General Feeding / Napping times

Hi all, I'm curious about what your baby's days look like for an average day.
What times roughly are feedings / what times are naps?
Are they on two naps or still three?

Obv I know times change and no day is the same.. just trying to wrap my brain around what a rough timeline will look like. My little guy is still taking 3 naps, but has hit a sleep regression (on top of ongoing teething insanity) so I'm trying to prepare for when the third nap drops 😅

My lo Get up between 630-730
He gets a bottle
And solid breakfast midway through
starts his first nap between 930 - 10 we don’t let him sleep for more than 2 hours (but sometimes we wakes up after an hour)
Another bottle
A pouch
Down for second nap starting at 1 -3 depending on when he woke up from first nap

He gets a bottle when he wakes up, a pouch and a little dinner and then a mini bottle before bed around 730

@michelle thank you!! Can I ask, how many oz does he usually drink in a day?

We don't have a solid eating schedule yet. But his first nap is two hours after he wakes up in the morning and his second nap is 2-4pm

We range between 6-8 oz bottles 4 times a day!

We dropped the third nap about a month and a half-two months ago and I was so stressed about it! Here’s our rough schedule:
Wake up between 7-7:30 and nurse
Breakfast around 9
Nap at 10:30 - sometimes it’s a two hour nap, sometimes it’s 30 minutes and the second one is long so here’s where it changes. Nurse
Lunch around 1 if he’s up around 11:30 or lunch around 2 if he’s up around 12:30.
Second nap anywhere between 2:30-3:45 usually until 4-4:30
Nurse
Dinner around 6
Nurse and bedtime around 8

I think Motherhood has made me more bitter than I realized…

This is such a ramble but I don’t know where else to put it all.

I’m four months in and I don’t really have hobbies right now. I don’t do anything for myself except maybe doomscrolling or listening to a podcast while I breastfeed my baby. I used to craft and have game nights with friends. Activities that usually are at least 2 hour stretches. Now if I have an hour free my mind immediately goes to baby, or doing something in the house for baby.

And I thought I didn’t mind. Like I knew postpartum could be very mentally consuming. But I think it’s altering how I view people around me and it’s prodding at my relationship with my husband.

He spends most of his time making food for us, looking after our dogs, playing with the baby, ect. But he still has time for his hobby. Spends maybe an hour a night on it. Even adapted to using a bot for shopping for his hobby after a certain incident where we had to have a heart to heart after he left me home alone with the baby for hours during a busy workday (I work from home) to shop for his hobby.

And yet there’s like this little green eyed monster in me that rages every time I know he’s running off to start up the bot. Even though I’m the reason he does it this way.

We took a family trip last weekend to see his best friend and their kids and let them meet the baby. He brought the laptop. He’s always brought a laptop on trips and it’s never been a problem to me before. But one night we both woke up while the baby was still asleep, and he wandered out of the room. I tried to fall back asleep but couldn’t. So I went to the kitchen to try having something warm to drink to settle me. And he was there at the table running the bot from his laptop. I flipped out at him. But there really wasn’t reason to. It’s not like I needed help with the baby and he was ignoring me. He wasn’t avoiding our friends. He was just awake and unable to sleep and found something to do with his time. Yet my snap reaction was “why the hell would you do this on a family trip?”

I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s the less complete sleep from baby’s middle of the night feed? My brain being just consumed by baby? Maybe I’m not as over that shopping incident as I thought? But I’m just so annoyed at his hobby right now. The green eyed monster thinks “you could be using that time differently” but realistically to do what exactly??? Stare at our baby in the dark???

I spent probably an hour apologizing to him after I snapped. And he’s of course hurt and frustrated because I said some very mean things in the moment.

I don’t want to be this jealous, angry person. But I also don’t know how to find time for myself in this right now outside of basic hygiene. It’s like I’ve forgotten how to be myself, even if just for an hour.

Maybe I need a therapist.

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.
