MUMS WHO CO-SLEEP AND HAVE A SEX LIFE

do you even exist?! I haven't had sex with my hubby since baby was born (5 months ago...). my baby WON'T sleep in a crib more than 5 minutes, and we live with more people in the house, so our only option is the bedroom. We don't have much support, and only my mom has watched him for a couple of hours a few times, but she lives far from us. I don't know what to do anymore, we both definitely need it!! please share your tips or advice

We do daytime dates. We have someone watch the baby for about an hour-two hours. It helps a lot, also sometimes when baby is napping we can have a quickie

We live in our own apartment so after our kid goes to sleep we go into a different room. 🤷‍♀️

Was gonna say, normally itd be an activity for outside of the bedroom when you cosleep, but not really an option when you share a living space!
Defo try what Lisa said and do day time dates and quickies

Wait until baby is happy and content enough to be put down for tummy time, in a bouncer etc. face them the opposite way and do what you need. Baby doesn’t necessarily have to be sleep. My son was (and still is) good for waking up as soon as we even looked in each others direction

We bed-share at night but on the good nights we get 1-4 hours of him sleeping in his crib alone (lately it’s more like 30 minutes max) this is the time we would leverage. As others have said too daytime naps are a good time too. Shit grab every pillow you have boarder that baby up in the bed and do it on the floor real quick haha 🤣

Hi all, do many people use Napper/Huckleberry? If so, do you feel it is actually beneficial?

Also, is it best to get the paid version?

Tired of hurting.

I just moved in with my best friend today after an awful break up. She has a new boyfriend and he was saying things that didn’t add up. Saying he was in the military, was in war and has ptsd from shooting people, etc. he’s only 20 and only graduated from high school 2 years ago in June. He lied about getting in a bar fight and almost killing someone when in fact he had charges for stealing and using someone’s debit card. I brought these up to her which she then told her sister I blew it out of proportion and she left for the weekend… I’m having a really hard time because I just want to feel like I’m not upsetting someone for once. I looked into these things because he’s going to be around my baby. I’m just tired of hurting.

Feeding issues

Hi all!
My baby has been constantly crying , more so starts evening time, she’s inconsolable. I’m an over supplier and I’m not sure if she’s just getting top layer of my milk causing digestive issues. She also had tongue tie which was done 2 days ago (she’s 5 weeks)
I’m at a loss, I’m so unhappy with my breast feeding journey so far, ay one point I’m crying so much my husband looked at me like I need to be sectioned. It seems silly to stop feeding if I have plenty of milk but I feel like it’s causing a lot of issues for my baby, tongue tie didn’t help either

What do I do? Do I end my bf journey here for my sanity and fit her as she may not be getting the bottom layer of my milk
I’m just drowning her with my let downs and the watery bit of my milk

(I don’t want to pump before I feed every time to get rid of some, it’s exhausting enough)

Universal credits appointment

My boy has just turned 16 months, and already UC are starting to book 3 monthly calls with me with regards to work. My 1st call was 3 months ago , and I had to upload my CV.

I thought they didn't expect you to start looking for work until your child was 3 year old?

I've never been on UC before so if anyone can give me some more info please
