Does your baby.....?

Question

drive you nuts lol..... I love my daughter to bits but it is just one of those days....and it's only 8:30am here in Aus. Any words of encouragement

Answer 1

lol yea we have our good days and our bad ones!

8:30 wow thats amazing to think like that! your baby is just waking up, mine is about to go to sleep in a few hours! Its 6:40 p.m here in canada :)

Answer 2

yes we all have those days! Us mothers do not get much time to ourselfs and it can be draining. Try watching a funny video or tv show. You could put bubs on the floor with her toys and chill out a bit. Have a hot drink and put your feet up.

what always helps me the most during days like that is going for a walk. Strap that baby in her pram and put on an ipod (if you have one) and go for a nice long walk. Or if the weather isnt good then go for a drive in the car. hopefully it will put baby to sleep and give you a chance to enjoy the peace.

dont be afraid to have a selfish day once in a while. i dont mean neglecting your baby but have a day where you do what you want to do and baby can tag along. Go visit a friend or something.

As mothers we spend all day focusing on bubs but somedays we have to spend a bit more time focusing on ourselves. Happy mum= happy baby.

Good luck and i hope your day starts looking up soon!

oh hun all kids drive you bananas and push your emotional buttons CONSTANTLY no matter how little thy are.  you love them with all your heart but even so you still feel overwhelmed.  All you can do is put her in a safe place and take a few minutes to get your cool back.  once its back youll forget about being upset when you see that precious face.  try playing a game with her, reading a book or singing a soothing song.  if nothing seems to help, and she is still fusy or being extremely clingy..what ever the problem may be, just keep taking those little breaks for yourself. it doesnt make you a horrible parent to feel this way or to take time out for yourself.  also try asking someone you trust to maybe babysit for a short amount of time to go shopping, get your haircut, or just something you like to do in general.  when you get back youll be excited to be with her and will have that patience back that you need.  hope this helps..ive been there done that..lol
