I just feel like I have to write this

I just lost my uncle. He had throat cancer but just last week drs confirmed it was officially gone , he was cancer free! Fast forward to two days ago. He was watching his granddaughter and it was just him and her he passed away while taking a bath. What makes matters worse is my Aunt (his wife) just passed away over the winter. My heart breaks for their kids (my cousins) and the grandchildren. The grandchildren were all so close to them. My cousin sent me his obituary this morning and just seeing his picture has had me emotional all day. I’ve been crying on and off since this morning. Just feel bad feeling like this and not being able to pull myself out of it and be present with my husband and daughter. The whole thing is just so sad. My aunt and uncle were both only in their 50s.

I am so sorry for your loss. Sending all the love and strength during this difficult time.

It's ok to feel how you are feeling. You are grieving. Let yourself grieve. Don't feel you have to hide it either. Grief is part of life.

I lost my grandfathers within 2 months of each other and my job in between. I grieved heavily. I still grieve.

Feel those feels, hug your husband and daughter, and be kind to yourself ❤️

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😢💗

Big nursing bras!

I’m looking for recommendations for good nursing bras for bigger breasted ladies!

I’m currently in a 38H which seems to be the biggest size done at M&S (UK based mama here) and it’s snug and not as supportive as I’d like. When I look online, they mainly seem to be sized S, M, L, XL etc rather than bra sizes.

Any recommendations please?

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 😂
