What time do you all wake up for the day?

What time do you tend to get up in the morning? Do you get up before the baby wakes or do you let the baby wake you up in the morning?

9th percentile weight

Our 12 week old daughter was weighed today and has gone from middle of 9th/25th percentile to 9th percentile. She is exclusively breastfed so I am a little disheartened as no signs/ wasn’t expecting it. She is well and content in herself and has regular normal nappies. I am due to take her back in 4 weeks to check weight. They weren’t overly concerned but want to check in 4 weeks. Anything I can do in that time to help feed her up and get her back on track. She is exclusively breastfed on demand and is a good sleeper so fed once during night.

Help with talking!!

Hi all my kiddo is 2 1/2 and he refuses to talk. Does anyone have any advice on how I can get him to talk?! He follows everything I tell him to do he just won’t verbalize what he wants. I have contacted speech therapy and they said he didn’t qualify. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Nesting Phase 🥰

Hey mamas! 💕
What were the baby items you actually used the MOST? Trying to finish my registry and don't wanna miss the essentials. Thank you! 🤍

If you were walking on an isolated cycle path with no one else on it aside from a strange looking man, would you intervene if he was asking for help with an insect in his eye?

This happened to me the other day and it creeped me out, and I’m wondering if I was being over the top.

The man was hovering around a bike attending to it, so I assumed he had a bike problem, but then as soon as he saw me, he started walking towards me, and said he had an emergency and he needed me to look in his eye. I asked why and he said because an insect flew into it. His eye looked normal and he wasn’t squinting or anything like that, but kept saying it was an emergency and he needed me to look.

I said no and told him to asked a man. I said I didn’t feel safe on my own on the isolated path coming any closer to him. He stormed off angry and then kept turning around and just standing there looking back at me, which scared me even more.

Was I being over the top or unreasonably? Was I an arsehole for not helping him? Do you believe his story about his eye? This is now the fourth man who has approached me in this area with either a strange request or who has threatened me, so admittedly I’m on high alert at this point.

In my head I was thinking the minute I come close to this man, he’s going to do something to me because why can he just poke the insect out himself instead of asking a lone woman on a cycle path to inspect his eye?

Breastfeeding help

I'm struggling to understand how people do this 😭

I'm on day 3 and my nipples feel like they've been cut with glass. I cannot get baby to latch well. I've had advice from midwives and they've helped me multiple times now, and I always manage when they help, but as soon as I'm left to do it myself I just cannot get baby to latch deep enough and its so painful.

I tried expressing so I could still have milk to give baby but I'm not making enough milk yet for that to even be worth it tbh.

She wants to feed every 5 minutes, I can't keep up. My breasts feel empty and soft and she still wants to feed. I know this is because she's making my supply increase but it's constant. I can't do anything else, i can't put her down for anything, not even to go pee.

I have a toddler too and I'm just feeling tremendous amounts of guilt for not being able to even have 5 minutes to cuddle him 😔

How does this get better??? Please help!
