Good baby

I just wanna see if there’s any mums who are actually having a good time with happy
Babies that sleep well. Eat well. Play well ?
I feel like I’m shamed in mum groups when I don’t share the same problems. I know we’re lucky. And we take each day as it comes. There’s been ups and downs but she is a happy baby who isn’t much trouble. But I’ll scared to say the truth in mum groups because they all look so judgey and cross that she’s just an easier baby than my friends. I don’t take it for granted. Like I said we take each day as it comes knowing our luck could run out but I’m tired of being shamed for it. I have a good baby. She sleeps 12 hrs at night without waking. She eats well. She’s so bright and meeting milestones early. She naps in the day and rarely scream cries.
Don’t get me wrong. The first few weeks were rough but I just wanna be able to share that she’s good I’m good and not feel shamed to share it.

I’m not bragging either by any means I just want to be able to talk about it.
I understand other people aren’t having a good time I do. Sometimes it feels like I can’t be included in conversations because I haven’t had terrible sleep or done 12 nappy changes that night. I’m starting to feel a little isolated

Same here. I had the same during pregnancy - for me it was easy. No symptoms, no lack of energy, no nothing. It was the best I’d felt in years. But was shamed and isolated for it because I couldn’t relate to other pregnant people. They were dismissive and rude.

I was shamed for also having an easy breastfeeding journey. We never had any issue. She knew what she was doing from the get go. It’s been smooth sailing since birth and continues to be now.

And it’s the same now I have an easy baby/toddler. She’s 15 months and never been any trouble. She sleeps well, eats well, plays well and is very chill. We get a lot of complements when we’re out and about from people saying how good she is and how calm.

It really sucks. I’ve got no real mum friends because I’m ostracised and even been told that I don’t understand or wouldn’t get it.

It took me a very long time to have my baby and finally be in the Mum Club. And it’s quite upsetting to be pushed out because I don’t have it as bad

Diaper bag!

Hi guys, I’m desperately in need of a new nappy bag 🥲I currently use my LV Neverfull and it actually fits everything, but it gets sooo messy everything just ends up on top of each other and I can never find anything quickly. I want the Mina Baie bag but I’m in the UK and shipping takes too long, I need something within a week 💔

Does anyone have recommendations for a cute/aesthetic nappy bag that has a lot of space and has a similar vibe to Mina Baie that’s also practical and comfortable to wear? xx

Vaccination schedule + newborn visits

When did you feel it was actually safe to have visitors or host a small gathering?

My due date is in about a month, and I tried to schedule a first visit with a pediatrician for after my baby boy arrives - but they said it’s too early to book an appointment.

My husband and I are also planning a small naming ceremony with close friends and family about 2 weeks after birth.

I’d love to hear from other moms on this.

What does the vaccination schedule look like for newborns in those first few weeks/months? Would really appreciate any experiences or advice 🤍

Breastfeeding

So I see that a lot of moms on here are exclusively breastfeeding and I wanted to know was it hard for you the first little bit and I assume it eventually gets easier and at what point is that? I’m 4 wks pp and some days I feel like I’m getting the hang of it but other days I’m like maybe I should just pump or give formula and nothing wrong with that a few months in I did that with my first. But I really wanna give it a proper shot this time

Please give me all tips and tricks that worked for you sometimes my baby keeps falling asleep at the breast every 4-5 m so I feel like I’m constantly feeding her. Nothing wakes her up not diaper changes, not tickling or applying cold she just wakes up like half an hour later and I’m feeding her again. So for times like that I get so frustrated she’s not getting a full feed at the boob

Anyways just wondering if it ever gets easier, less painful, faster and you become more confident because I’m already 4 weeks and don’t feel that

No sleep

So my 5 week old won’t sleep in her crib.. everytime we put her down she will start to cry then eventually scream. She is fed and changed so we are not sure what the issue is… but maybe it’s because she is used to being held? any tips or advice? pls help
