PPD

I think I'm struggling with PPD. My daughter is 4months old In a few days and I have been fine but this last week I've been so alone like I have people around me just feel so alone. People come to visit.... But it's always to see my baby never see how I am.. I feel so alone And my husband doesn't understand... He's been great but I've just been balling my eyes out the last few days😭😭 I feel so overwhelmed and out of control with my emotions. Help.

Girl! I know the feeling and you are not alone, I felt the same way for a couple of days but it went away, try to do some self care, talk to your husband and try to give yourself sometime to reconnect. It’s hard I know, no one seems to understand what you are going thru right now

I struggle too. PPD is so rough. I find it hard to see myself as a separate person with individual needs because I'm always taking care of the babies. I remind myself this time period is temporary and even though I'll be so relieved when it's over, I will miss certain things about it. I started a gratitude journal, I'm hoping it helps me shift my mindset. I hope you can find ways to cope and I hope you remember to prioritize yourself. Put your oxygen mask on first. đŸ€

I was about 3 or 4 weeks pp when I hit the point I knew what I was feeling wasn’t just baby blues. I’m now 3 months and a bit pp and on a 2-in-1 medication for depression and anxiety and am in therapy. There are still hard days but they don’t feel so hard I feel like I can’t cope or function and I have more good days then bad now❀ You know your mental health the best so if you feel you need help talk to your doctor, if you want to wait a few days to see that’s completely fine too

Did you know this was a thing?

Didn’t know this existed! I’m actually not breastfeeding 2nd time round (though wish I did) after a bad experience with my 1st baby. But this is something I 100% needed 1st time round.

Screeching baby

I have twin boys, 5months.

One is very quiet

The other... is like a pterodactyl who screeches when bored, tired, hungry, as soon as he wake up to be held etc...
This habit has only just started!

Has anyone else experienced this and how long did it last?
So far it has been about 5 days 😭😭😭😭

Joie Signature Parcel LX lightweight stroller

Has anyone got this stroller? Up until now we have used our mamas and papas ocarro and we love it. However we are going on holiday in June and looking at a lightweight stroller to take with us. I'm not bothered if it fits in overheard locker, I would rather have decent wheels on the stroller and this one does have slightly bigger wheels than most travel strollers we have seen. Has anyone used this stroller abroad or got any other recommendations? TIA x

Fighting naps

Does anybody else feel like they spend all day trying to get baby to nap? I get tempted to give up as he must not be that tired but he is too cranky to play or do anything else!
