Constantly crying baby 24/7

[Redaa23x]

I am a single mam with support off my parents, my 7 month old constantly cries indoors nd outdoors even screams in the morning to be carried he always wants to be carried and be stood up if I sit down he cry’s, but I want to be a full time mam, becoming a mother is the best feeling I love my baby but I suffered a lot during my pregnancy and I think is caused my postpartum d worse I’m not in rage with my child or the crying, I get so in rage with myself and being overstimulated I can hearing the ringing everyday and is not fair for my child to sense it or witness, iv never been like this iv always been a calm and collected person but now my emotions take over I am not myself, I get overwhelmed with everything I’m so anxious every time my child open his eyes Im always on the edge and stressed all I want is to be a better mother for my boy I know he’s not the problem I am, my parents his grandparents are mostly taking over bc of my state wondering if anyone has got any advice

Oh OP, it's so so hard when they are like this.

Does anything make a difference to the crying? For example, does it ease off after theyve had calpol? Could they be in pain? Is it teething or has it been constant?

Have you spoken to your HV or GP about how you are feeling? They are usually good at knowing about local support available.

Have you also heard of this charity? https://www.cry-sis.org.uk/ They have a helpline for parents of crying babies. They might have some suggestions as well.

There is also a lady i follow on insta called Dr Boyd who posts about postpartum rage. I felt it and i also think it's not as widely spoken about. Some of her posts might be useful.

I really do sympathise @Redaa23x. My first cried a lot and it turned out that they had undiagnosed Tongue Tie.

I agree with talking to your HV about how you’re feeling, you seem really down on yourself.

Have a think about calling the Pandas Foundation this weekend too and talking through how you’re feeling
