4 Months PP Emotional

Hi 4 months PP and the past 3 days I’ve just cried and I feel overwhelmed. I have been completely normal and have no idea where this flood of emotions have come from. Anyone else experience this?

Right there with you girl. Having a baby is a lot. As your period starts to come back and you have that big hormone shift, you’ll probably feel irritable or hormonal. I felt it when I got my period, at about 6 months, and again at about a year. Having a baby is hard work for your body and your hormones are just trying to balance themselves back out.

If you continue to feel bad, or it gets worse, reach out to your Dr for help.

It’s so strange bc I have had my period twice and never felt this way. But I guess something in my is trying to regulate lol

Yes! My PPD has been so bad for the past few weeks, but I'm slowly starting to feel like me again

How do you get newborn to sleep in the next to me?

I have tried but end up giving up, going downstairs putting him in the carry cot and he is absolutely fine/drifts off!

Ive tried putting a top in the next to me so he can smell me but that doesn't seem to work.

Environment is the same; dark room etc.

He's 7 days old today, is it just perseverance and eventually he will just do it? Or are there any tips to encourage him to stay/sleep in the next 2 me?

2 stages in one!

3 months in and WOW… nobody warned me about this stage 😂😭

One minute she’s smiling, cooing, the sweetest little angel…
Next minute I’m being screamed at because I dared to change her nappy or put a sleeve on the wrong arm 🙃

Apparently this is a “developmental leap” AND the start of an early sleep regression…
I call it:
✨ tiny human with BIG emotions and zero patience (and no interest in sleep) ✨

We’ve got:
• 30 minute naps
• dramatic outfit changes
• only-mum-will-do moments
• random meltdowns for absolutely no reason (or all the reasons??)
• and a sleep schedule that changes its mind daily 😅

But also… the smiles, the cuddles, the way she settles on me like I’m her whole world 🥹

So yeah… it’s a lot right now.
Messy, exhausting, emotional… but still somehow the best thing ever.

Anyone else in the trenches with a 3 month old? Send help… or snacks 😅🤍

Food shopping

Please help how to do a food shop with a 4 month old! At the moment I put her car seat in a shallow trolley and can only buy limited stuff till its full and fill my massive bag on the hook which isn't enough. She can't sit up so can't go in the sit up ones, I can't wear her for that long takes about 15 minutes and my back feels like its going to break, the pram storage only holds limited stuff I wonder if I'm missing something obvious? I know you can get ones to put the car seat in but there's never been one available when I've been! Any help would be grateful
