PPD struggles 3 months later

Am I the only one who feels more emotional now than right when my son was born. I feel like I can’t help but get upset, angry, or just overall emotional for the past 2 weeks.. most likely induced because of stress but Its taking a hit on my relationship.

I don’t know if it’s ppd or just the hormones but I keep taking it out on my partner and I feel horrible afterwards :(

I keep getting upset and overreacting to the smallest and silliest of things and I’m starting to get upset with myself over it :/

4 months PP and same!! I'm so glad I'm not alone! I think its just all finally caught up and it will pass. I'm just trying to be mindful but also explaining that some times even just help for 5 minutes can make my day %100 better. And also when bubs asleep I'm making sure I give myself time to chill. The washing up and laundry will still be there for his next nap.

I’m suffering from the same thing. You aren’t alone !!

I was this person (still am but has got better) but what helps to make it better is speaking your heart off with someone who wont judge you or hold you accountable for what you say.
Also if you can, get in touch with your gp. Can help with psychology.
I am taking sessions for the same.

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

My little one is struggling with sleep

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
