That happened to me with my son, but because he was quite ill with GERD and milk protein allergy. He would scream and cry all day.. then my daughter was struggling at first to adjust to no longer being the center of attention.

Felt everything was my fault and I started thinking I had done something to hurt my baby (until I got answers from his doctor)

I got help because I got quite low. If you are struggling do not hesitate to ask for help (whatever that looks like for you). I went back on a med and started slowly climbing up out of the hole, and it got easier as his health improved and everyone adjusted.

Are you having postpartum or is it a separate occurrence? Please take care, and you are not alone. People assume it “should” be all happiness and sunshine and rainbows when you have a baby… truth is it’s a big adjustment and hormones are all out of whack for a bit. Hang in there mama ❤️💪🏻 you’re doing great
