Just venting

Lately I’ve been feeling like just a mom. 25/8 SAHM, I wake up clean, cook, laundry, grocery shopping, take care of the babies, bathe, clothe, etc etc and still have dinner on the table.. feels like insanity, the same day over and over again.
I love my babies and husband! 100 percent love love and I make sure they know it every day.
It feels so hard though at hour 23 I want to be left alone, sit and do nothing all by myself and then feel guilty about it

And I know I want a break from the house, the chores, being the one everyone needs answers from

Does the mom guilt ever go away

Does it get easier 😭

TAKE IT MAMA! If you need the break take it. Invite someone, look for an event, go somewhere, book a massage or go movies or beach by yourself whatever you wanna go tell him this is what I’m doing on this day at this time I want you home w the babies so I can go have a couple hrs out of the house. Or kick them out of the house to park and you take the house. If we don’t plan our breaks no one’s gonna give them to us. My hubby offers. “Why don’t you go see a friend” but unless I pick up that phone and call her out, it ain’t happening. Make it happen mama.

100% what Kellie said. It might feel easier to have a fixed day or fixed morning for yourself every week. For example for me it is wednesday morning, husband takes care of house and baby and i relax or do my thing until lunchtime. No matter what, this wednesday is mine and it has made a massive difference! 🥰

“Guilt,I don’t know her “ I love that😂 aww thank you so much ladies ♥️♥️♥️

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Dummies🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Hi ya'll

Is anyone else's 4 month old randomly screeching now? I'm not sure what to do and she's been doing this for the past two days. She's usually a quiet happy baby so im not sure why she's doing this now. Aby suggestions?

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.
