Burnt Umber Brasserie Hackney Wick 1/10

A nightmare to manoeuvre into and made to feel like a burden from the moment we arrived. Very little space for pushchairs and once you park up and think you’re not in the way I was told couldn’t have pushchair in the aisle and then guy who worked their shoved it into a corner of the shop area. 100% not for groups. Made to feel even worse when friend arrived with another pushchair. Couldn’t wait to leave
Does have a high chair and changing facilities but definitely not baby friendly. Food is pricey.

Only child - I cried this morning

I have a son who’s 2 and I do not want anymore. I suffer with mental health and I cannot have anymore due to that reason.
But my sister in law has said how sad she feels for my little boy being alone etc and it’s not fair that I will
Leave him alone and the guilt I feel is awful 😭😭😭 the thing is not one of my partners side of the family help us

Hot take. I think it's better to rehome your pets after having kids if it's affecting your postpartum mental health.

I had to. I had cats and I could not manage the twins and take care of them. It wasn't possible for me.

Am I being selfish?

My husband has had a lay in until 9am the last two mornings whilst I’ve taken the baby downstairs from 6am so he could have peace and quiet.

This morning was meant to be my turn for a lay in, he is cuddling the baby but he is crying in the bed and I say to him, I think he needs his nappy done as that’s why he is crying and he ignores me after I told him around 5 times that the nappy needs to be done as baby isn’t settling… so I took the baby off him and did the nappy myself and took baby downstairs and said to husband enjoy your lay in 😂

I don’t understand why he couldn’t just do the nappy or take him downstairs like I do for him 😫

Is anyone else’s husband like this?

Not crawling

My LO just turned 8 months as isn’t crawling, not sure if I should be concerned.
He goes up on straight arms and pushing around and off things

Time flies- first time mom

I just wanted to share how I’m feeling and see if anyone else feels the same. My baby was born March 4th and he’s just turned 2 months. I find myself very emotional and sad that he has grown so much. At first I was so overwhelmed with fear of having to take care of a whole other human- he was so tiny- but now that he’s getting big I wish I could go back in time. Obviously it’s good he’s growing and is healthy but it’s so sad how time flies.

When to feed more?

When do you know when to feed your newborn more ozs? My LO (almost 6 weeks old) has been on 3oz, sometimes 3 and a half if he seems extra hungry. But lately he’s been getting hangry an hour before his next feeding time (we go every 3 hours), and he seems to struggle pooping. I tried him on 4ozs, and he seemed just fine, there was a little extra spit up but other than that he went back to normal with not getting angry between feedings and his pooping was back to normal. Should I keep him at 4ozs?
