Guess I’m a single mom now….

My baby turned 4 months old today and her father kicked us out. I feel so sick and so scared. I feel like I’m failing my baby cause I keep breaking down and crying in front of her. I can’t eat. I feel so lost. I hate not knowing what the future holds for my little girl.

Don’t you dare ever go back.

Single moms are the strongest and smartest humans on this planet. You’re gonna learn so much and he is going to have to live with the repercussions of your educated ass.

The future for this little girl just got brighter because today is the mom walked away from an abusive man.

Today is the day mom centers her daughter and de-centers men.

Today is the day you are going to start proving to that little girl that she doesn’t need a man.

Today is the day mom started to find herself and her power

Now roll up your sleeves, there’s work to be done.

Love, it will be okay. My partner left my baby and I as well. remember it’s okay to cry. I know how you must be feeling and if you need someone to vent to please feel free to reach out. Having a momma friend who understands really helps. Insta- heartzzfromhennah. Stay strong, you got this

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.

Rant and rage

I'm not coping and don't feel supported in the way I need. I try and voice how I feel and I get met with silence and huffs and puffs
My son has problems feeding and gaining weight yet my mil insists on holding and comforting him rather than listening to me saying I should try feed him or change him. I get ignored. Same with my toddler she will continue to give her treats when I say no as 1 was enough and doesn't need 3 of somthing. I feel pushed out and not respected
I'm finding it hard very hard

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 😔

No breast milk yet - what to do?

Hello, if my breast milk hasn’t come in yet and I’m struggling to get colostrum off would you recommend getting some formula to feed your baby? He is now 24 hours old. Doesn’t seem overally hungry at the moment, but I’m certain he’ll catch up!

Also, what brand of formulas are you looking at? The whole formula thing has scared me a little.

Thanks in advance xx
