Hi lybrate-user! This symptom is very common amount new mothers about 50 to 60% of population experiences this problem. This is due to the responsibility you have as a mother and your full care and affection is required as a mother. You will not be finding time to care for yourself. Usually irritation occurs, but later on leads to postpartum depression. You need lots of emotional support from your family only then you can overcome this problem. You should start liking and admiring yourself as a mother and your innocent little cute son only then it would be meaningful. Take care. Be relaxed. With regards,
