Sounds like post-partum depression. Is your baby around mostly you? That could be part of the problem...she's playing you. Do you have a parent, friend, relative, or neighbor that could watch her for awhile so you have some "me" time? This just may help with the fussiness. If not, I would certainly contact her pediatrician. Good Luck!

Hey I do the same thing too. See I have sleeping problems though, but that doesn't matter. Anyway why I think that happens to you because night time you know the sun went down and its just dark and you can't see anything happy and colorfull outside. So its just a sad veiw and then when the sun comes out you're all yay I'm ready to start a great day! Which is good. What I would do is at night time keep lights on so its not dim in the room you're in. Listen to some relaxing music and/or read something that'll make you calm then lay in bed and get ready to start a great day. Also what I do is keep a little light on in my room, I can't sleep in the dark.

You need to see a doctor. Its quite possible that you have a case of post partum depression. This is something that can be easily overlooked at first, but then it catches up. Lack of sleep, a fussy baby and hormonal changes can really mess with you.
I dont know if you are single or not, but if you are (and trust me, I know, because I was a single mommy too) its hard to be single and keep a bright positive outlook on everything. You need to take care of yourself and your baby, and the first step is seeing a doctor and figuring out what is going on with your body. When you feel frustrated with yourself and you question wether you are a nice person, you need to get some help.
everyone has hard times, and i know that you (and your baby) can get thru this, effectivly and safely and come out stronger in the end. I KNOW YOU CAN.
Start with your regular doctor, consider a psychologist or counselor ( I did and it really, really made a difference). And from there, finding a parenting group, a mom's support group, baby play date group will bring you more support. You are not alone. Lots of people feel this way, and this too shall pass.

you have to turn on a DVD to make your kid eat??? who is ruling the house - you or your kid?? sounds like the kid is the boss.. know what?? I wouldnt turn on the DVD or anything if she doenst want to eat.. fine thats in - no supper - seriously eventually she will be hungry enough
the problem is if you let her be the boss now.. you will be really sorry when she is a teenager..
the kids most formative years are 0 to 5yrs.. so if you set the pattern now that she can get away with it she will ALWAYS be that way = stubborn and manipulative
ok now about being depressed - this is common and can be post partum depression.. perhaps you need to see a doctor or talk to somebody... often women enjoy the attention they get while pregnant and when out with a young baby and dont feel so special when the kid starts growing up.. its a mistake to keep having babies to get this feeling again... you need to gain happiness in yourself first.. do so my not allowing your kid to rule your life

i think it's normal to feel overwhelmed. try to have a girl's night (grown-ups only) once a month or get involve in a moms and tots group being around other mother's might help

What you're going through is quite common, specially among first time moms. I found a link for you that may help you understand what you're going through. Good luck!

Cram it down it's throught, that will work. But you have to keep a close eye on it for a while, to make sure that it doesn't throw up. If it does, whoop it, then force some more.

you should talk to a doctor, hun. sometimes, moms just need a break, they are suffering from exhaustion and could really use a nap. sometimes it's someting more difficult. there's no shame in saying you need help.
