Honest Breastfeeding question

I am very much into nipple/boob play 💜

for the women that breastfeed, do u lose sensation when feeding? does ur body differentiate feeding and foreplay?

Have a partner, but feeling like a single Mom

I had my little boy just over a month ago. It all started off okay, but now it feels like he’s gotten “bored” I do most off the comforting unless I ask to get a shower and at night I’m the only one that wakes up. I do all the nappy changes and I do the feeding. I exclusively breastfeed but I pump at night and do bottles as it’s much quicker and I’m exhausted. In the morning it’s pretty much the same, I do the bottle feed and nappy change and then almost all off the time he doesn’t want to settle after and so I get up with him. My partner is lying in bed complaining he’s tired. As I write this, he said he’d be down in a second but I can blatantly hear him snoring while I comfort the baby, yet again…

Yesterday was his first day back at work after having 6 weeks paternity. He got all upset as I asked him to carry the baby down so I didn’t have to make multiple trips as im 5 weeks pp from c section and still recovering. He wanted extra sleep as he had work at 3pm…my reply was “at least you can clock out” I feel like having a newborn is working in itself and currently I’m the only one working 24hrs 7days a week. Exclusively breastfeeding is exhausting yet my partner has the audacity to snore and sleep while I’m up all night with the baby.

I have voiced my issues with him doing this and him not even offering to help, but he gets all offended! Am I asking for too much?

Crunchy mamas

I have just gone the rabbit hole of non toxic life. I’m trying to change bit by bit! What I’m struggling with is diapers and baby wipes. What do you use? I was looking into dry wipes but all I could find is honest brand but they don’t do it in the uk

Hungry baby

My little boy is almost 3 months old, drinking 6 ounces of milk, (Aldi milk) doesn’t finish the bottle and then goes back to it maybe half hour later. But then he’s starving again within 2 hours.
I don’t think the answer is to give him more as he doesn’t always go back to it. If anyone has the MAM bottles he tends to drink to the colour of the plastic connection at the bottom which I think is about 30/40ml.
Is hungrier baby milk worth buying? Every time I talk to my midwives about his feeding they don’t seem concerned coz he’s putting on the weight. I feel like I’m always feeding him.

Do we think she’s close to crawling?

I’ve been getting worried as she’s just turned 10 months and so far has shown no interest in trying to crawl. But the last couple days she’s sticking her leg out and it’s giving me hope.

Breastfeeding out & about

Heya! I’m almost 2 weeks postpartum recovering from a c section. Still not quite ready to go out and about yet but wanted to see how people are getting on with breastfeeding out in public? I have a few events coming up soon and I’m a bit nervous about the feeding and how it’ll go. I am also expressing so don’t know whether to take a few bottles out to make it easier x

Sleep Deprived and on the verge of losing it.

My 3 month old is still taking a night feeding. He won't eat over 4 Oz each feed, (like, he literally stops exactly a 4 if there's more in the bottle) and he eats every two hours, and carries into the wee morning at 2:30 am. I feel like I havent slept since he's arrived. I know the fresh newborn stage was rough with waking almost every 1-2 hours like clockwork. But my body is sending off endurance warning signal when he's screaming at 2:30 am. And when I wake up at 5 am with him to feed again he's awake and ready to party 😩 and start the day. I'm trying to break the angry mom curse that feels like it was burned into my veins growing up. But I need some damn sleep. I'd really LOVE to know if anyone was able to get their 3 month old to sleep through the night. I try to nap when he does, but it's like he has a radar the minute I close my eyes to start crying or grunting and then I also have two obnoxious dogs that bark at the wind blowing during the day. TIA
