My son is 10 months now yet his agenda has no longer replaced too a lot except we supply him better table nutrients. 6 or 6:30 : 6 ounce bottle of milk 8 - 8:30 : Rice cereal with fruit and entire wheat bread 10 - 11:30 - 6 ounce Bottle and Nap time 12:30 - a million: Rice Cereal, infant fruit and veggie yet another piece of bread 3 - 3:30 - 6 ounce bottle and Nap time 5 - 5:30 - Dinner (we were fixing better fowl when you consider that he seems to love it plenty) fowl and yet another tender nutrients (mashed potatoes) some thing like that of very few infant nutrients on the aspect with some better bread. on occasion in the course of the day he would snack on some crackers and juice notwithstanding that's about it. His agenda is slightly diverse on the weekend because we do no longer ought to evoke so early and he often would not awaken then till 7 or 7:30. So each and every thing receives pushed back an hour or so.

It definitely sounds like a post pardom thing. It doesn't mean you're going to hurt your baby as others here may think. There are a number of factors that we don't know...like how did you feel towards your other children, do you havea job, how much sleep you get, how your relationship with the dad is, etc.
I've had friends who felt the same way, or even angry that a new baby (their first) took so much freedom away from them...that they couldn't believe this little thing took away so much sleep and trips to movies, and alone time with hubby, etc. But she ended up laughing about it a few years later and couldnt' believe she thought like that.
It could be that you feel resentment towards the dad for not helping as much or maybe he gets out more than you do. My real guess is that it is depression/postpardom stuff honestly. It doesn't really go away on it's own if you can own up to it, then I would.
I had a daughter, pregnancy went well and all, afterward well. I had my son last year, I was anemic, gestational diabetic, and I now have low thyroid problesm in my life. But the last few years my thyroid was doing good. This year after the baby, I am having thyroid problems again, and it's been low. MY POINT IS that having babies especially the older you get, really DRAINS the body regardless of what you may think. It affects your hormones, it does a number to the thyroid, it does a lot to us physically as well as mentally, it depletes vitamins, and things in our bodies. So what you feel is NORMAL for someone with their 3rd child.
Here are some things to take into consideration:
1. if you think it's serious enough, I'd set up regular visits with a therapist (quite normal people go see therapists all the time). If you have some sort of chemical imbalance you may need to talk to someone about it, go out more with your friends (like as in get a babysitter); but it could also be medical like a thyroid problem. So I would go get a regular yearly check up and labs from a regular physcian (including thyroid and hormones if you can) to rule those out.
2. If you feel out of control, get help NOW. Don't be afraid to ask for it. You CANNOT take care of your little ones if you DON'T take care of yourself FIRST!
3. If you think it is a phase, I'd still at least go get a check up at the doctors.

Melissa, you are probably exhausted. You also might be experiencing nutritional changes, and certainly hormonal changes. A third baby means a whole lot of transition within the family. You are trying to cope with the changes in lifestyle that occur when a third baby is born and to the demands of a larger, and I'm sure interesting, family, in all its complexity.
The important thing right now is to know you aren't alone in your feelings (or lack of them). I've given you some websites (below) that will confirm for you that others understand the difficulties (even through the joys!) of having a third child. A number of articles on Having a Third Baby are included in my last reference,
http://parents.berkeley.edu/advice/parents/thirdchild.html
Please be sure to let your doctor know what you are experiencing---there are so many ways a physician can attend to your needs, if you will just let him/her become aware of what you're going through.
Congratulations on your family!

Depends, how far apart are they? Are you a single parent, is your spouse helping with her? Maybe you need a mini vacation. A weekend spa, a night out with your spouse, kids at moms for the night/weekend and an overall break. Depression can peak at any time in a persons life and talking to your dr, mom or close friend may help. Especially talk to your spouse. Maybe he can pitch in a little more for a few days allowing you time to get back on trac. I don't think it's your baby, cause let something happen to her and you'd be there in a minute.

it could be postpartum depression. see a therapist as soon as possible. it may be nothing, but it's better safe than sorry and you should seek help ASAP. regardless of what Dr. Tom Cruise says (ha!), postpartum depression is a very real disease and there are medications that have helped many women get over it.
if you want more information on postpartum depression, check out this site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postpartum_depression
PS - it's hard to believe some of these people have actually experienced this when they don't even know how to spell it...

Sounds like you might be experiencing post pardon depression. I suffered with both my boys, but after my 2nd was born, I felt like I wanted to spend more time with my oldest. You also may not really be bonding. Definitely talk to your doctor. You're not a bad parent. It's just that you're body has gone through so much and having a newborn puts such a toll on you physically and emotionally.
Good luck!!!!

Post Partum depression can come on that late, or has been underlying the whole time.
Call your doctor right now, or a therapist, and let them know how you feel. If something happens and you hurt the baby, you may never be the same.

Maybe you're just overwhelmed by the responsibility of 3 children. Your daughter did NOT ask to be born...you and the father made that decision. Now it's up to the two of you to love and nurture this baby. Maybe you should seek counseling because if you don't bond with her soon, she will realize it later.

You may have post partum depression, depression that comes after having a baby. Call your doctor immediately. Medication could help and so could counseling. Start by calling your doctor.
