I need to rant I’m so upset

When I was pregnant my mother in law told me part of her Nigerian culture is to wash the baby with African black soap when they are a day old. Apparently in their culture it is said to stop body odour. Now even I wouldn’t use African black soap on my own skin it is SO DRYING. I was so against it because newborn skin is so delicate and I LOVE the newborn baby smell, but I didn’t want to upset her and I didn’t want to offend my partner. So I asked to compromise, I said can we do this when he’s a little older, like 3 months where his skin is more mature. She agreed, she asked if she could use an African net to scrub him, I said absolutely not.
Fast forward to the day after my son was born we had a big altercation where she and my partner accused me of starving my son because I refused formula and wanted to breast feed but I wasn’t producing enough ( it was the next day, my body was just producing colostrum and I was feeding it to him through a syringe) he was absolutely fine she just wanted to be a bitch. I was so upset and refused to speak to her or my partner. Eventually me and my partner we made up and our son spent 7 days in neonatal unit and was eventually told we can go home. He spoke to his mum who said she didn’t feel welcome in our home ( I lived with my mum at the time). I told him to tell her it’s the home of her grandson she is more than welcome. He then said that she said she’ll only come to see her grandson on the day he comes out of hospital if she can do the African black soap. I felt manipulated because how could I say no. So she did it. And she scrubbed my son silly. He was 6 days old, I’m still traumatised. Now he’s 4 months and has the driest ezecma prone skin. It’s heartbreaking I’m trying everything. My partner said he had ezecma as a baby/kid, but when I ask my mother in law she lies and says he didn’t when I know he did. How could he not? You scrubbed your son just like how you scrubbed mine. I’ve tried everything, creams, baths, no soap just water like how I would have wanted to do from the beginning. I can’t help but feel so much resentment. She got to do her silly ritual for her grandson and F off and now I’m left with a baby with such sensitive ezecma dry skin. I hate her for it, our relationship has never been the same since my baby was born. I’ve told my partner how I feel and he understands but it’s his mum so he feels like he can’t do or say anything. Any way I just wanted to rant. If anyone is of Nigerian descent and has had this done to their child, what did you do to help them? Did they have dry skin too? Or if anyones child has dry or ezecma prone skin, what did you do?

Thank you.

Nap routine?

When is the best time to start getting a routine in with napping? And what do you do, eg put them in crib, contact nap, let them fall to sleep on you then transfer them, what if your out? I feel a bit clueless with it all x

Period after 5 weeks

Hello,
Just wondering if there any other women out there who got their period after 5 weeks. I am exclusively breastfeeding as well. It looks like my normal period flow but wanted to check if there were any other women out there who’ve had a similar experience.

Nappy brands

What nappies is everyone using? We are having regular poonami’s and have tried a few different brand and sizing up 😩

Feel down after Health Visitor review

Had the 9 to 12 month review today. They said he’s lost some weight and is on the 25th percentile and I need to drop milk feeds and just focus on solids. I’ve been giving him 3 meals a day but he doesn’t always want it and will want milk afterwards. They say to breastfeed for as long as possible but now I’m being told to stop offering so much. So when should I breastfeed him? It doesn’t help that he usually needs feeding to sleep. His sleep is terrible but rather than be given advice I was told it was wrong to co sleep despite the last health visitor we saw recommending it! I just feel so confused and like I’m doing everything wrong

How do you actually put the baby into the Moses basket/cot without them waking up

Guys every single time I put my 5 week old down into his SNOO or his Moses basket or basically anywhere that isn’t my arms he wakes up within 1 minute. I’ve tried swaddling him - started with the halo one and now tried to arms up love to dream because of the startle reflex but still no luck. I’m putting him down slowly, so does my husband but we’re exhausted.
