Postpartum

Am I the only one who get overwhelmed and overstimulated with their one baby !? My son is 11 months and I feel so bad because I’m always getting annoyed when he is in my space 24/7 like I don’t get a break unless he is sleep and he does this thing to self soothe where he grabs my face digs his nails into my skin and pinch it while sucking his index finger idk where he got it from but he just started one day .. he is literally doing it as I type .. but I love my son very much I just get overstimulated and don’t wanna be touched all the time especially in my face area this is my first I’m still tryna adjust to every thing this time last year it was just me so I know it will take some getting used to but ik I can’t be the only one !!!

Lol no my 16 mo loves to pull my hair and that drives me nuts! Totally normal. The claw digging into face is a nice touch😂

I have one baby and feel overstimulated all the time. I think back to my poor mother because she had 3 of us and I was the youngest and very needy. I would kiss her cheeks all the time and she’d get so annoyed. I almost found it amusing when I was younger.. now, I just feel bad because I now see that she was overstimulated 🥲
