My DS is 10 weeks today and im finding it really difficult and isolating. He will have meltdowns either when I try to take him out or at night when we have been out. He will go from ok to inconsolable crying in the matter of seconds. This is even after a feed, bum change, plenty of naps. Also when we’re visiting family he can become really upset really fast. I become really flustered and it feels like I dont know what I’m doing.
He will scream in a pushchair and so I am using a sling for going out and for daytime naps. He also wont go down to sleep without me and so I am going up to bed at 7pm with him (tbh I am generally asleep by 9pm with him as im exhausted). I’m struggling with the motivation to eat healthy and do my previous hobby of yoga. I no longer feel myself and feel really detached from my partner who’s life doesnt seem to have changed.
I am ebf and my son wont settle with anyone else, not even Dad. I am co-sleeping and whilst I want to do all of these things for the benefit of my son, I am feeling lost.
Im looking for a little moral support here from other mums of high needs babies, also any coping methods they use to make it through the days.
