How to snap out of a rage?

I’ve had a very very bad morning

I’m sleep deprived for 7 months. Baby has never slept through the night and I’m exhausted.

I get really bad rage near my periods ever since postpartum but today I can’t snap out of it - help? How can I?

I’ve got to the stage I’m punching myself or walls or just throwing crap against the wall. I’ve never taken it out on my son but I’ve told him to shut up today and that’s just not something I do

What the hell can I do I feel so out of control

Apparently looking at how tiny they're feet or hands are is supposed to help along with deep breaths or counting I'd imagine

This really spoke to me. I have been feeling like this recently. Telling someone was first step, that helped me! If you do scream or shout just say your sorry but you’ve been sleep deprived 7+months and have had your whole life turn upside down and it can be flipping hard to be calm and controlled 24/7 when all you wanna do is sleep!

If there is someone that can just take little one for a walk or out for a bit sometime in week look forward to that little nap.

Just remember you’re doing great.

Definitely seek some support - whatever this looks like for you….
GP appointment / inviting someone over to give you an hours nap / meeting a friend for coffee to have an adult conversation….

I find being out and about much much easier when we’ve had a tough night!
It will pass 💕

Poop question

Hey mommas I’m a ftm and my babygirl hasn’t pooped in two days she’s formula feed and is 12 weeks old. I can tell she’s uncomfortable and I feel so bad. I’ve been doing belly rubs and bicycle kicks and all the things like that. Also gave her some gas drops and gripe water to relieve the gas but still no poop. Does anyone have any tips or tricks for me. Pic so we don’t get lost💕

Health Visitor Home Visit

Hii, could anyone explain what the health visitor does on their home visit?

Also if anyone had a home birth, what the midwife home risk assessment involves?

I’ve got 3 home visits coming up in the next two weeks (health visitor, midwives and doula) and it’s making me nervous for some reason. I think having 3 just feels like a lot and a bit invasive if that makes sense!

Who else is out there holding a baby thru the night so his noises dont wake up the house?!

I cant believe im still doing this at 15 months old!!!

My 2nd child is not just the noisiest sleeper but they have always been weird with breastfeeding

I think currently he is having some kinda developmental leap and growth spurt, eating and drinking like crazy and in the middle of the night if he wakes up , it takes ages to put back to sleep and he rolls around making sooooo much noise!!!

And i either have a low supply now OR he loves a fast flow and so he just jumps off the boob when it slows and complains loudly or just talks cutely but loudly! and i have to keep swapping boobs OR i have to get up and hold him and feed so gravity helps and the flow is faster and holding him means he eventually sleeps or at-least is feeding properly so is bloody quiet now! So at 1 am or 3am or often 5am onwards im holding n feeding until he wakes up 🥲🥲🥲

Any tips?

How’s everyone’s babies sleeping?

My little one is 19 weeks, she used to sleep through when we would put her to bed at around 10pm, she would sleep through until 6-7 am.
Now she gets so tired around 8 pm so we moved her bedtime here, but coming with this is 1-2 night feeds and she’ll be wide awake at 6 am, which I know is still amazing but I am currently as sick as a dog so hasn’t been the best for my flu 🤣.
I’m unsure whether this is the regression though as her naps are very scattered throughout the day with the max nap being 30 minutes through contact only.
Does this sound like the regression? When did your little one start sleeping through again if they ever did? Thanks in advance 🤗❤️
