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

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 😔

Vaccination

How many mamas are vaccinating and how many are not vaccinating their babies ?

Weaning

Started weaning my son today, he was 6months on Friday. I tried broccoli blended & a piece of broccoli- he had a few mouthfuls and it seemed positive that he liked it but he did gag a couple of times then projectile vomitted, I’m assuming this is because his stomach is still sensitive etc, he wanted more afterwards so had 2 more little mouthfuls but then I called it a day. Has anyone else experienced this?

Night feeding

Hello

How long are you mamas typically awake overnight per feeding session that your baby wakes up for. Mine is 5 weeks and I’m currently breastfeeding and sometimes I’ll offer top up in a bottle depending on how hungry she is. And I feel like I’m awake anywhere from 1.5-2.5 hours with her each time with feeding, diaper change, burping. Curious how long it is for y’all?
