Sleeping bag recs!

My almost 9 week old baby is about to hit 4kg meaning that she can finally use a sleeping bag at night!! Any brand recommendations? And what tog?

We've been using a folded cellular blanket if the room temp is 19-20, and two folded cellular blankets if the room temp is 17-18.

Missed a interview for a job

So I had a car accident last month and was told I have a concussion
So I tend to forget many things now
My interview was at 10 am and I say it under my calendar as 1 pm
So do I explain I have a concussion and want to reschedule this interview?

Can’t put baby down

Anyone else having this too? I can’t put baby down for two mins without him screaming, feels like I can’t do anything. Literally shower or go to the toilet I bring the bouncer in so he’s next to me and he still screams until I hold him 😔
My first child wasn’t like this, hope it’s just a phase but it’s been going on for the past three weeks going abir stir crazy

Baby Blues

Really struggling with baby blues and how fast they came on, I’m usually very in check with my emotions but this is wild ! Anyone else have shared experiences with these ? I’m very lucky and my husband is the backbone to everything and is extremely supportive and has taken everything on so we can recover and he is amazing. But these hormones dips are crazy even with the support ! Curious on others experiences and to make sure it’s not just me feeling the feels !

Exclusively pumping help!

I’m bottle feeding expressed milk to 17 week old baby, have done since we left the hospital. I’ve always pumped milk whilst feeding him because that’s just what has worked.

Now that he is in his grabbing stage, he’s starting to pull at my pumps whilst he is feeding. Not only is it annoying because it stops the pumping, it really hurts!

I can’t manage pumping after feeding him because he needs to be kept upright for a bit after feeds for his reflux, but also can’t pump when he naps because some of the pumps are contact naps. I also don’t like yo pump when he’s doing tummy time/in his play gym because if he cries my pumps physically stop me from being able to pick him up.

Basically I just want to know how other people are managing to keep up with pumping throughout the day whilst home alone with the baby? When are you pumping?

Please offer any suggestions because I’m at a point where I’m considering a switch to formula purely for the logistics of not pumping 😢

Rant #2

Does anyone else’s partner struggle with sexual resentment?
I’m almost 9 months postpartum, I had a 2nd degree tear and my scar is still thin and very sensitive. I’m exclusively breastfeeding so because of my hormones I have absolutely no desire for sex and my scar being sore sometimes just makes my desire less.
Despite this I still try to have sex with my husband once a week even though we spend no quality time together. If we skip a week or if he goes a little too long without sex he gets resentful and grumpy and makes me feel like I’m not doing enough.
He said he’s trying to understand but he has “needs”.

Feeling obligated to have sex makes me want it even less. Now I feel like I’m stuck between just do it and deal with it because I’ll eventually go back to normal and if I force myself it’s going to build resentment on my side and my desire for my husband will go away all together. What do I do? What do you guys do when this happens? I know this is common and normal after a baby

Bras after babies

I’m looking for the best bras for saggy, old worn our tatties that have breasted two babies! I’m a curvy gal and I need back support for the rolls and support for these spaniel’s ears also. I’ve tried M&S Flexifit and they still look haggard. Please and thanks in advance for suggestions!
