Finding been a mum to an 11 month old really hard!!

[Ogc12345]

I have an 11 month old girl who I love so much but I honestly never thought I would find been a mum this hard , I constantly feel stressed out , constantly feel like I just want to burst into tears and just can’t keep up with anything I need to do. I can never get anything done because she is constantly whining, she always seems to be poorly which is added extra stress / anxiety constantly, she won’t eat anything ever so every meal time is just stressful. I don’t get hardly any help off my partner I get most of my help from my mum and sometimes I have to just ask my mum if she will have her over night just to give me a break but then I start to have mum guilt!

Sorry for the big rant but does it ever get easier? Because I feel like it’s not got any easier In 11 month?

I feel like it must or no one would ever do it again, right?!

For me, it did and I did. My DS is 11 months and into everything so I can sympathise with how you feel. I dropped standards tbh. I'm still stressed at points and don't get loads done but they do get better at entertaining themselves and you get a bit more time incrementally.

Hope it gets better for you soon but if you feel like it's too hard maybe an appt at the GP to chat would be helpful. Sometimes it's the hormones out of whack.

I posted something similar recently because 11 months is hard!! Im finding this stage tough because they are on the move but not properly, they get frustrated and seem to cry a lot more. I don’t have any advice, sorry, but from speaking to other mums it is definitely an 11 month thing! Apparently when they can walk/talk it gets better x

You will be fine...find what she likes ..my second girl was very fussy liked blueberries and cucumber and I had to allow her dad to feed her now she's a total foodie and is an artisan Baker..you are so fortunate to have your mum...you are not alone at being overwhelmed we all are..and you don't need to be perfect or understand everything..relax enjoy your crazy time with her..it's not about standards just love her and challenge her x
