Cluster feeding

It’s begun and I’m so annoyed. My baby has been on me all day and constantly feeding. I feel like screaming. It’s enough to make me want to quit breastfeeding. Someone please give me words of encouragement to get through this. Im so touched out 😩😩😩😩

Mines cluster feed at birth and still is I just wait until I have freetime or when my baby fall asleep than I can rest or do what I need to do.....get a baby carrier and put baby in I breast feed from my carrier too my baby 3 weeks

I would give baby some pumped breast milk and have someone else feed baby so you can have a break

good idea

You’re exhausted so just start listing things to be grateful for and you’ll feel more humbled hopefully 🙏 🫶

My baby fed 5 times in 3 hours yesterday.

After that I handed him to my husband and said you need to hold him for an hour. I have nothing left to feed him.
My boobs felt like deflated balloons.

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Don’t want to leave my first born😭😭😭

Anyone else extremely sad and anxious to leave their first born😭

He’s 2 and we have never not put him to bed or be here for when he wakes up😭

I’m so sad and anxious about leaving him

Crying during feeding

Hey mams! My girl is 6 weeks on Monday and is having so much trouble with feeding. It doesn’t happen every feed but more often than not she will start a bottle and just start crying as if she’s in pain and she can’t take the milk. I think it’s trapped wind but I genuinely don’t know what to do it’s so pitiful to see her not be able to feed! She’s formula fed and on HiPP Organic.
Anyone else been in this position? I’m pretty sure it’s just a bit of trapped wind that she needs to fart out but can’t! If anyone has any advice I’d be very grateful as I think I may need to tape my eyelids open soon 😂

No more naps! 10 month old

For a few days now my 10m old has fought her 2 daily naps. Normally her wake windows were 3-4 hours and she is now eventually napping after a 6 hour wake window. Today was only one nap, she skipped the second one. Used to nap like clockwork so I’m wondering if anyone else is experiencing this? Also very unsettled most nights and doesn’t sleep well at all
