Can I ask how many days / weeks postpartum you are lovely?? Xxx
@Charlotte 3 weeks pp tomorrow
I can’t comment on the wee one because I am aware it is their method of communication. Have you tried a dummy? Or a blanket of some sort as a comfort. On the other hand with your partner.. I totally get where you are coming from. I am the exact same 🤦🏻♀️. It’s tough. If you need to chat I am here. I am over 3 weeks PP now.. reaching 4 😬 xx
I’m day 11, still no breast milk. Keep crying. Night sweats. Think a lot of this is normal darl … well not my lack of milk, but the other stuff 🧸🫧🤍🍼🎀🧸
In the same boat x 15days PP
I'm 4 weeks pp and have been feeling odd towards my husband too. I'm just putting it down to hormones and maybe some kind of nerves as he goes back to work on Tuesday. For the baby, some people have suggested a dummy which could work but if she's fed, changed etc then you could try putting her to sleep in a swaddle? My boy has a swaddle at night as he sleeps better in it, it makes them feel safe. I have the ergobaby swaddle, you can get them for a fiver on vinted x
It is definitely worth contacting your health visitor and midwife and telling them how you feel. Xxx
I'm 7 months PP and I still have huge resentment towards my partner. I love him and hate him at the same time. I feel as much as I try to not point score or keep tally, it's hard when I solo parent every week day and at the weekends he doesn't step up. It's like he's constantly awaiting my approval to be with his daughter which infuriates me. I have zero time to myself, I'm so sleep deprived as I do 90% of the night as well.. so I feel you hun, lots of love ❤️
@Becky reading your comment just made me want to cry! I’m 2 weeks PP and so sleep deprived and when I see my husband relax and watch TV it infuriates me.
@F. Oh darling, hopefully your husband will step up sooner than mine does. Its so difficult and I found mine would "ignore" and "forget" she was there because all she did was eat, sleep and poop.. but to me, I found the newborn stage hard but so magical and now I have an amazing bond with our little girl and he doesn't but thats his loss and when I took the pressure off myself about their relationship, it helped.. but its so tough. Xx
@F. Feel free to message me any time xx
I can’t speak on behalf of feelings towards your partner but this is so normal to feel this way. Im exactly the same I’ve cried every day for some reason and full of anxiety, remember babies cry as well because they don’t know how else to communicate, doesn’t necessarily means they’re sad. My little one cries and she doesn’t even have tears 😂 I’ve found playing music to her, singing, giving her a dummy when changing has really helped. You’ve got the remember they’re trying to adjust to a strange new world where all they’ve known is in your belly. My midwife said that when you give birth all the hormones you built up during pregnancy your body goes I don’t need these anymore and dumps them which sends your mood wild. Just think this is all temporary it’s a brand new way of life you got this and you’re not alone in how you’re feeling ❤️ speak to your health visitor, speak to midwife
