Struggling...

I love my babies dont get me wrong. They have about a year and 6 months in between them. Currently am feeling like a rubbish mother, I feel so run down and tired all the time. Have moments when the little one (5months) wakes up am not always happy to see her, coz it comes with a lot of effort and attention that sometimes am just too tired and just want to relax or get some rest. With my oldest I know that is easy shes a very independent girl and will play on her own and watch her shows when am resting my eyes. But ofcourse this makes me feel guilty as I feel like I should be doing more for them but my body just won't allow it at the moment. I feel guilty mainly because i love my little one but sometimes think about how life would be much easier and simpler if it was just me and her older sister. I feel like is not PPD but could It be?. Because at other times I can't wait for her to wake up (younger child) and play with her and make her smile.

When you drive alone with the baby/toddler what do you do when to stop and need to fill up gas

I’m a new drives and this a question that goes through my minds as I don’t feel like leaving my toddler alone in the car even if it’s locked but there’s different situations like she could be sleeping, so I wanted to ask what the mommy’s do?

Breastfeeding FTM

Gave birth around 11:40am yesterday, had 3 feeds and another short one later that night. Everytime i put her up to the breast she seems to fall asleep and wont open her mouth. Any suggestions ? Shes only small and came out at 5lb 2 so need to get her weight up 😬

Car seat newborn insert?!

Hi I’m really unsure on whether to remove my babies car seat newborn insert. She just looks really squished and uncomfortable but she’s only 8 weeks old? She weighed 11lbs 9 oz a week and a half ago and is quite long too?? (My babiie I size car seat)

Phones and Newborns

Is anyone else struggling with the guilt of needing to be on their phone when with their baby? It’s almost impossible these days to not have your phone on around your baby, even my home lights are connected to an app on my phone! I told myself I wouldn’t be a phone mum and although I try my best I still find myself feeling guilty.

Anyone else feeling the same?

I brought a phone case that is advertised to catch babies attention, it’s a black and white print and my baby does seem to like it, it’s made it great for taking picture but just wondered if anyone else has found some good tricks?

What blankets do you use for your toddler in the summer ?

So my toddler is out of a sleep sack now. She’s 3. What do you typically let your toddler sleep with in the summer so they don’t overheat at night, but have ample coverage for comfort to go to sleep? We don’t have air conditioning at our house and it gets to be fairly warm here in July and August.

Nappies

Hiya everyone, bit of a random one does anyone know if you can exchange nappies in Tesco without a receipt?
My dopey bf has bought 3 packs of the wrong size 🤦‍♀️😂
