Q:Trying to keep everyone happy is making me feel overwhelmed.My baby won't sleep,my partner works all hours and I feel isolated from my friends.I spend large parts of the day crying.Help!

A:Firstly,you musn't be responsible for anyone except yourself and your baby.Talk to your health visitor about how you're feeling,as he or she can help you manage your baby's sleep routine.Some of these feelings are normal as you get to grips with being a mum,but it could indicate that your mood is low and you need support.
 Making new friends with women in the same situation will relieve some of the isolation you feel.Even though it's hard when confidence is low,try new mum groups at children's centres.And talk to your partner about how you feel.It'll be another important step in making things better for the whole family.
