Skincare

Has anyone got any recommendations for skincare to contain acne? I’m 7 months pp and my acne from pregnancy etc has now calmed down and looking for very good skincare that can contain it and keep my skin clear as well as smooth.

I’m struggling with my 2-week old

I really need to vent.

I feel like I can’t do this. I’m struggling so badly. I often cry when my baby cries. I get panicky when I can’t figure out what’s wrong. I feel like a bad mom, but I care about my baby and love him so much that it hurts.

I was neglected and abused as a child and I feel so much guilt for struggling so bad or even complaining in the first place. I want to be able to keep it together, but it feels so impossible sometimes. And I just want my baby to be happy and healthy but I feel like I’m doing a terrible job.

And I feel bad for my husband who has to deal with a crying baby and a crying wife. And I feel jealous of him because he handles everything so well and he’s naturally good at juggling stress, but I am the opposite. I feel like a terrible and ill-prepared mom.

Should my 4 almost 5 week old have a bedtime?

My baby girl will be 5 weeks on Tuesday (28th), she’s breastfed and sleeps well mostly but is usually up every 2-3 hours for a feed. I haven’t noticed a routine and has been co/sleeping for the last 2 weeks as she got a little cold and fusses a lot now when I try to put her in the sleepyhead. I’m not sure if the cold is what’s thrown everything off but should she have a bedtime or routine by now? I just go by her and what she wants at the moment…

Anyone awake?

It’s one of the hard nights when baby won’t go to sleep, my partner does the first part of the night (usually until 4am), at 2am he was desperate because baby won’t sleep at all. He changed him 3 times and fed him a whole bottle of formula. I got up and breastfed him once at 2am and now I’m currently breastfeeding again. I feel like this baby won’t let us sleep tonight so just wanted to see if anyone is in the same situation.
This too shall pass. ✨

9 week old sleeping through the night

For the past 2 nights my baby has slept through the night 😱
Yesterday she lasted 7h since the last feed until she woke up asking for food and today it's been 8h.
She got her jabs on Wednesday and she's been eating a little bit less (normally 730-820ml per day and for the past 4 days only about 700ml). Should I be concerned? She's otherwise very good, plenty of wet nappies and super alert when awake. I still feed her the same amount of times, just offering it more frequently

Just sharing

I have an almost 9 week old baby, and she never slept independently since day 1. I tried putting her on her crib for nap times during the day but not even 20 mins and she is going to wake up, same at night. She will just sleep if she is in her carrier, or we are in bed but I should be beside her. I feel like I’m doing something wrong.
