Tired of the same shit

Everyone said it would get easier, 16 weeks later and I'm still dealing with that same shit. I'm sick of my baby crying tbh. Idk how to cope anymore. My mum just says I need to go on anti depressants 🙄 I don't need anti depressants, I just need a kid that don't scream at me 75% of the time. I probably sound like an awful mother, and I probably am but I don't care anymore. I would never hurt my baby but im tired of dealing with inconsolable crying. I don't know where else to turn to. I've spoken to the health visitor, GP, and charity support groups.

Try to help her sleep.. sometimes a lot of crying means they’re really tired. I didn’t realise this at first (I thought if they’re tired they would just sleep!) but they need lots of help sleeping, both for regular naps and at night… ideally try putting the baby to sleep 1.5-2 hours max after they’ve woken up from the previous sleep x

You don’t sound like an awful mother at all. We had a very difficult afternoon yesterday. My baby wouldn’t stop crying. He was so overtired but I was struggling to get him to sleep. It made me dread today! But I’ve managed to get him to sleep more today so there’s a lot less crying! Hope you’re ok x

It can be so overwhelming! I found the napper app helped with knowing when they would get tired as we had loads of screaming overtired usually. I also found more crying with growth spurt as was suddenly much hungrier too. You're doing great x
