Hiya could I have a post please.
My daughters 10 weeks old tomorrow and I’m having problems leaving her. Before I get comments saying she’s so young blah blah I don’t mean leaving her for the night at families or anything I mean for an hour or two. Weirdly me and my partner went out 5 weeks after she was born for dinner and some drinks we were out for about 5 hours and I was fine and I have left her probably three other times with my mum to go shopping or to pop out for food but since me and my partner went out when she was 8 weeks old for his birthday we ended up walking home and their were kids running from something one of them knocked me over and I hit my head off a bench and ended up unconscious in hospital. Since then the thought of leaving her even for half an hour or to run across the road to the shop has made me feel physically sick. My mil has offered to have her the night as we’re away seeing my partners family I’m so close with her and feel so bad saying no as she dotes on her so I’m upstairs in bed whilst my daughter is downstairs in the safe hands of her grandmother and I feel terrible about it I can’t even sleep has anyone else experienced this? I’m probably babbling but I just feel so strange now without her even when she’s not sleeping very well at the min and I’m like a walking zombie I’d still rather sit up and cuddle her all night? I’ve always been slightly over obsessed with her no one has ever done a night feed not even my partner and I have always felt uncomfortable letting anyone other than me my partner my parents and his mum holding her anyone else I watch them like a hawk. I know she’s only new but it just worries me as before the weekend at least I could actually give myself a break even if it would be to give her to my mum or dad so I could have a bath now I wait until she’s having a nap and I’ve rocked her to sleep so end up bathing at 3 o’clock in the afternoon. Why have I taken a step back I feel obsessed with her even my boyfriends sister said to him I would take her off her for an hour so she can have a long bath and a bit of a break but I don’t think she trusts me and I think she’ll always say no. Even though I’m such good friends with her and she has 5 kids of her own who are all so well looked after and loved. I just feel so silly and strange about it all and typing it all out makes me feel like it’s nothing but is this normal to go from being ok to leave her for a while to not being able to let her out of my sight? TIA
