5-6 months postpartum.

4 weeks

6 weeks with first 8 weeks with second

1 and half week, I knew the risks of it , and probably wouldn’t risk again but I was completely fine, just a little pain. Please go by DR advise of 6 weeks though it’s very hypocritical of me to say

3 weeks after a cesarean x

6weeks. It was very tender so we took it very slow and I did most of the work at my own pace until it started feeling differently 😚

5 weeks 6 days pp

7 weeks. I waited for the okay from my doctor and 1 week to make sure my birth control was dependable.

Months! I couldn’t think of anything worse after tearing and stitches

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?
