Mom rage

When does mom rage end? Will it ever get better? My daughter is almost 8 months old and my mom rage is bad. I try so hard not to be angry but it just happens. If I accidentally snap at her I feel terrible mom guilt after.

Do you know what's triggering it?

@Kristen everything is at this point. It gets worse at night

Yeah I understand that. I have also been very frustrated lately. My little one is screaming all the time and constantly crawling all over me. She sleeps like crap and it's worn my patience thin. I've just had to step away whenever I can right now. I remind myself that she's not doing any of this intentionally, she's just a small baby going through a lot of overwhelming and scary development and it will pass. Just get away to recharge whenever you have the time. Hopefully it will give you a little more patience. Don't feel guilty. You still love your baby and aren't a bad mom. You aren't alone

What I have found is that while breastfeeding, my calcium gets tapped, which affects my PPD/A/R. Also, my body doesn't process the calcium from my prenatals if my potassium, magnesium and sodium aren't in balance. Aaaand then there's sleep. If I don't get enough sleep I can't regulate my emotions. So I drink an LMNT pack each day and take my prenatals (Solaray Baby Me Now) daily and the rage, and depression are kept in check. This is my 5th and I hadn't fully figured this out until the end of nursing my 3rd.
