🤱 After Nine Months of Carrying Your Baby, You May Feel Overwhelmed…
For months, you were at the center of attention, surrounded by love and care. But now, it feels like your baby has taken center stage.
💫 The physical changes of childbirth, exhaustion, emotions, and heightened sensitivity can all impact your relationship with your newborn.
And then comes the frequent feeling of guilt…
❓ Why can’t I handle it?
❓ Why don’t I feel that motherly instinct?
❓ Why is my baby crying so much?
💖 Moms & Newborns Need Support
Boston pediatrician Claudia Gold calls it psychological holding:
🗣️ “It is very important that you feel supported, understood, and heard so you can then bond with your baby.”
👶 But sometimes, the baby you imagined is not the one you are holding in your arms.
- Your baby cries a lot, and you feel alone in caring for them. 😢
- You’re struggling with feeding, making you feel fragile and helpless. 🍼
- You’re crying a lot and feeling like you just can’t handle it.
⚠️ If your baby’s crying is stressing you out too much, remember—you are NOT alone. 💛 There’s no shame in talking about it or asking for help.
💔 When Baby’s Crying Feels Overwhelming
A difficult relationship with your baby can affect your entire family—your partner, children, and loved ones.
👩⚕️ When things don’t go well, you turn to the pediatrician for answers.
Oftentimes, it’s labeled as colic—defined as a baby crying uncontrollably for more than three hours a day, three days a week, for at least three weeks.
❗ But many pediatricians simply reassure you that crying is normal and check your baby’s physical health.
💬 They say: “Don’t worry, all babies cry…”
💭 And you start to feel even more lost and alone, with a crying baby and no real solution.
But crying is a form of suffering, and it makes you suffer too.
Hearing nonstop crying is overwhelming, exhausting, and emotionally draining.
🫂 You Deserve Support Without Guilt
💡 This is when guidance truly matters. You need a safe space to express your emotions without guilt.
🔸 You need to feel understood.
🔸 You need to feel supported.
🔸 You need real answers.
Many mothers struggle to share their feelings with their partner, mother, or even friends—fearing judgment or feeling like they’re failing.
Sometimes, outside support is the best solution 💛.
It allows you to express yourself freely, feel heard without fear, and find real solutions for you and your baby.
