They can get a version of post partum that’s like feelings of being left behind and jealousy. It’s a real thing lol, but also obviously really frustrating.

Omg yesss. We had an argument Friday night and he said he feels like now that I got my baby and dog I’m leaving him behind. I said behind where? I’m not leaving! He said I have no time for him. I said dude I have no sex drive don’t you thin that bothers me? It’s my body. I told him I try to make time for him but he’s drinking more so it’s not like I can use his help. And to make matters worse I have to go back to work in 11 days! How am I suppose to feel comfortable with him watching our daughter when he cants stay sober? He swears he’s going to be able to not drink now but idk. Then has the nerve to say come on let’s mKe another baby! WTH….no way!

Listen I totally get it, they get really childish and it’s horrible. I know a lot of them say “that they get jealous now that the baby is the most important person in your life” which like I was really judgemental of and I was like wtf, but then I learned it’s a real thing but also wtf. I totally get the leaving for work thing too, you’re like trying to do everything and he’s throwing a weird tantrum.

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? 🥲

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.

Did I overreact?

I have had 3 c sections, recently had a wisdom teeth removal (4) to be exact and all my mom did was visit the day BEFORE and then she only sent 1 text. She has NEVER spent one full day with me and doesn’t acknowledge my achievements much. She just isn’t there when I need her to be. She claims she’s always working but she lives like 7 minutes away! she can come help with the kids so my husband can have break? we don’t ask her for much and she only sees the kids 1-2 a month. She also didn’t visit with my last c section. I told her that she should’ve gotten the abortion when she had the chance with me because why would you have me and neglect me emotionally? To not actually give me a present father in my life. I am very angry all she does is disappoint me. She only wants to show up for certain people in the family and I just want to grab her and shake her and ask her why can’t she be a good present mother?
