inpatient with baby

I feel really awful. Has anyone else been impatient with a tiny baby? Three times now I've really felt cross with dd1. I didn't do anything except say 'what do you want?' quite loudly but I feel I shouldn't lose control at all.

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

don't feel awful - you didn't lose control

i remember wanting to scream at DS when he wouldn't stop crying when he was newborn, i didn't but the temptation was so strong

the first few weeks can be hard - you are all tired and getting used to each other

be kind to yourself ... get out for a walk, a nap - do you have a partner?

What a relief! I thought people were going to say that was a terrible thing to do.

I do have a dp. He'd just taken the baby so I could sleep for a few hours [we're on a very frequent feeding schedule]. I got all worried about her having bottles. When I took over again I was trying to breast feed but she was fussing for three hours - wanting to feed and then falling asleep on the breast. all got a bit much - especially as I was just supposed to have had a nice rest. I'm sure she'll feed properly later. She did yesterday!

I had a look for the thread but can't find it.

any mother who hasnt ne it is either a saint or has a nanny/family helping a lot!!!!

I always used to say oh for gods sake what now knew it was getting a bit frequent when ds started saying it all the time.

Oh poor you, its amazing how insane someone so helpless and tiny can make you! My hubby came home from work one day I met him on the door step and told him to take DS as far away from me as he could.. he drove off with him for 3 hours and I slept cant believe how much it helped! I promise it gets better!
