Just wondering when did everyone decide to try have sex again after having a baby I’m only two weeks post delivery but I’m very much scared to even try and I’m unsure when you can I did have stitches too
I’m slightly concerned about how much my 6wo sleeps. I know they sleep a lot at this age but It says from 6 weeks they should be awake around 10 hours per day. The only time she’s awake is when she wants a bottle and when I change her. Anyone else’s baby like this??
I’m almost 12 weeks postpartum. I lost my sweet girl exactly 2 weeks before my baby was born. She was 13 years old, but her death was completely unexpected, came out of absolutely nowhere. Even though it’s been 14 weeks since I lost her, I still feel like I can’t breathe without her. I love my baby boy more than a...
When did you let your babies sleep (bedtime) in the cot upstairs with a camera on and you downstairs? We also have an owelet
Assuming your newborn is in the room with you and you’re doing night feeds? My partner and I are in separate rooms: I’m EBF and feel like there’s not that much he can do to help at night so he might as well get a good nights sleep. Is this normal? I miss him!
Not really baby related but I need somes advice. I've been friends with this woman for 7 years, we met at work and immediately became good friends. She's 10 years older than me but this hasn't been an issue. She's such a good/nice person, kind and isnt nasty to anyone. She's kinda a fragile person (past trauma) and ...
Having trouble with false starts and I'm beginning to think my baby is undertired. Aiming for a 2 hour final wake window as huckleberry suggests, but in the last month then only times he has not had a false start was one time where he had less than 3 hours of nap time in the day, and one time where his final wake wi...
Does anyone have any advice for false starts at bedtime, we have the same problem every night, he has the same routine which he’s has since he was born but after about 45 mins of being asleep he’s waking up. He’s been fed, clean nappy, swaddled, white noise and a dark room. Just not sure what else to try.
Anyone got any tips on how to cosleep comfortably?! I’ve always slept on my side but now I am finding my back is broken!! We’ve coslept (safely) since he was born and he’s now 5.5 months 😭
Y’all today my 14 month old was crying uncontrollably today and I felt so guilty, idk why she was crying. I think she was just sleepy. I ended up crying with her and trying to calm her down, I was home alone and just felt defeated. Has anyone else just felt this low before?
Ladies, it’s 3am and I’m up with my 3 day old baby. He cries, we change diaper, I put him on the boob, he feeds for a bit, falls asleep, repeat, falls asleep on the boob. If I try to put him in his crib, he starts crying, I put him outside n boob, feeds a bit, then falls asleep on the boob. We try to touch his face ...
So just found out that my partner has been accessing and paying for content on only fans. I’m feeling so angry, upset, disappointed, worthless and ugly. I’m 4 months postpartum so already really struggling with my body to be honest. How would everyone approach this?
My 4 month old twins have a quick tub every night before bed! And sometimes this routine can take a god awful amount of time! And some nights I am just too dang tired to do it, then they don’t sleep for the night. So I am looking to find something else so they know the difference between a nap and actual bedtime. ...
My LO is 3 days old, he seems to have taken to breastfeeding really well. Feeds normally last 10-35 mins, but today he has been non stop feeding for 2hours +. Has anyone else experienced this? If so how many days did it last?
My 10 month old keeps slapping and pinching my face through the night and whilst going to sleep… how can I get him to stop? I get very annoyed during the night at him
My 8 week old just went 7hrs without a feed...I didn't even realise until I was half asleep and it popped into my head. Is this normal?? He was fast asleep for most of it. He's formula fed and gaining weight well
