Please don't judge me , I need help. I'm usually such a placid person.
Dd 6mths is sleeping really badly and naps have gone out of the window, but feeding is now also difficult with low supply following illness.
All her crying around feeding and sleep is making me so stressed and this is turning to anger, particularly at bedtime and in the middle of the night when I'm so tired.
I find myself waking hearing her and thinking grrr for f sake! and once or twice shouted aaargh when she is writhing and screaming in my arms, but last night I shouted 'you fing bitch' during her impossible bedtime feed . I know this is completely unacceptable and I put her in her cot and ran and cried.
I usually calm down really quickly, although the calm doesn't always last long, but by then I have the sanity to get DH involved if I need support (he's great).
So, any suggestions about what to do to change?
Should I sleep train?
Should I do some kind of anger course?
I know I need to recognise it coming and hand off to DH before I get bad, but sometimes it seems to come on so fast I don't realise.
