Depression

I am really struggling at the moment, since becoming a mummy I feel like I’ve lost myself and became extremely isolated has this happened to anyone else. At the moment I’m just praying for light at the end of the tunnel 🙏🏼

You're not alone in this feeling ♥️. Hope you're doing ok. Have you got a good support network or partner? I'd recommend just getting out for a walk or treating yourself to a massage or getting hair or nails done. I went through post natal depression and these lil things helped at the time. Speaking to other mums helps too so please feel free to message. Its so hard to find to find yourself again but you will get there

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.
