Is mounjaro allowed to be taken whilst breastfeeding? Iām not on it yet, but considering it as itās the only thing that helps me lose some weight due to my health conditions.

Tired 10 weeks postpartum mum needing reassurance from formula-feeding mums š
Hi mums, Iām 10 weeks postpartum and feeling so burnt out. My baby doesn't latch, so Iāve been pumping and mixed feeding. Pumping is exhausting me, and Iām really thinking about quitting.
Because I work in healthcare, the guilt is hitting me hard and I keep overthinking the benefits of breast milk. But my mental and physical health are slipping.
Would love to hear from moms whose babies are 100% formula-fed. Please tell me your formula babies are thriving and that you got your sanity back! Need some reassurance today. š

Bedtime
When should I start getting my little one into a bed routine? Heās 2 months old and will go to bed with me.. normally I donāt go to bed until 10pm due to having other kids and cleaning up etc.. but is it a good idea to be getting him into his own routine and setting up a monitor in his cot or is it too early for him?

7 week old baby wonāt sleep
Iām genuinely at a loss. My 7 week old will not sleep on a night time. Everytime she falls asleep in my arms I go to put her down and she wakes up instantly is awake for hours afterwards

Is this a manipulation tac tic from my partner?
Baby is 7 weeks old, Iāve been tripple feeding due to weight issues/tongue tieā¦Iāve been doing all the nights on my own. My partner quite often sleeps in the spare room and gets full nights sleeps. Even if he sleeps in bed with me, he sleeps through babyās cries. Even if I try to wake him up to ask him to change a nappy while I sort my pumps out, he doesnāt even wake up from me.
So anyways, tonight I kindly asked my partner if he could have the baby just for the first half of the night because Iām ill & I didnāt get any sleep yesterday. It was awful, baby was so unsettled I think she had tummy pains she hadnāt pooped in a long time. And on top of this, his parents have given me a rotten cold. So I just want to get a solid block of sleep even if itās just 3 hours. Just to try to recover. This is the first time Iāve ever asked for anything.
His response was āyeah okay but Iām not gonna go bed then Iām just gonna stay up all night on the iPad, Iām not taking my pillows, Iād rather not sleep at all than get broken sleepāā¦.i just said āno you have work in the morning just try to get some sleepā and i mentioned that I have to do the broken sleep day in, day out. He then started shouting at me saying āwhy are you kicking off at me just be grateful that Iām doing this for youāā¦ā¦.
Excuse me. Grateful? š
And I wasnāt kicking off I calmly just said this is what Iām expected to do every day and wake up feeling amazing the next day.
I feel like thatās his way of making me feel guilty & awful, so that I never ask him again.
Today all heās kept saying is āwhat the f is wrong with you todayā just purely because Iām unwell & not as energised.
Mate Iāve been surviving off no sleep for 7 weeks & now Iāve caught a bug thatās completely wiped me out. Even when he comes come from work, he canāt settle baby. She screams in his arms endlessly. The second I take her, sheās silent. Iām the only one who can soothe her. So I donāt even get a break when he comes home. And now Iām ill from your selfish parents & having to continue as normal & not sleeping.
But I have to be upbeat and happy 24/7ā¦.when you physically cannot do ONE night of broken sleep with the baby ?
All I did was try to tell him to put himself In my shoes and understand how that sounds and feels. Iāve never said to him ājust be grateful that Iām doing this for youā when Iāve been up all night with his daughter & when he is ill.
When I mentioned to him that this feels a bit manipulative, he stormed out of the room and slammed the door. He didnāt want to hear it. But I do feel like he does that so that he gets his own way.
Iām really really struggling postpartum. Like badly. I donāt have a village. I donāt have any close family or friends. Heās all I have. And this is the treatment Iām getting. All I wanted was a couple of hours while Iām unwell.
During this argument he was giving it all this sarcasm like āare you ever wrong, you canāt do anything wrong can youā.
Feel like heās just been so disrespectful.
Every evening he also moans that dinner isnāt ready soon enough. Heās never just gone and cooked a meal us. If baby is glued to me and he is free, I donāt see why he canāt make some food if heās so hungry. Sometimes I feel like Iām taking care of 2 kids.
