I nearly went over the edge this evening and feel ashamed and upset

DS 14 weeks has been very up and down recently although he sleeps well at night he spent all day today screaming, he is on infant gaviscon and is pooing well, so guess it was trapped wind, I think by 6 I had enough wnad came so close to doing something, instead I left him on the bed and got DH and walked away. I feel scared and angry at myself, I know most of it is tiredness, we also have a DD and run a business from home which we have done since he was 8 days. I am going to see HV tomorrow and don't know whether to say anything or if it is just a blip. I feel calmer now, I knwo I need sleep.

You're exhausted and stressed and hormonal still. You came close to losing it but you didn't - you did the completely sensible thing, walked away and got help from your DH. Don't beat yourself up about it and move on - you do sound like you need some time to yourself though. Is that practical at all? Even if it's just a trip to the cinema on your own, or a potter around the shops - might do you the world of good.

Good advice from you, Hassled. I think we have all probably felt like this at times.Speak to the HV if you feel she will be supportive.

You did the right thing! Don't beat yourself up about it. You weren't coping, so you put the baby down safely and walked away.
