Thread: I don't know why I feel like this

oh sweety i know exactly how you feel. it is a part of postpartum depression. i had it really bad. my baby is 18 months old now but boy when she was born i was a mess. you just gotta try anything you can. give the baby some mylecon for his tummy and maybe change the formula to sensitive if it is his tummy. he will cry and you will want to kill yourself but it will all be ok...trust me. it does get better. just get some fresh air and try to have people help you out with him. talk to your husband and get things off your chest. my mother was never around so i never really had a whole lot of help. i went to the doctor and got medication cuz i really felt like killing myself. get some anxiety medicine and you will feel better. dont worry the baby gets older each day that passes. good luck

My cousin had this problem with his baby daughter. Once a day we would give her some mint tea in a bottle and it seemed to calm her.

Its okay to feel sad, angry, crazy. I also believe its okay to feel guilty because thats what will keep you in check. Dont give your baby anything that isnt breastmilk or formula unless your doctor okays it. Its all a frame of mind as well. just remember they arent trying to upset you they dont know whats going on or how to fix it. they need you they need your love and you need them and their love as well. A baby carrier for a grumpy baby can be awsome as well as a vibrating bouncy chair it helps upset tummys. under your supervision only you could try laying baby on tummy for a little bit. it helped my first two kids. My third baby i didnt lay on tummy till she was a little older cause she was very delicate. use your own judgment on that.
