Postpartum depression?

How do you know what's depression Vs just circumstance?

I'm feeling low but surely that's normal- as not sleeping due to regression, in the trenches with baby and toddler and partner roommate vibes. No money etc.
Not wanting to leave the house or do anything but surely that's lack of energy due to exhaustion?

Just feel a bit numb to It all. Is this normal?

I think its different for everyone, and everyone handles situations different but my health visitor said it would be worth exploring if I felt numb and no happiness in situations and you done things because they had to be done and felt no emotions in the situations hope this helps a little x

Whether it's PPD or not, it sounds like you need some support. Ring your HV's team and repeat what you've said here. They should help you come up with a plan to get you back in track and feeling better again.

My baby is not even 4 days old and loves to roll on his left side to sleep.

No matter how many time I correct him back on his back he still rolls over. Should I be concerned? His bassinet isn’t wide enough for him to fully roll. When he side lays he can’t go farther than that.

I decided to give my fiancé the baby and finally take a nap being that I was on go for almost 24hrs straight! I’ve told him a NUMEROUS amount of times that he has to turn the a/c when he puts her in her bassinet bc the air goes directly over here

I just woke up to my baby crying and literally shivering to the point her lips were starting to turn purple. And he’s SLEEP!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

I want to punch him awake so bad. How do I bring it up to him without crashing out??

Cradle cap

Looking for recommendations. He’s 6 months and I have just left it but it’s not getting better. I’ve seen coconut oil is best, can I just use any sort for him please?

(UK based products and hopefully something I can get from Superdrug as I’m doing an order 😂)
