Baby crying rant

Anyone else feels angry when their baby is crying and cannot be settled?
My 3 month old stopped taking boob to soothe so now I’m struggling to find way to calm him down.

He’s always crying after ~1 of wake time and he wants to sleep but it is really hard to put him down to sleep without using boob. He just stopped taking it. He still eats when he’s hungry but only for 5-10 minutes and when he’s done he’s done.

Any suggestions?? I really feel like I’m going to loose my ming as it feels like he’s crying non stop. I haven’t left the house because of it and I’m worried if he will do that in public and I’ll feel like worst mother ever.

my little girl started not to settle on the boob she sometimes does but when she is over tired is when she cries and the boob doesn’t work. I will draw the curtains if we are home to help her fall asleep whilst standing and singing with music on. She also done this when I was out in a cafe but where I knew it was because she was tired I just stood up carried on talking and she nodded off

I still boob but sometimes he doesn’t take it nowadays if he is overtired. I have to put my little one on the sling and sometimes hold the dummy in for a good 10 min and he falls asleep. A lot of bouncing though

A lot of bouncing does the trick! Also if I’m not sure why she is crying, I’ll always hold her so she’s forward facing and this tends to distract her/comfort her x

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.

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?

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.
