I wouldn’t say hate.. moreso resentment towards my husband. My Lo is 17 months, it’s not as bad but i still go through moments depending on the situation 😟

I couldn't stand my husband when I was pregnant. And now he makes my skin crowl. Idk why

As a mom you’re always the default parent, meaning you’re a constant and you literally get no breaks. (A shower or grocery store trip is not a break) it’s easy to fall into a stage of resentment with your partner after having a baby. A LOT of women do. It’s not that you don’t want to be a mom or be present it’s just a wholleeee lot for one person to take on 24/7. & you feel like they don’t truly understand how much work it takes or how exhausting it truly is to be a mom. Talking to your partner about the things they need to step up and help with does put a big ease on things. You have to be direct, most men won’t just step up and do it because they truly don’t know how/what to do. If you need him to take the baby when he gets home for an hour, say that. If you need him to do laundry/dishes and when he gets home, say that! If you need him to take on the bedtime routine, say that! Whatever you need voice it in detail and tell him exactly what you need.

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. 🥺

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? 🥲

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?

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.
