xp: crying baby, crying mommy

I thought I was done with PPD. Really I did and then LO decided that not even my boob was consoling enough for him. We had an hour of screaming inconsolable crying this morning. DH was the only one that could soothe him. This is very hard for me to accept. I could not comfort my own child. Not even sticking a boob in his mouth helped.

and I cried and I felt like the worst mother on earth and the most miserable wife and the biggest failure ever. I questioned every decision leading up to this including my marriage and even thought I wouldn't blame DH for being unhappy and if he wanted to leave me he could. I actually starting imagining how much more difficult life would be without him.

Now that LO is sleeping and DH went off to work, I should be enjoying this unknown time of peace and quiet and do some housework or something that benefits the greater family good but I'm not. I'm sitting here worrying that my feelings of self hate and doubt will return.

    My LO is constantly crying and I don't have a DH to help out I have my mom instead and it seems like DD likes my mom more than me. She'll stop crying when my mother holds her and it totally makes me feel like crap.

    It doesn't make you a bad mother because some babies are just really picky-- it's not like you did anything wrong. Hope things get better for you.
