LG waking at 430am!

My LG has always been a really good sleeper at night and usually sleeps all thr way through. We are a week away from hitting 6months and for the last.few days she's been waking at 430 every morning 😴 if I put her on me she will sleep though until 6 so it isn't hunger.. but I am exhausted!! Any tips/advice would be amazing 💕

We’ve just slept trained with a consultant and she said soon as morning risings start to get v early you need to remove some day sleep ❤️ our just 5m old is told 2 hour 45 max a day xx

Thank you! I will certainly give this a try today, she's such a cat napper as it is🙈 I'll see if I can reduce a nap xx

Can she self soothe?
Only as we’ve literally been training 2 days with cold turkey dummy.. and she’s now taking longer naps in the day which is sooo much better for us all 🤣 means I have atleast an hour once or twice to do bits xx

Mine is exactly the same, she always ends up on me some time between 4:30-6am until 7am. We’ve also been working with a sleep consultant and she said that if you’ve started weaning/introducing foods then the digestive system starts to kick in around then and any new foods can cause a bit of discomfort to start with.
But I also second the day sleep, I let my little one take slightly longer naps yesterday and I paid for it when she decided to stay awake and chat to herself for an hour and a half in the night🫠 so I gave her longer wake windows and a little less sleep today and hoping she doesn’t do the same thing tonight🤣 x

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

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.

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.
