Struggling

Since having my LG 2 years ago now I still feel so lost with myself, my relationship with my partner & just not myself in general still. I know this is probably very normal, but I’m just really struggling with it all. Me & my partner just argue constantly about me asking for help, wether it be keeping on top of the house work, with our LG or just if I need to try and catch up on myself when overwhelmed. I do currently take antidepressants since she was born as it has been very hard. I’m going back to the doctors soon to discuss possibly increasing my dose/ other things to help me.

Basically I just needed to get it all off my chest and see if anyone is in the same position and could recommend anything they do to help with it all. 🀞🏼❀️

Bottle feeding

Bottles

My 20 month lg takes a bottle of milk to bed and has a bottle of juice for throughout the night. They ALWAYS leak in her bed and I’m constantly having to wash her bedding because it’s wet and gets smelly. Are there any good bottles she can use at bedtime that are still teats as they are soothing, yet don’t leak??

Baby sleep

Sleep help!

My son slept amazingly from 2 to 4 months. He would stay asleep from 6 pm to 6 am every single night. Well then at 4 months he started waking up here and there and it feels like as he's gotten older it's just gotten worse. Last night he got up 5 times and every night he gets up at least twice and I have to nurse him back to sleep. He will scream and scream and scream forever if I don't nurse him. Like an hour of screaming if I don't give in. It's crazy stressful and I'm so sleep deprived and I just don't know what to do to help. I very rarely fall asleep nursing him but then I sleep horrible so I try not to. I usually just sit down nurse him and put him back in bed and sometimes he's very aware and freaks out again but sometimes he turns over and goes to sleep. Doctor says don't feed him at all at night but it's extremely difficult. I'm sure another issue is that I feed him to sleep and he's refused his paci the past few months. But I just don't get why he's waking up so dang often and how to help him sleep. He has a little nightlight and sound machine he's always had, we used to watch tv in the same room no problem but now have to be totally silent, and he just randomly wakes up all night. We have tried stuffies, hotter or colder temps, more or less clothes, he wont even take a bottle anymore and he used to, only nursing. Part couple days he wakes up within an hour of laying him down. But right back to sleep when nursed. Anyone Have a similar issue and find something that helped?!

Postpartum mental health

Shouted at baby and now I feel like an awful mum

Hi, I am really looking for support and no judging please.

Since my little one was born sleeping has just been the hardest and difficult thing,. We just got help with the sleep and finally in a much better routine.

My partner took her out this morning and she missed her morning nap and let her sleep for 5 minutes in the buggy on the way home. It was her big lunch time nap time. I just spent 1 hour and 45 minutes trying to get her back to sleep.

I got so stressed I tried stepping outside and cooling down but ended up shouting at her. I left the room to cool down and then picked her up and hugged her. But I feel so so so awful like I'm a terrible mum. I don't want to lose my cool like that ever. It was my partners fault and not hers, but I could see how tired she was and she was just refusing to sleep.

I just feel so bad and awful. Please can someone tell me if they have ever done the same and feel like this. πŸ₯ΊπŸ₯ΊπŸ₯Ί
