No naps

Is anyone else's baby just deciding they don't want to nap today 😅. I keep trying to put my LB down for a nap when he's tired and doing his nap routine, but it's like he just doesn't want to today! He was up most of the night as well from teething, so I thought he'd be exhausted, but he just won't nap. He normally has 2 naps a day now ranging from 30 minutes to an hour, but he just won't have it!

Yes same!!!! Until about 20 minutes ago. He was ridiculously overtired and cranky for like two hours before finally passing out. I know it’s the danger zone but I can’t bring myself to wake him yet because I haven’t had a minute of peace all day!

Same! He finally crashed at half 4 after having his dinner and bottle, but I'm too scared to wake him! He's been so tired all day, and I tried everything to get him to sleep, but now that he is, I'm too scared to wake him, but I still want him to sleep tonight 😂

It’s so hard 😭 I’m sure tonight will be terrible because of how today’s gone. Motivating myself to get him up and put him in the pram so I can go down to the corner shop for a bottle of wine that I do definitely deserve 🙈

@Allie, my little one, ended up waking up, but I agree with we both definitely deserve a bottle of wine after today 😂. Treat yourself though it's hard enough being a mum, but days like this just make it 10x harder x

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. 🩵

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

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?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

I feel like just a milk cow

Hi I have a 16 day old via c section, I'm a FTM never having been around babies before as I am the youngest of my household and from a small family. My husband is fantastic with our little one. But ever since I've had the baby I just feel like the only thing I'm good for is producing milk. I feel disconnected from my husband like the only reason he's around is because am producing milk. We were having some issues before the baby and we're struggling it took a while to feel like he was onboard even though he said he was from the moment we found out. I dunno if I'm feeling like a spear part because I'm lacking confidence with baby or because I feel like he wouldn't mind being a single dad. Is this postpartum hormones or something else?

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Crawling

Did anyone’s little one start crawling yet? I feel like we are falling behind but really have no idea. I’m trying to introduce more floor time but it’s been rough because of having hardwood floors and our 80 lb oblivious to life dog. I got us a carpet for the living room and trying to put the dog out more when the weather allows. She sits like a pro and will roll to get the things she needs😅 but no real signs of crawling yet.
