Co-sleeping and a glass of wine?

So this post I know might be a one where you will judge me, but hey I am only human.

I haven’t had any alcohol since before I was pregnant. I’m co- sleeping my 9 month old and I am quite anxious to put her in any risk.

The weather is so nice and I really fancy a nice cold glass white wine on the terrace.

I know the advice is not to drink anything and co - sleep. But my baby is good at letting me know when she is unhappy.

But what is your thoughts?

You’re fine to have a glass if you’re planning on not going to bed right away, maybe wait at least a few hours.

Also, if you’ve not had any alcohol in 9 months keep in mind one glass may likely affect you differently than pre-pregnancy. Maybe start with like half a glass and see how your body responds then go up to a full glass next time if it seems fine.

I would probably have the glass early on in the evening especially as you haven’t drunk in so long.

I agree. First glass will hit you hard so if you want to be careful have it earlier or less, with some nibbles 😉

From what I've read, the research indicates that alcohol will put you in a deeper sleep, and therefore might take longer to wake/realise if something was wrong. I personally wouldn't risk it

I would say, as long as its not close to bedtime it'll be fine. During the day would be okay i would think

There are pretty good alcohol free options now - could do that for the enjoyment and then risk free for bedtime ☺️

Cleaning girls privates

My baby is 3 months old, I noticed she was red in between her lady parts. Which would make sense as to why she didn’t want to be sat and kept straightening up her body ☹️ I cleaned with warm water and sudocream.

Mammas with girls, what’s the best wipes? Or do you just use warm water and a cotton pad? How do I keep her little area red free? Does she need a bigger size nappy also? Any advice welcome!

Rock to Sleep? Or Cry to sleep?

not too long ago, my fiancé allowed our baby to cry himself to sleep because our son was tired. I entirely oppose to this way of nurture I despise it. There’s no way that these tiny creatures who were born with no coping abilities are somehow going to go to sleep with no comfort, I find it absolutely neglectful. I wanna share this topic asking for a mothers opinion as well how do you feel about the “cry it out” method does it work? Does it not? What’s your thoughts on it?

Constant crying in the mornings

I need help I'm literally losing my mind with my 16 month old I literally don't know what to do I'm physically going crazy I feel like I can't do this anymore I suffer from fibremielga and cfs and my life is so so hard and it just feels like it continues to get harder I know what she's crying for but I comfort her and give her what she's crying for just to shut her up and she still continues to cry my older boys was not like this and people say it's girls but that doesn't help me the pressure on my chest is like a elephant sitting on me I have no friends or family so no help so here I am.

Sex

Has anyone else not done the deed after giving birth yet?

I am 13 weekspp and feeling guilty for not spending 'quality' time with my partner. He's been very supportive and that it's just I feel so tired at the end of the day I just don't have anything left in me.

We also have a 3 year old and I do the housework and I also exclusively pump so any free time I have gets taken up. My 13 weeks old girl doesn't like being held by anyone else apart from me or my partner so handing them off for a few hours wouldn't work she also contact naps during the day which is fine as she sleeps through the night in her cot. Once they go to sleep I'm in the kitchen washing up bottles and preparing for my last pump of the day and MOTN pump I don't usually end up going to bed until 11:30pm.
