Haritima a baby does not know how to fall asleep and is still adapting to life outside the womb. The baby recognises your smell voice heartbeat and body resonance hence feels comfortable in your arms. Also suckling is a natural reflex which is why the nipple in the mouth. I have already suggested seek help from family members. There are other ways like swaying swaddling sshhing which can help baby to feel calm and sleep better.

Dear Haritima, I'm sorry you feel this way.<br> But post partum depression is very real and many new mothers face it.<br> It takes a lot of courage to speak about it. And you should be proud of yourself that you did! Many women going through the same..after reading this thread of long messages will.have a lot to look forward to and have the courage to deal with.<br> So firstly kudos to you!!!! Now to deal with it...<br> Please understand it's a huge hormonal change your body is going through<br> As if that was not enough, we have a new life that we are completely responsible for. So a few hacks...<br> 1. Please take all the support that there is...to unwind as and when you can.<br> 2. Allow your self to feel low but don't drown in it.<br> 3. In better moods...maintain a journal of all things good happening. And plan a few things u would like to do look forward to.<br> 4. Spend alone time with ur partner.<br> 5. Pamper yourself...hit the parlour or spa...or call them home.<br> 6. Watch mindless movies.<br> 7. Even if it's an effort ...listen to good music. <br> 8. Start planning your lil ones one month and what would like to wear; and make her wear. <br> 9. Then plan further <br> 10. Last but not the least....speak to your gynac and tell her about this..she might be able to help<br> If not seek counselling .<br> Also speak to your family and husband and seek support. Wishing you lots of love

It is very important to take some support first from family and then from an expert. This happens due to hormonal changes but for some women as in your case it seems to be a little more than the normal baby blues. Get some help in handling the baby. Find some other activities to do. You do not need to be house bound and an expert will be able to help you get over this situation with your family. In India most families do not allow mom's to step out of the house for the first forty days but finding time for yourself and doing some distraction is very important. Eat well and healthy and get plenty of rest.
