Developmental

Assuming it’s just developmental but my toddler is being a complete bum hole atm!! (Sorry if you don’t agree with calling your toddler a bum hole but honestly there’s no other word for it 😂)

I've started getting smacks to the face and grabby pinchy hands. Little miss diva. I'm also hoping it's just a phase x

Hahahahahahha we are exactly the same. I’ve been calling my girl stroppy knickers 😅
Worst bit for me is she’ll randomly attack me and then laugh, she’ll go to do it again and I’ll flinch and she finds it even funnier

Surely we can all recognise when our kids are being a bum hole. I'm getting hints of it, buy he's a bit younger atm. Hope you all get through this.. x

Haha 😂 thank you I’m glad to hear it’s not just mine! Hang in there hopefully it’s a passing phase 🤞🏼🤞🏼 x

My boy is definitely going through something atm…pinching my face really hard, slapping..he even bit my nose the other day 😫 really do hope it is just a phase! X

Same here but we secretly call him allot worse! 🤦🏼‍♀️

We have noticed he does it more when wanting attention/tired or hungry and we try to distract asap x

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. 🩵

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

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.

I feel like just a milk cow

Hi I have a 16 day old via c section, I'm a FTM never having been around babies before as I am the youngest of my household and from a small family. My husband is fantastic with our little one. But ever since I've had the baby I just feel like the only thing I'm good for is producing milk. I feel disconnected from my husband like the only reason he's around is because am producing milk. We were having some issues before the baby and we're struggling it took a while to feel like he was onboard even though he said he was from the moment we found out. I dunno if I'm feeling like a spear part because I'm lacking confidence with baby or because I feel like he wouldn't mind being a single dad. Is this postpartum hormones or something else?

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Guilt

Does anyone else feel guilty for every little thing they do? I feel like I need to be entertaining my little one at all times. If I have to put her in the activity center to finish a task, instant guilt. In the car for too long, instant guilt. Replying to work emails instead of interacting with her, instant guilt. I know independent play is good for her but my brain thinks otherwise. Please tell me it gets better, I’d love to shower for more than 10 minutes without it feeling like the world is going to collapse.
