Fancy a coffee?

Hi everyone!

I’m new to South Yarra (arrived just in time for lockdown #5) and my 6 month old son, Charlie, and I are feeling a little bit of cabin fever. Our regular distractions (baby sensory, gymbaroo, rhyme time etc) aren’t able to run at the moment so we were wondering if anyone would like to meet up for coffee?

Charlie would be eternally grateful so he doesn’t have to listen to me sing “Old MacDonald had a farm” yet another time ;)

Hi

Almost 3 years of loneliness

I wonder if any experienced mamas can give any advice.

My little boy is almost 3, and I've suffered from being lonely since he was born really.

My family and my husband's family live very far from us, and my family are not very dedicated or committed, so I rarely get to spend much time with them. My husband's family we see 1 or 2 times per year due to distance. My husband's job is very long hours and he's at work most of the time.

I feel that I've followed all the advice I can and yet I'm still spending the vast majority of my time alone with my little boy. I have made a few friends, but people have their own lives and families so seeing friends maybe only happens once or twice per week maximum for a couple of hours, and sometimes I can go for weeks without seeing these friends. My pre-baby friends are none existent now. I take my little boy out every day for multiple hours to parks or play groups, just so we're not alone in the house. But I find even this is becoming such an effort now, because I just feel so lonely.

I keep thinking about returning to work just for some adult company, but then I think that's unfair on my child and selfish of me as he'd have to go to nursery for long hours.

It really feels hard on weekends when we're alone and we go out and everyone is out with families and friends, and we don't have that.

Vitamin supplements

Morning :)

What vitamin supplements are you giving your baby once the drop below 500mls of formula? My little one isn’t there yet but thought I’d look into it before he is!
