Feeling disassociated

I’m almost 10 days pp, and had a very traumatic birth which resulted in a c section.
Since being home I’ve been really unwell and in and out of hospital with dizziness/nausea etc.
my partner has been amazing looking after baby a lot of the time so that I can rest.
I’m on antibiotics at the moment, and I feel a little better but still a little sick etc.
Today I’m feeling really disassociated from everything. I’m looking after the baby fine but like I feel like I’m watching someone live my life and like I’m not living it? If that makes sense. I can’t even recognise myself in the mirror. I tried to watch some tv just to relax but I can’t even tune into that, I don’t feel like I’m in my own body.
Has anyone else been through this? If so what helped? I just wanna feel like I am inside my own body and not a complete zombie

Wrong or no?

We are first time parents, living in a two bedroom with another couple so our privacy is VERY limited. Is it wrong to be intimate in the bedroom while the 10 month old sleeps? Or is it horrendously disturbing?

i didn’t realize how much this part of her hair would need attention

has anyone else noticed dryness in the back of their baby’s hair?

this used to be the hardest area for me to manage, and i honestly didn’t think much of it at first

i started focusing more on moisture and consistency and i’m finally seeing a difference

now it’s softer, shinier, and holding moisture so much better

i’ve been documenting her progress and sharing more on instagram as i figure things out 🤍

Hitting himself

My 21months son started to hit himself when he got frustrated. Like when i say no to him.
He also started to hit me and pinched me when i hold him outside and someone say hi to him.
I think he got this from my autistic brother. We spent a month at my parents house. And that behaviour is what my brother was doing.

What can i do to make him stop? And what can i say to him when he do that? Without making it worse. Or should i just ignore it and he will grow out of this?

I can’t even have conversation with anyone when we were out. Because he keeps hitting my face.

8 month old

Does everyone’s 8 month old sleep through???

Difficult time

No one talks about how difficult is being woken up by your toddler at 5am in the morning then trying to entertain them until a reasonable time when shops or parks open…all that while hubby sleeps in undisturbed. And yes I try to wake him up but nothing could move him from the bed.

I personally find that time of the day so difficult when baby tries their best to push boundaries 😔
