Really regret having a baby

I am so unhappy. My baby doesn’t sleep, won’t be put down, but perversely won’t even be cuddled, and I’m completely and utterly done in and have tried absolutely everything. There is no support at all due to covid and I’m utterly miserable and so is my poor baby.

Hi Notthebestday,

We're so sorry you're going through such a difficult time.

We can see you're getting lots of good advice and support on this thread but we just wanted to add a few more links to organisations which may be able to give you some support in real life.

First of all, here's a link to our Mental Health resources. There are lots of organisations listed which can give you some extra support.

You can also go to the Samaritans website, or email them on [email protected], or call them, any time, on 116 123.

Your baby is still very young and you may well be experiencing postnatal depression, so we'd urge you to take a look at an organisation called PANDAS Foundation which was set up to support families through PND & AND. Their webpage is here and they have a free helpline, available Monday – Sunday 11am-10pm - 0808 1961 776. Please take a look at their website and consider giving them a call - we know they've helped many Mumsnetters in the past.

We'd also urge you to take a look at the cry-sis website. Their helpline number is 08451 228 669 and their lines are open 7 days a week 9am-10pm.

Sending good wishes from all at MNHQ. We really hope things start to get a bit easier for you soon. Flowers
