Not enjoying being a mum

I feel so awful for saying this but i am struggling. Baby girl is 4.5 months old and i love her so much. But i’m finding being a mum so relentless. She’s constantly whinging/crying, nothing seems to make her happy and if it does, its very brief moments. She gets bored very quickly and it just stresses me out. She makes a constant whinging noise all day long and its so draining. She cries and fights every single nap time, gets overtired and gets hysterical and just generally hard work. The only good thing is that she is sleeping 12 hours at night. I’m praying it gets easier because i’m done!

Also feeling like this, it’s relentless..for the past week I would say LG has been whinging / crying all day with very few smiles and not really settling with anyone but me. It’s so exhausting especially when we have 5 / 6 wake ups per night. I think it’s all part of the 4 month regression & teething. Not really any advice I can offer but just I feel your pain. I just know it will eventually get better & have to stay focussed on the fact that this is only a phase. Sending lots of ❤️

My girl is 5 months and very similar to yours, except she definitely does not sleep 12 hrs at night 🤣. I'm just hoping she gets more content as she gets older and can play with toys/crawl around

I’ve just come here to say hang in there it gets better 🩷 I felt like this with my first x

I felt this big time with my first! But it does get better and in time i loved spending time with her. Now I can't imagine my life without her and it was all so worth it. I know it's so so hard when you're in it but this phase will pass before you know it

I find we’re going through a stage where it’s painful when we’re in the house so I try and be out and about as much as possible. I just can’t get him to nap at home so he’s grouchy a lot and I can’t get any jobs done so may as well go for a walk/a drive and be out of the house x
