Tap water
Has anyone else’s baby been unsettled after having tap water?
My daughter had just turned 6 months old the other day and we’ve been giving her cool boiled water with her tea then today I gave her tap water instead she was fine after but when it come to falling asleep she’s really struggling slept about 2 hours and woke up screaming really hard to settle her crunching up and arching her back she normally sleeps 7-7 might wake up for her dummy but then go straight back to sleep. I don’t know if it’s because she’s got a bit of a cold or if the water has upset her tummy a bit. She also did quite a loose poo whilst she was trying to fall asleep which she never goes then

Please don’t use tap or bottled water as they have chemicals that can be harmful! Always cool boiled water until at least 12 months
The NHS say tap water is absolutely fine as a drink from 6 months. You've done nothing wrong.
It could be related, but is likely due to being slightly under the weather.

Social services
I have been referred to social services due to a cancelled abortion clinic appt as they were worried about emotional abuse/coercive control. I have another toddler already. Feeling very stressed and anxious. Has anyone had this experience themselves or have any experience of social services assessment? They advised they will be visiting me.

4m sleep regression
My daughter is 16 weeks old now and prior to about 2 weeks ago she used to be such a good sleeper at night. One maybe 2 wakes at most and she slept through the night a handful of times!
Since she hit 14 weeks, everything changed 😅 she wakes up constantly all night, 5-10 times a night.. I’m exhausted! I think the 4 month sleep regression came a little early for us ?
We’re 2 weeks into it now with no sign of it getting any better, how long can I expect this to go on for? Will she ever be a good sleeper again? 😫

Getting sex life back!
11 months after having a baby and we had sex probably twice or 3 times I can't even remember. I love my husband so much that i feel sorry for him. I have zero libido but I don't mind trying, it's just the thought of it makes me feel sick like I have never had sex before in my whole life. If someone was in the same place what did you do? I co sleep and breast feed for context.
