Little girl is 15 weeks

Been struggling with PPD since my lG was born and I'm on medication for it. I started to feel a bit better and more like myself, then the last 2 weeks my partner has been off work on holiday. He returned this week and I feel like it's hit me hard... it was so much easier parenting when he was off with me. And now I'm just feeling the pressure of solo parenting again basically. It doesn't help that my LG was sleeping through the might and the last week she's been unsettled, not napping as normal, waking up multiple times and just being a little bit difficult. I know we're coming up to the regression period but I just feel low and I don't know what to do! Not sure if anyone can relate or what I'm looking for with this post tbh 😔

I can totally relate. I can't really find the words to show how I relate but I do.

I feel lonely all the time and then I don't reply to people when they message me because I'm just too sad. Its super shitty

Motherhood is so hard and super lonely, even when there are people around there is still that sense of loneliness. You don’t feel like yourself anymore and everything seems so different.
I find weekends easier when my partner is with me it’s more the company and just having someone there(as I’m still doing pretty much all feeds changes etc lol)
Do you have someone to talk to about it, or Friends family for some support?
Always here if you need a chat x

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵
