I'm really struggling to stay awake when breastfeeding I feel myself drifting off then my body jolts me awake. Does anyone have any tips I'm terrified of falling asleep and him falling or something.

Co sleeping or find something to keep you awake - mine was the NYT games app as it wasn’t high stimulation but kept my brain ‘awake’ x

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?

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)

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 PMAD postpartum 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. And other days I just feel like running away from them both, from everyone and come back the next day ofcourse. Just trying to process the emotions.

Sleep Schedule

Anyone have a baby that’s really attached to them? Like can’t sleep without you or even if put down wakes back up within minutes? I’ve been advised sleep training, any advice to help me sort this issue out? He does have a bassinet and crib but they’re in the room where me and his dad sleeps but he doesn’t sleep in them at all , he has to be on our bed beside me for the most part.
