Deflated

I just need to rant I love my son but he's Soo demanding he's 6 months and really always want my attention I try to let him cry it out for a bit as I can't ponder to him every second but honestly his cry makes me sad and depressed, my partner tell me I need to use my support systems for a break when he's at work but right now I just don't trust people to have my son and have a lot of anxiety around it I just feel stuck and it's getting me down

You’re not alone. This is me right now and my baby is around same age as yours. So you’re not alone in your feelings.

It's just like a never ending cycle

I could have written this, my boy is 9 weeks and I feel exactly the same x

My little boy was like this until the last few months (he’s just turned 1). Up until him being 7-8 months he constantly needed attention and fussing over, even as a newborn he couldn’t just lay down and observe the world around him, he needed some kind of sensory input (usually from me). He was always the baby at classes who would be grumpy and just never seemed happy no matter what we did! I love him to bits but it was exhausting and it genuinely made me quite miserable. In the last few months he’s learnt how to crawl and is confidently pulling himself up and cruising the furniture so he can get himself where he wants. There’s little to no whining/crying from him now unless there’s genuinely something wrong. It does get better I promise but I know how low it can make you feel and how never-ending it feels like too! X

Thanks there's some hope in me that it will get better it's just so drainning
