Social media really knows how to unlock new fears 😅

I just saw an Instagram reel saying babies can refuse breastmilk when your period comes back or if you get pregnant 😳

This hasn’t happened to me (yet), but now I’m low-key stressing… has anyone experienced this?? Did your baby actually refuse feeds or was everything fine?

Would love some real experiences because social media has me spiralling a bit 🥲

I had the thought “I hate you” and it scared me 😭

I’m 2 weeks PP and sleep deprived and exhausted. I had the thought and then felt incredibly guilty and scared. I love my baby so much and I would never do anything to hurt her so this thought freaks me out. I think more accurately I’m just struggling right now and hate some of the changes in my life.

Co sleeping

Hi moms.
I need some help/advice.
I have twin boys (7.5 months). One sleeps amazingly through the night, and one isn't able to sleep without someone sleeping with him (I live with my in-laws and we take turns with the boys, and they always co-sleep).
Ive asked them numerous times not to, and to use the pack n play that we have set up in their room (until we get another crib). Ive had MULTIPLE conversations and arguments with my husband about it (its a culture thing to co-sleep).
My whole thing is ive never liked it or wanted to do it. You want to, sure you do you but dont ask me to do it.
My mil was injured at work so I do understand it is easier for her to have one of them sleep in their bed (incase needs to feed in the middle of the night).
Im at my wits end because I'm having a now 3 hour battle getting one twin to sleep in his crib. He knows as soon as he makes contact with his bed he's not with someone and screams/sobs bloody murder.
I dont know what to do or how to help him.
I dont want him to be 5 years old and still sleeping with his grandparents 😪

Crying in the Car

Sooooo my daughter is 5 months old as of tomorrow. She used to love the car! In fact it was the only thing that calmed her when she had screaming/crying fits during the newborn trenches. All of a sudden she HATES it. I’ll always plan drives according to nap time and she’ll fall asleep but if she wakes up while we’re still driving she screams/cries so loud and nothing I do consoles her. I tried sitting in the back with her, toys, white noise - nothing. Any tips?! ANY ADVICE WELCOME, even the most unhinged haha!

Pregnancy snoring anxiety

I have started snoring and apparently it is *loud*.
I have major anxiety about keeping other mums awake on the labour ward after giving birth. I’ve tried saline spray and trying nose strips tonight but I think I’m more stressed about this than labour! Anyone else in the same boat or have any advice?
Thank you!
