HELP. I’m finding my baby such hard work at the moment and it breaks my heart I feel this way about her.
From when she wakes up till when she goes to bed all she does it whinge or cry. I can’t even remember what her giggle sounds like. According to her childminder and her grandparents she isn’t like this for anyone else. In fact she’s full of smiles for everyone but me.
She doesn’t seem to enjoy anything at all. I try really hard to get a balance of taking her places or doing nice things at home or just relaxing at home but whatever it is she just whinges unless she has my phone in her hand. She doesn’t eat or drink properly which frightens me. She also had hardly any language which I think frustrates her and if she learns a word she stops saying it after a few weeks.
I don’t know what I want from this. I just feel like an awful mother and that I’m letting her down as clearly she is deeply unhappy.
