How did you get your baby to stop waking for milk in the night

I’m a first time mum to my beautiful 14 month old boy. I prayed for my son for so long. We struggled to conceive, so when I fell pregnant it was a shock, but we were filled with so much gratitude. He is the best thing that has ever happened to me.

But recently I find myself being super snappy. I catch myself telling him off when he does something he shouldn’t, and sometimes I feel so overwhelmed and touched out that it takes me to a really dark place, and that scares me. I worry he will grow up resenting me for those moments.

I suffered terribly with postpartum depression, and sometimes I worry I am being pulled back into something like that again.

My husband is emotionally useless, if I am honest. When I share how I am feeling, I am often made to feel ashamed or told to just “suck it up,” and it leaves me feeling very alone.

I feel like the worst mum sometimes, so unworthy. My son deserves a mother with endless patience, softness and presence, and I worry I am not always giving him that.

God blessed me with the most amazing bundle of joy, and I love him more than anything. But lately I keep asking myself, why do I feel like I am lacking the very things motherhood is supposed to come with so naturally?

Bedtime/sleeping in the same room

How do people manage to put their baby to bed when guidance is they have to be in the same room as you for the first 6 months?

My little boy is a contact napper and tends to fall asleep around 7.30/8pm on my partner after a feed, leaving him trapped for the rest of the evening. He will generally transfer to his next to me when we go up to bed around 10pm with no issues but now that the baby is 3 months old, my partner and I feel like even though we love the cuddles, we should be implementing a bit more of a routine and would like an hour or two in the evenings where we can just chill together. The baby absolutely will not be put down in the lounge and just sleep - how do other people do it?

Breastfeeding continuously

I am starting to feel like all my baby does is latch to my boobs (she has since birth if I’m honest) I understand they use the boobs for food, comfort, to regulate themselves etc, which I don’t want to stop but it’s beginning to make me feel isolated and unable to do anything other than sit and feed her. Advice or suggestions welcome to get me through 🙏 x

Depression while pregnant

Has anyone experienced depression while being pregnant? I want to tell the dr but I’m embarrassed

Children telling lies

Hello mamas.

Looking for some advice has anyone’s child ever been to nursery or reception and lied. My LO today went to nursery the teacher asked how they got a scratch on the arm my LO turned round and said daddy did it with a knife when he was angry. Obviously this is not true no one would hurt a hair on my LO body. Since being home I’ve been told 3 different stories finally resulting in my LO not knowing how it was caused.

Has anyone’s child said anything similar I’ve been crying all day and want to know I’m not alone?

How did we get our child from not doing this as obviously it’s lies and it can cause serious damage.

Please help 😭
