Day 3 crying

Please tell me it’s normal to be so weepy on day 3???!! I don’t even really know why I’m crying. Just a huge sense of overwhelm, tiredness, anxiety for the upcoming night! Needing some reassurance please x

It's absolutely normal, sweetheart. Your body is going through a lot and hormones can make things crazy.

Its normal, and my hv said its usual to happen for at least the first 2 weeks of pp 🫂 x

I still cry lol not as often now but I’ve been so emotional. I had my 6 weeks pp appt and my OB said that the 2 weeks pp are the most difficult (hormones, adapting, etc). So yeah, unless this is getting in the way of you doing anything else and/or you are having thoughts that relates to harming yourself or the baby, that is normal and does get better. ❤️

It is definitely normal!! I was absolutely terrible to the point everyone was worried about me. Even my midwife suggested that i may need to see GP etc. after about a week it got better but the anxiety in the afternoons continued for maybe another week. Im just over 3 weeks pp now and still have my weepy moments - think this is mostly due to lack of sleep and the huge change that has happened. I can barely put the baby down during the day and feel as though I practically stuck with the baby all day. I love him but it’s overwhelming. Use all the support you can get and if anyone offers any kind of help please take it! Xx

It’s totally normal, especially the first couple weeks. Those hit hardest from what I’ve gathered 💕 it gets easier and you start understanding yours and baby’s schedules better and getting in the swing of things. It takes time and there’s a lot of uphills to climb. But trust that you’ve got this girl! I’m sure you’re doing great as a momma already 💕☺️ keep up the good work, don’t be too hard on yourself through this, and REMEMBER TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF THROUGH IT! I still struggle immensely with this myself.

Thanks everyone - in my head I know it’s hormones and the huge changes in my body but still sucks at the time!!

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

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.
