New baby = lack of intimacy!?

Since having our daughter the intimacy in my relationship has come to a halt. I get the simple ‘hello’ and ‘bye’ kisses but that’s about it. My daughter is a chilled baby so she’s not getting in the way. It’s triggered a lot of insecurities.

Anyone else experiencing something similar?

I think it’s normal to feel this way for a while as our body and hormones are still adjusting.

I am 5 months PP and only now start to feel like I would like more intimacy. I think at the start it was very much affected by the pain, lack of sleep etc. but as little one became more settled and I managed to get more rest my mood for intimacy improved a lot. I guess this is different for everyone tho.

Leaky nappy advice

We use mamia nappies and have had no issue until now. We are using size 3 but she is leaking through them every night as she sleeps through the night. We’ve tried 4+ for night but they are still too big. Does anyone have any advice or any other brand that might hold more in a size 3?

Circumcision question

So my son got circumcised before leaving the hospital he’s 3 days old and they told me the day after leaving to take it off which is today and just add a lot of Vaseline to the area to help it and when we took him to his pediatrician he told us to just keep adding Vaseline on top of the gauze and it’ll fall off on its own but now I’m worried that it’ll get stuck to his skin if it sits to long. What do you feel I should do

Ms Rachel ??

How many of you are putting ms Rachel on??? I’ve just introduced it to my 8 month old and it’s like sorcery. I feel so guilty putting it on because LO don’t take his eyes off the screen, but it’s the only way I’m getting 20/30 minutes during Velcro baby stage. I’ll put it on twice a day for up to 30 mins at a time, the rest of the time we’re out the house, playing with toys or he’s with me doing jobs around the house. Should I even feel guilty?😩

Is two packs of diapers, a pack of bibs from the registry, a Hape brand baby toy, and a bottle warmer enough to give a first time mom friend at her baby shower?

The bottle warmer is something I already owned (very lightly used) and it’s the brand that goes with the bottles she chose. I offered her mine so she didn’t have to buy one and she was like hell yeah. But now I’m wondering if I’m bringing enough to the shower because the bottle warmer isn’t something I’m purchasing brand new. Lmk!!!!!
