7 months going still no sex drive!

6 years and nout lol

1 week is really soon after a c-section, so I wouldn’t worry just yet!

When is a safe time to have Sex post c?

6 weeks pp and it’s the last thing on my mind 😂

Honestly I was scared I would lose it but if anything my sex drive is higher now, it was high whilst being pregnant too. I wasn’t up for it at least 3 weeks after the operation tho there was no way my partner was coming near me 😆Give at least 4 weeks minimum. Your body is recovering from the inside out it’s not a simple operation too they literally rummage around inside of you it is normal to feel different, just keep an eye on it xxx

they say from 6weeks plus x

10 months PP I don’t think it’s returned lol!

It will return we started having sex again after 5months .

I have very low libido due to having hypothyroidism, but this time around four weeks pp and Ive been practically begging my husband for sex, but he's being very strict about doctors orders and waiting till I'm 6 weeks pp 🙄 after my first csection I was never in the mood.

Give your body as much time as it needs! But when you are trying it’s going to feel super weird, and dry down there. So I se lots of lube!

Showering with my baby? Is it unsafe/ wrong?

Is it weird to take a shower with my baby boy? Is it a bad thing? I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately because I can never shower I’m 11 weeks pp and my husband started a new job. He is gone all day to work and I can’t just leave my baby alone so I can shower. I can’t hear the monitor over the running water and even if he is sleeping if I leave the room he wakes up and starts crying and doesn’t stop unless I pick him up and if I put him down again he cries again and I’m against letting my baby just cry it out. So I’ve been neglecting my own self care and hygiene and it’s really taking a toll on my mental health. So I guess what I’m really wondering is it wrong, and is it unsafe?

Am I over reacting?

MIL came over on sunday to help with childcare, I'm heavily pregnant so she said why don't you go for a nap while I'm here.
I had a 2 hr nap upstairs and during that time she fell asleep on the sofa for 1.5 hrs. I know because we have security cameras round the house which i looked at later on after she'd gone.
My daughter slept for 30 mins on her, on the arm of the sofa and then the rest of the time she was left with the TV on.
I'm really annoyed because we have a wooden floor, a coffee table that she tries to climb on, she had hair ties which she often pulls out and tries to chew therefore a choking risk.
She's 20 months old.
Am I over reacting?
The worst thing is when I came downstairs after my nap, she 'she's not had much sleep only about 10 minutes'. But idk how she'd know that because my daughter woke up ages before she did.

Poo Help Needed 😱

My baby is approaching 6 months and is exclusively breastfed. A midwife warned us to expect that by this point, he would be pooing once a week and would make a big song and dance about it.

My baby poos once or twice a day, sometimes three times, without fail. Probably one in three is very vinegary, and they are in general smelly - I can tell he's pooed on smell alone.

They are also fairly explosive. He's in a larger size nappy than his weight to try and contain the poo as we have frequent blowouts! He also generally only poos in his car seat unless it's first thing in the morning!

Other than pooping, he seems completely healthy. He has maintained appropriate weight gain at his last check (which admittedly was at 3 months), but he's chubby and round. He also has plenty of wet nappies. I'd love to hear from people as to whether this is normal or whether I should be worried that this is an allergy or something!!!

How many poos does your EBF baby do a day / week? Please let me know!!!
