Sigh....

I just gave birth like a month ago... and my husband keep saying I am a useless wife every single day. Never hear any encouragement words from him at all. Either I got slap at the back very hard or he just twisted my hands whenever baby doesnt want to drink during midnight. He said I hold the baby wrongly and etc. I feel very depressed.

You are Not useless. It's normal for Baby to cry and normal for husband and wife to panic. At times, I also panic more than my wife at times during our Baby's first month. Talk to ur husband when baby is asleep. If he doesn't listen, Reason back, don't shout or scream, it only ends up in Quarrel. Also talk to your parents or immediate family members, get help to prevent verbal and physical abuse. You don't deserve abuse for giving birth to your baby. Stay safe and maintain the family harmony in a soft way - Remember everything you do is for your baby and the family. As a last resort, If all fails, seek legal help: https://www.aware.org.sg/ But don't suffer in silence - you don't deserve that.

Hey Mummy, also good to check these: Is the bed or environment where baby is being fed or sleeping dusty, dirty or too hot or too cold or too noisy? Or have hidden dust or insects that not visible to human eye unless we the adults check in detail? Is baby feeling very warm or hot? Is baby being wrapped too thick? Is Baby's clothes too thick? Do you cover baby with thick blanket when feeding? Maybe baby feel hot? Also when feeding, does baby sweat or feeling warm or hot at Baby's forehead, back and the back of her head? If yes, try cover Baby's feet with a thin blanket instead of thick blanket, try to carry baby in a position where aircon air or air from the fan circulation can help to keep baby cool, especially Baby's head and Baby's back. Adjust the Aircon temperature to suit keep baby cool, not too hot not too cold, ideally 26°C to 27°C. This is what my mother in law & wife do to keep our baby cool. Note: don't blow aircon in Baby's direction, let it circulate. Otherwise later
