My wee boy is 10 weeks old.
I shouted at my husband this evening in front of the baby and am now really worried I scared the baby 😢
I am breastfeeding with the occasional formula top up. I’ve had various issues with breastfeeding as my son had a tongue tie which was cut a few weeks ago. I have just started to feel like breastfeeding is getting a lot easier but yesterday he fussed all day, kicking his legs and squirming no matter whether on the breast or from a bottle. This really stresses me out as I don’t know why he’s doing it.
Anyway long story short ended up arguing with my husband (I felt he should have been stepping in to try and help me a bit more) and really shouting and then crying while baby bawled. Baby is fussy in the evening anyway and was possibly tired and was crying and crying and then I shouted like that.
I really wish I was a confident breezy type of mum but no I am a useless stressed mum.
Feel like I am never going to get to the point where breastfeeding is easy for me. It goes well for a few days and then we have a fussy day and I just feel it makes it difficult for me to feed in public as it’s hard to know if baby is going to feed calmly or not. I am the only one out of my antenatal group struggling to feed in front of others and having thus fussing and I feel like shit.
I feel like I don’t deserve this gorgeous little boy and that I’ve been horrible to my husband who is trying to be supportive but sometimes doesn’t know what I need.
