There’s a few posts like this on here that many women have replied on but I got mine 6m pp, all of my friends were over a year, and some women got theirs back after 3 months. It really depends!

I’ve been wondering the same! I’ve had some cramping and pms-like symptoms and keep thinking it might be happening soon but fortunately not yet🤣

I got mine 5 months pp and it’s been regular ever since 🥲

Just got mine back last week at just over 8month pp. With my first it took until 10 months pp.

Nothing yet, still waiting

Still waiting

I got mine around 4month PP, I believe? It was earlier than I expected. Its much heavier now and I hate it. 😒

Still haven’t gotten mine, I was hoping for it sooner so we could bust out another one close in age to our first lol

I got mine 2 months PP and my supply tanked😔. So I have been formula feeding since

6 months, I was so disappointed. I was hoping it wouldn’t come back until after I stopped breastfeeding.

4 months for me. I went back to work at 3 months and was pumping at work and also he started sleeping through the night occasionally. And it's been regular since then.

Around 4 months pp but it’s not regular yet

5 weeks postpartum!

I got mine at 5 weeks pp 😭 but I breastfed for about a week, so I think that's partly to do with it

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Pumping advise

FTM to a 2 week old! I’m breastfeeding and then giving one formula bottle last in the evening before bed. I want to start expressing milk to give me some breathing room and also allow my partner to be more involved in feeding. I’m finding the idea of introducing pumping into my day quite overwhelming though. I don’t want to take milk away from my baby by pumping if he needs it during the day when being breastfeed.

Can anyone advise how I start pumping and when to do it? Thank you!

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.
