i think i’ve been going through postpartum depression, and it's been really hard, especially since I'm mostly on my own until 7pm every day no help with the dad and crying when she does and i just don’t know what to do i’ve lost all interest in doing anything besides sleeping. i’ve been crying all the time mad all the time feeling like i’ve lost everything that makes me the happiest and makes me feel like i’m worth more then i or anybody else would think

I’m so sorry you’re going through all of that! You are definitely not alone though. Hormones are going crazy still and taking care of a baby all day is such a change and adjustment. Keep reaching out to people and talking about how you’re feeling and reach out to your doctor. They can be a good source to talk to about signs of ppd and ways to possibly help. Hang in there mama!

look into taking zurzuvae it’s a 14 day anti depressant made for PPD, if not ashwaganda is a natural antidepressant/ stress reliever. Your mental health is so important for your kid so see if someone can stop by to wash dishes and cook and if your partner can take an extra day off sometime soon

I am so sorry.. You’re taking a big step by sharing your experience, it’s so important and you are heard, i see you!

Dummies🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Has anyone got any tips on how to GET RID of dummies😂🤦🏼‍♀️ my little girl is obsessed and i have no idea where to start!!

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😢💗

Breastfeeding

Does it ever feel better? The actual feeding part of it is going really well and baby boy is growing so well. I’m struggling with how my boobs feel day to day - it’s really getting me down most days. The let downs make me feel awful and sounds silly but, I am also really missing not wearing a bra! 9 weeks postpartum and still getting fairly engorged, even with comfort pumping.

Any advice or just shared stories would help. I’m so torn between carrying on because I enjoy the feeding side of it or switching to formula.

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?

Strange question

Hello. I would identify myself as asexual but yes i am married and i have a child. But now that ive had my baby. I think its solidified that im done having sex. I feel bad as my partner keeps asking me but i just dont want to. Any advice on what i can do? Any other asexual moms out there? I guess this could be confusing but im not huge on being bound by a label. I have just always felt it represented me best since highschool.
