Sleeping at night - yourself

Hello,

How are you girls with sleeping at night? I’m asking mamas whose babies sleeping quite well at night. Let’s say my baby sleeps from 8pm until 4am , eat and then goes back to sleep until 7-7:30am.
I will go sleep at 10pm, wake up at midnight, 2am then 4am to feed , 6am and then waking up together with baby. I just cannot sleep through the night anymore 🙈 I wish I could sleep like my baby 🤣🤣 I’m just waking up for no reason and take me some time to fall asleep again.
I’ve tried some pills to help with sleep, taking magnesium etc but nothing works 🤷‍♀️
Have anyone been or is in the same situation? Did you do anything that worked on you and could recommend?

To add to this - my baby was always sleeping quite well and started doing longer stretches since 1-2 months old but seems like my baby is improving in terms of sleeping and I’m getting worse 🙈

Baby poops

I’m going alittle crazy! My ebf 11 week old for the past 3 weeks will only poop every 6 days. Brought it up to the pediatrician and I’ve done everything they told us to do. Bicycle kicks, tummy rubs, rectal temp check, warm baths and even a suppository. He is very low on the percentile like 9% so I feel like he isn’t holding on to the milk and about day 4 he is so uncomfortable. We took him to the ER Saturday and they did a xray and just told us he had gas. Went to a follow-up peds appointment and they started him on liquid Pepcid due to possible silent reflux. He burps & farts during/ after feeds. We give mylicon or gripe water for the gas discomfort which helps sometimes. I have a feeling this isn’t normal especially when he used to poop everyday.

Leftover pregnancy/postpartum products

I have a load of leftover products either unopened or only used once, it seems a shame to throw them away any ideas what I can do with them? I don’t have any friends expecting or likely to get pregnant soon and I guess most places wouldn’t take them as donations? Based in London.

Feeling anxious and depressed

Hi everyone
Sorry about the subject I just want someone to talk to. I’ve been feeling anxious and depressed for a long time but since having my children I just don’t want them to see me sad and worried all the time.
I went to the doctors to discuss this with them and was recommended doing couch to 5k with no other help offered? Is this normal.
I understand exercise can sometimes help but I don’t have the time whatsoever as I have no family to help.
I cried my eyes out to this male doctor who offered a few leaflets and couch to 5k and ended it as that.
I left the room in tears.
I’ve never wanted to burden anyone with my problems so I’ve just kept silent about it ever since but I just want to feel happy again
I’m sorry for the sensitive subject

Milk leaking

Does anyone have any tips on how to stop milk leaking? After pumping I’ll put on a nipple pad but it gets soaked up and I leak through my tops/pyjamas.

Does anyone have any nipple pad recommendations? At the moment I’m just using the Boots own make.
