Backhump

Anyone else develop a bad back hump from feeding/rocking baby to sleep? I’m 10monts postpartum and it’s so bad. Not to mention I was 135 pre pregnancy now I’m 166. I feel like an ogre 🥲

Which is more important to you?

My mom and my husband dont get along.. at all. It has been putting a strain on my marriage and I'm honestly so tired of trying to keep everyone happy. I really just want to focus on my baby and repairing my marriage. Especially since its been super stressful as first time parents to a 3 month old. I feel bad that I'm kinda giving up on my relationship with my mom but it has been like this for years and I cant keep doing it. These issues have also been contributing to my PPD.

Baby 4 days old

All my baby does is sleep the last 2 days, he wakes for breast milk every 2-3 hours and may stay awake for 5-10 minutes after. He has slight jaundice but the midwife wasn’t concerned. Nothing keeps him awake, is this normal?

Sleep training

Any recos on sleep training? Baby only does contact naps, doesn’t like sleeping on her own and isn’t soothing herself back to sleep everytime I try to get her to nap on her own. I’ve tried warm clothes and mattress, keeping my tshirt next to her till she falls asleep, white noise is always on. Baby is 3.5 months rn and I go back to work next week.

Baby wants boobs all the time

I'm 4.5 weeks postpartum and baby just seems to wants to be on my breasts all the time especially in the evening. As such, we tend to give her some pumped breast milk as that would satisfy her for awhile. It also seems someone else would need to hold her otherwise she continues to root and wanting my breasts but would otherwise stop if someone else held her. Is this normal? I'm doubting myself if she is feeding efficiently and so I tend to pump a bit more often so I can see how much she is taking but it is tiring to do combo feeding. She has at least 6 wet nappies in a day but her weight growth is a bit slower.

Is there even a point?

Now to start raspberry leaf tea? Im 40+3 had my 3rd attempt to sweep and cervix is still closed. Softer but closed. Initially wanted elective section next Friday but there's no space for the entire next week so im on a daily ctgs now and have scan booked for 42 weeks. And I am to ask daily about section availability. I walk, bounce, sex, stairs, everything to stay mobile. Im thinking to buy raspberry leaf tea. Is there a point to start drinking it today?
