Anyone else weird about being touched postpartum

4 months pp and I have no sex drive. Everytime my husband touches me i feel like i want to curl up into a ball and cry. I never used to feel like this, and touch is his love language so it really feels like a barrier for him. He touches my arms or my stomach and I instantly want to shove him off. Another thing too idk if this is normal but I used to be a boob girl iyk and now I can't stand to have them touched or squeezed. I feel like I'm doing something wrong. I felt horny maybe 4 times since having my baby in may.

Personally I’ve been like that before ever falling pregnant, the reason for that was mental health and depression. Do you think you could be struggling with ppd or maybe you’re just drained

So after having a baby sex drive does drop in some people since your body is in mommy mode and doesnt want an other baby yet 🤷‍♀️ is the best way to explain it , but there can be other reasons like your just drained , ppd or other mental things that could be a reason but I do recommend talking to your doctor just incase its not just being drained to help your mental state what can be 100% be fine but it never hurts just to check to be on the safe side

Any September 2025 babies crawling yet

My little one isn’t crawling yet but he loves tummy time

Did you know this was a thing?

Didn’t know this existed! I’m actually not breastfeeding 2nd time round (though wish I did) after a bad experience with my 1st baby. But this is something I 100% needed 1st time round.

Screeching baby

I have twin boys, 5months.

One is very quiet

The other... is like a pterodactyl who screeches when bored, tired, hungry, as soon as he wake up to be held etc...
This habit has only just started!

Has anyone else experienced this and how long did it last?
So far it has been about 5 days 😭😭😭😭

Fighting naps

Does anybody else feel like they spend all day trying to get baby to nap? I get tempted to give up as he must not be that tired but he is too cranky to play or do anything else!

Joie Signature Parcel LX lightweight stroller

Has anyone got this stroller? Up until now we have used our mamas and papas ocarro and we love it. However we are going on holiday in June and looking at a lightweight stroller to take with us. I'm not bothered if it fits in overheard locker, I would rather have decent wheels on the stroller and this one does have slightly bigger wheels than most travel strollers we have seen. Has anyone used this stroller abroad or got any other recommendations? TIA x

Any experience with different teats?

Hey Mamas

So my little girl is exclusively breastfed but she wont even take FRESHLY PUMP milk from the bottle. I had a whole 4oz that was going to waste and baby girl was just massanging her gums and smiling lol :/
Ive tried adding extra holes with a needle, the ol' switcheroo (BF first then switch ti bottle) but she's very keen and notices straight away.
Im currently using Nuby and Tommee silicone bottles, and I would like to try more softer, boob-like teats.

Id ideally like her to take a bottle so Dad can give me a REAL break yknow.

Has anyone had this same experience? Any teats one would recommend?
Thank you in advance!
