Touched out?

Is anyone else struggling with intimacy with their partners? Especially those who are breastfeeding. I find that at the end of the day once my partner is home from work, the thought of even being touched repulses me and it is taking a toll on our relationship. Does anyone have any advice? Or recommendations on how to navigate this? Bub is 6 months old, nearly 7, and exclusively breastfed

I feel the same sometimes too I’m exclusively breastfeeding my now 8 month old son and have a 4 year old too so once they gone to bed I find it hard to relax a little bit sometimes and get in the mood. Only thing I can suggest that works is remove your phones watch a movie when kids asleep and cuddle to start the mood

I don't get incognito posts that ask why someone chooses to do or not to do something if they are just going to close their ears and be judgemental

I will never understand why people post incognito on here asking why someone chooses to do something or not to do something... Or why they believe or don't believe in something if they are just going to judge everyone's answers like a twat. Why open it for discussion if you are just going to use it to judge anyway? Doesn't make sense. Yes some people post their kids others don't, yes some people don't... Some people believe in God and some don't, some people wean at 6 months and some don't, some people breastfeed and some don't... These are just some of the bs incognito posts lately being judgemental. Some of y'all need to pay attention to your own grass before pointing fingers because they are turning brown with your bullshit. News flash *gasp* people parent differently 😱 oh wow!!! Who knew?!?!

Anxiety and feeling sad

My little one is now a 1 year old. And every now and then when I haven’t slept I get a little weepy and feel a bit overwhelmed like you would when the baby is newborn. Is this normal especially after a year? Has anyone felt that up and down? I noticed it’s usually a lot more when I have had a rough night! 😔🙈

Male health visitor

I had a pre visit from my health visitor who was male and refused to shake my hand due to being the opposite gender (religious reasons I assume) the closer my due date gets the more uncomfortable I feel that he will be my support network for breastfeeding, mental health etc. Would you ask for a change?

Seizure or just a happy baby

11weeks old, there is nothing to look at or nobody making him laugh. First time he has ever done this. Is this normal?

Side sleeping

My 7mo has recently started sleeping on his side. I wouldnt be bothered normally but it seems to be causing him to sleep really restlessly. He'll try to roll on his front in his sleep and wake himself up and somehow always shuffles a whole 90-180 degrees doing it. Has anyone elses baby ever done anything similar?
