Im so sorry you are having this experience. Its worse for some than it is for others. Its all hormones. Huge changes inside and outside of your body. Its not in your head. Its in your biology. But it gets better. Don't worry. You didnt come this far to only come this far.

Could be PPD! I would definitely try talking to someone about how you feel, even if not therapy someone you know and trust with a lot. It’s good to get stuff out! Stay strong love❤️

Yea i understand give ur self graces as ur body is going thru a huge hormonal change. I would talk to ur obgyn , therapist and might need to take meds. I get it I understand u

Washing liquid

Hi! I can’t stand the weird smell of any of the blue non bio washing stuff. Is there anything else that can be used for washing newborn? Something that smells a bit better 😬

Dream feeding

Hi
I need to stop dream feeding my baby at night when he wakes up. How do you do this or transition? He is mainly breastfed but I’ve started to give a bottle on the night on the last feed before he sleeps

Health visitors

Has anyone else told the health visiting team that you dont require them to come and they have still booked appointments anyway. Like its my third child I dont need you to come patronise me! Sorry hormonal rant 😂

Anyone else?

Anyone else a c section, co sleeping, breastfeeding mama and your body is just in bits? I don’t know if my bed is just uncomfortable postpartum or if it’s my body and cosleeping/breastfeeding positions. I feel like stretching helps a little but my hips and lower back especially are awful, but generally I just feel so achy and uncomfortable most of the time. Is it just me?
