Feel like a failure
Honestly, I can't help feeling like a total failure, I'm a first-time mum, and every time my LO, who is 3 months today, goes into a total meltdown, I can't help but break down myself.
I feel so emotionally and physically drained by doing all the night feeds and then having to go about our day.
Sometimes, I feel like LO is better off being with my mum as she obviously had 3 kids herself she knows what she's doing.

Girl every mom goes thru this but that’s your child not your moms
It is hard. I remember feeling like this. Sometimes I'd take him in the car or out on a walk and he would calm down. My little one is 9 months now and ut does get better and easier. I remember at 5 ish months thinking 'I'm actually enjoying this now' and we got into a routine and baby was calmer. You are doing amazing!
I feel like a failure all day every day, my kids still need me tho
Stop downing yourself and get into a more positive mental space no matter what it takes him you’re definitely not alone no matter how it feels
Every mother and parent gets to breaking points. At every stage of parenting. They’re just different kinds of meltdowns at different ages.

The 0-6 month time is the hardest. I know it's so easy to say don't be so hard on yourself but the meltdowns don't mean you're doing anything wrong. You're still learning them and their cues. Honestly parenting is a lot of trial and error. I'm on baby number 2 and still don't know what I'm doing. You're doing a great job and it could just be witching hour meltdowns which you can do nothing about. The last wake windows before bed time can be brutal if your little one meltdowns are later in the day.
