My DD is 8 weeks
I am really enjoying her, adore her and I am definately not depressed
However very occasionally, if she is crying a lot or very loudly and I can't settle her easily, I get very angry. Especially if I am tired.
Yesterday I shook the pram while she was in it because I just could not get her to stop crying. I shut the door and walked away to calm down for a few minutes and then I was fine again. Of course I feel very guilty
Am I the only mother who does this? Am I some kind of monster? I cannot admit this to my friends or family (although I do to my DH). My SIL admitted she once threw her baby on the bed because she cried for hours.
Is this a taboo area that should not be discussed?
This does not happen very often and I am a caring mum who adores her baby. I carry her in a sling, breastfeed and co sleep. We have a very strong bond.
