After all my kids around 6w-12w pp except 1...

C1 mix fed ppb lasted 8w, first separate period 12w
C2 ebf for 4/5m then mix fed before on formula. Ppb lasted 2-3w, period around 8w.
C3 roughly the same as 2, period was week 7.
C4 ebf for 3m, then mixfed due to working before being formula fed as my supply wasn't enough from that point. Ppb about 2w. Period around week 6.
C5 presently no period still ebf, 4m old.

Finished breastfeeding at 5 months, period returned a month later at 6 months

6 weeks postpartum only a few days after I stopped after birth bleeding… has been regular every month since then. I feel cheated. Breast feeding and menstruating at the same time is for the birds 🥹

Roughly 2.5 - almost years postpartum with my second, third, and fourth child. My fifth child just turned 1, and I’m hoping I get a nice long break from my period, while nursing her as well.

It was longer with my firstborn but I can’t remember how many months afterwards. With my second I believe it was like 8ish months.

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😢💗

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
