Sleeping too much?

Okay so I appreciate how this is going to sound as I dont think this is a common issue but I'm concerned my newborn sleeps too much? She is 13 days old and at night will sleep comfortably for 6 hours. At the beginning it was more like 4.5/ 5 hours which we still thought was great if a little odd but last night she went nearly 7 hours with us having to wake her up this morning to feed (even then it was straight back to sleep after). Throughout pregnancy she was always very chilled out too but is this excessive? She feeds well, has lots of wet nappies and seems to be gaining weight, we're just slightly concerned by how much she sleeps at night. Should I be worried?

As long as she’s gaining weight it sounds like a great situation, enjoy it and get your rest!

Do you teach your child the proper terms for genitalia (penis/vagina)?

My husband is uncomfortable with our daughter knowing or using the word "penis". Do you teach your child the proper terms? I say it should be normalized but he disagrees because it makes him uncomfortable.

The only time we dont want a mans soft side...

Hey ladies.... i have something I want to just get off my chest. Ive noticed my husband becoming soft pretty early but lately hes been getting softer a lot more while having sex and its hard to enjoy the finish line when it becomes soft mid way . Because men have high ego about this stuff ive never talked to him about it. I know itll embarrass him. And culturally this is still very hash hash. Hes going to be 41 this year but the softness started around late 20s from what I Remmeber or early 30s. I dont think its work stress either. I guess i want to ask if this age is normal? I thought they were good until at least mid 50s?

How to not react? / “Grey rocking”?

TO PREFACE YALL I AM WORKING INCREDIBLY HARD ON GETTING OUT OF THIS SITUATION BUT AS YOU KNOW IT TAKES TIME GETTING THINGS TOGETHER TO LEAVE WITH A BABY. NO I DO NOT HAVE ANYWHERE ELSE TO GO AND AM NOT ACTIVELY LOOKING FOR RESOURCES.

as someone that’s passionate, LATINA, very opinionated HOW DO I STFU. In a situation right now where he is verbally and emotionally abusive. It’s gotten worse. wasn’t always like this. “Shut the fuck up” “Get the fuck out” “Bitch” “Cunt”. girl I’ve heard it all. some days it hits harder and I do run away and cry ..

but i’m at the point where it doesn’t even hurt me or surprise me the things that MF says. so as someone that’s emotional, out spoken, stubborn.. how do i stop reacting!!?! grey rock i think they call it. i know i know “just say Ok” “just walk away”. sometimes after a hard day or week FUCK IT IS SOO HARD TO NOT STICK IT TO THEM YK? like fuck you. trust me i’m not one to be walked on or take it im tired of arguing though. tired of telling him who the fuck he’s talking to. anyways for my own peace of mind.. how?

Sleep training

What are you opinions on it?
Cry out method, Forbes and others?
Past experiences?
My 2.5 yo still need us in the room on the bed with him until he falls asleep, although sweet and all sometime it may take even over an hour.
I refused to sleep training him before because I couldn’t handle the cry, but now my 5 months old really doesn’t sleep at all from 1 am he’d wake up every 30-45 minutes and I’m exhausted. Spending so much time with mu 2 yo to put him to sleep then my baby…
Help!

Need urgent advice!

Hi moms, I really need some advice. My 2-year-old still doesn’t sleep through the night and wakes up anywhere from 3 to 7 times. She eats well, is generally healthy, and is meeting all her milestones. She drinks Aptamil Pepti 2 before bed.
I’m starting to worry this isn’t normal and that I might be missing something. I’d really appreciate any advice, has anyone been in a similar situation? Did you take your child to see a GP or a specialist?
