Surgery advice

I’m having lumpectomy surgery in my boob at next week and firstly i’m terrified i’ve never been under General before. Anyway my daughter is almost 2 and i can’t lift her for 6 weeks they say. She has a toddler bed so that’s fine it’s mainly lifting her in and out the pram. I CANNOT stay in the house for 6 weeks 😭 she will walk but she will go 15 mins and want to be picked up. so how would you go about this. i thought about moving pram to sofa and telling her to climb in obviously under supervision however she hates the pram at the best of times and refuses to get in it 9 times out of 10 anyway. What’s the best toddler mum hacks after surgery?

How much sex a month?

How many times a month in the first year postpartum do you and your husband have sex? (Trying to figure out what the normal range is for partners with a baby!)

UK mums - Do you send your child to nursery in stained clothing?

Some of my daughter's clothes have become so stained and most of these stains have happened while she's been at nursery.

I am struggling so much to get the stains out!

I feel like if I send her in stained clothes I'll be judged or looked at weirdly like I can't afford to clean her clothes or something?

What do you do with stained clothes?

Does anyone have tips for stain removal? Red/orange food (I know sunlight but we're going into winter where it's scarce). Brown knee stains? Just like dirt stains? And yellow curry stains 😣 help me please

Bed suggestions please

This is my 4 year olds bedroom.

Can anyone recommend a bed that would fit in the room but not take all her space ?

She’s 109cm tall not sure if that makes any difference 👀.

She does not have 2 tvs the video was taken whilst re organising😂

Controlling behaviour?

If your partner didn’t force you to go to bed at a certain time, but got annoyed if you went to bed before he was ready or wanted to stay down for longer when he wants to go to bed, would that be considered controlling? Seeing as there’s no forcing involved just getting annoyed by it?

Swaddle

Hey! I’m really interested to hear people’s thoughts/experiences with swaddling for newborns? I’ve heard it’s supposed to be great to keep them relaxed etc but also was told yesterday it’s not a method that they use anymore which is completely new to me!! Any thoughts?

Colic

My 6 week old is showing signs of colic (inconsolable crying in the evenings for hours, brings his legs up / kicks around a lot, arches back). He doesn’t really show signs of reflux.
He also refuses to lay in his crib or sleep on his back.

I was just wondering what people did to help this and your experiences? Should I get some Infacol?
