Anyone else totally exhausted and frustrated? 😞
My son is 6.5 months old and he's teething at the moment. I haven't slept through the night since he was 1-2 months old. I'm just exhausted, I feel like I could be so much of a better mother if I could get a good nights sleep. I feel like I'm failing my baby. I get frustrated with him sometimes because he's upset and fussy with the teething, sleepless nights, and all the milestones he's trying to hit. I know it's not his fault, I love him to death and I'd never yell at him or hurt him. Sometimes I just think to myself "why? I just need some peace" but then I know he won't be this little forever. I wish I could know exactly what he needed every second of the day so I could make him as comfortable as possible. I feel terrible everyday because I can't wait for nap time and bed time, but then when he's sleeping I look at him and wonder if I did enough, if I loved him enough. This past month or so has just been very exhausting, physically and mentally. Someone tell me they feel the same so I don't feel like a bad mommy. Does anyone have any advice for me on how to just relax?
