Bad mom?

Question

I feel like such a bad mom. My baby boy is 1 month and tonight I had a beer with my husband to relax since I've been so tired and haven't slept good since I was 7 months pregnant. My baby was awake from 7 pm till now, 12 am he was being kind of fuzzy and I started crying because he wouldn't sleep and I'm just so exhausted. I handed him to my husband and locked myself in the bathroom for a good 40 minutes just crying. I finally came out and put him to sleep. Now i can't sleep because i feel like a horrible person I feel like he felt that I got frustrated and broke down and he's just a baby. I don't know I just feel so bad

Answer

You're not a bad mom. Kudos to you for walking away and making sure baby was with responsible person and not abandoned or harmed. Shaken baby Syndrome happens to often because people get overwhelmed and don't ask for help or they are just psycho. Relax and don't worry because that baby will love you and doesn't know you need time to yourself, I mean heck the baby won't even remember!

Answer

Do NOT feel bad. This has happened to me several times where I needed my husband to save me by taking the baby so I could go cry. It is completely normal to get overwhelmed when you are hormonal and sleep deprived. You know you love your baby, don't feel guilty. Hang in there! I hear it gets better supposedly lol

Answer

You're a good mom. Being a mom is the hardest job in the world, it never ends and it's exhuasting. Walking away for a bit is the very best way to deal with the stress, and you didn't even leave your baby alone. Daddies need baby time too.
Don't sweat it. We all need time for ourselves. I found that the amount I get stressed gets better the older she gets. Plus my body is much more used to being tired now and that helps.
You've got this momma. You're doing great

Answer

We all go through that. Don't be silly, caring for a crying child is hard and exhausting.

Answer

We all need a time out sometimes. My husband and I left our baby crying with his grandma last night to go out to dinner. Everyone survived and we still have our sanity! lol don't be so hard on yourself!

Answer

You're not alone. When my son was a month old, I had a hard time. I was overwhelmed and frustrated whenever he cried. Later, I just look at it as, he won't be a baby forever and they do grow up fast I'm going to cherish every moment even if he cries. I mean after all, babies sound cute when they cry. You're not a bad mom for wanting "me time". We as moms should take care of ourselves and to have time to ourselves. Just because you're a mom doesn't mean you can't have fun.
