Strain on relationship
Hi ladies, I have found that since having my baby 16 months ago my husband and I have become very stressy and argumentative with each other. It’s like you have a baby and are so exhausted by it, that you forget about one another and being in love to make this baby. I just wondered how others have managed this and getting back on track with one another xx

It took us a while, but it was just finding out how to balance everything. Essentially for us, we needed to found our routine and how to help each other and that massively helped. We started doing the golden hour, where one cleans whilst the other one plays/watched little one and it massively helped us. Because we could both see the effort, we instantly seemed to appreciate each other more and then when baba was in bed, we were free to spend quality time together. If we are upset in anyway we have proper time to discuss it, if not we can chill together and actually enjoy each other's company again
I second the above, we also do the golden hour helps us both feel less like we are doing everything alone. We also dedicate the first hour of him been asleep to have a quick snuggle and a catch up
Thank you both so much, I’ve just suggested golden hour to my husband and he likes the idea xx
What helps us massively is to have a routine. Baby goes to bed 7:30-8pm (very strict on this time) so we have the evening for each other.
Im still bf so night wakes are on me, and she still wakes up 2-3times. So we aim for that once a week to cosleep with baby, but mainly sleep only the two of in our bedroom.
