my baby is 1 month and the constant crying is making me excessively angry. So much that I want to hit him. How can I control this as a mother? What is wrong with me

dear mommy, i think you are going through a classic case of post-natal depression. this is absolutely normal, as your body and mind are excessively tired and you need rest and time to heal. however, you are right that the anger you feel may harm your baby. in that case, have you spoken to your partner? i think it would help you if someone took over the caring part for some time each night so that you get some rest. maybe you can sleep in another room for some time or go for a nice relaxing walk, whatever helps you de-stress. it is important to speak to your hubby about this. and if required, please do not hesitate to ask for professional help. your doc will be able to help you.

You are just tired and over whelmed by the new role of motherhood. speak to your husband and seek his help with the baby too. I'm sure there are some elders in the family who can help you too. Don't worry, it's absolutely normal to feel agitated or frustrated. Whenever you feel so just take a few deep breaths to calm down.
