my family & take a break.
Is this normal? Or does it sound like a mild form of PND?
