I feel like a terrible mother. Like a monster. I hate my child for not letting me sleep. He wakes up at 5 a.m., refuses to nurse, and turns away. He’s been crying for an hour, and I’ve just gone into another room and closed the door. It’s as if his crying even brings me some kind of relief. I might lose my temper and snap at him, maybe even drop him onto the bed or slap his legs. I hate myself for feeling this way. I know he’s not to blame. I’m exhausted. I’m alone with him 24/7 in a foreign country, with no help. What should I do…

This is a very difficult situation. Acknowledge your feelings — they are completely normal. Take a short break to calm down a little. Try to arrange for someone to sit with your child for at least an hour. Consider reaching out to a psychologist or a motherhood specialist — it’s important. Be gentle with yourself and avoid blaming yourself too much.

And remember, a child is very sensitive to their mother.

Please consider placing the baby in a nursery or infant care facility. Every little one deserves to live in a loving family.

Crying can bring relief... Did you read that? It seems like your mind might not be feeling quite right.

Oh, right.
Well, that's the diagnosis.
Wow, I can't believe it.

You're tired, very tired. I’ve been through that too, but I had my husband by my side.

You need some rest, even if it's just for an hour. If you're unable to ask your relatives, consider reaching out to friends, girlfriends, or colleagues. My friend was often alone after giving birth—her husband was at work. She would ask me to take a walk with her baby for at least an hour. She would go out with the stroller while I watched the baby, so she could do some household chores or even just get a quick haircut. Sometimes, reality doesn't match our expectations. Soon, your child will start crawling and walking, and you'll need to keep a constant eye on them. Stay strong. If you're feeling overwhelmed, don't hesitate to seek medical help. There's no point in just talking to a psychologist—go straight to a neurologist or a psychotherapist if needed.

You need to quickly pull yourself together and keep reminding yourself that this is all temporary and things will get easier soon. Otherwise, something terrible might happen.

You need to see a doctor. This is no longer a joke.

Is there no way to hire a part-time nanny? You really need some rest. 😞

Ahadova Elena I experienced this myself: I was angry at my daughter because she wouldn't let me rest. I was sleeping only two hours at night. The exhaustion was terrible. I would wake up in the mornings, washing my face with cold water. Honestly, I wished someone would admit me to the hospital, even just for a week. It was very difficult. But I kept telling myself that everything would get better and that I just needed to get through this period.

You need help, and it’s absolutely certain. This is urgent and important.

If crying brings you pleasure, it's clear that you might need medical help, such as antidepressants, for example.

It's been a nightmare. I have a newborn daughter, a one-year-old son, and a 13-year-old older child who has his own quirks. My husband works from morning till night. Everything falls on me — the garden, household chores, and more. My daughter is constantly crying; I carry her in my arms and also watch over my son. I have no family nearby. I'm holding up for now. Honestly, I think managing with just one child is easier — I don't just think so, I know it. I had my first child at 18, and everything was fine. We got through it all. My son is now a tall young man. 😊

Don't get upset; he still won't understand. Take a deep breath and stay calm. Some children have two or even three little ones to care for. What's going to happen next? If he's crying, it means something isn't right. He wakes up at 5 a.m. — maybe he's thirsty or it's too hot. Perhaps he needs a diaper change or he's hungry because there's no milk in his chest. At this age, children cry for similar reasons: hunger, thirst, heat, or discomfort (and sometimes they're teething). Consider giving him a mild herbal calming remedy to help soothe him.

Maintain a consistent sleep schedule. Your child wakes up once every five hours. You know your child best, so you should be able to tell the reason for their crying.

Children are forever!
And yet, you might be complaining after just six months.

Accept and realize that this is all temporary. I understand it's hard. I've been through this twice myself. (I won't do it again.) Try to rest during the day and distract yourself.
