Saggy boobs post birth

I'm sure many other women feel me on this one but how the hell am I meant to love my body again?

I had twins last year and for the most part I still love a lot of my body and have no issues in my appearance. I've lost almost 3 and a half stone since their birth in December, so everything is a bit funky looking if you look for too long 🤣

I've got no butt anymore, my stomach has wrinkles due to the loose skin and all my tattoos have shifted/ warped slightly. I can live with all of that as with time they will likely change again.

However, the boobs! They used to be quite small years ago then I put on a lot of weight and got big. Then I got pregnant and they got even bigger. Then obviously post birth I had the joys of getting engorged as I was breastfeeding. My journey with breastfeeding has come to an end and now I am just weaning off expressing but OMG! The sagging it's insane. I hate how they look so much, my nipples are wrinkled!!!! The breast itself wrinkles if I lift my arms it's just horrid. How do I learn to live with this? I would get the surgery to fix it if I could afford it.

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

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. 🩵

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

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.
