Not knowing how to move on…

I’ve been going through some ppd and I honestly feel like I’ve lost everyone after having my baby especially his dad and I honestly feel so stupid for still loving him after being shown how he actually feels how did you guys move on or what did you do to help ease that feeling

Your not stupid for loving him. From what I've noticed being a mom who started late in life to have kids and comparing notes with a healthy services lady I know many men do this. It's like they get jealous of the attention the baby is getting and they aren't but like children they don't understand their own feelings. But don't feel lost you have your baby. It's just a really big struggle right now 😞 I know what u mean I already have PTSD plus ppd after birth I been going thru it still 5 months post n still randomly break down in tears all day and can't control it. Like everything will make me sad and things I haven't thought about in awhile resurface like it's trying to keep me down. I don't know girl but big hugs I feel your pain. Ive quietly broken up with my baby daddy. Living opposite sides of the house. But with mines we all were walking on egg shells just doin our best to avoid making him mad.

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?

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.

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.

Drinking whilst breastfeeding

Is it safe to have a glass of wine whilst breast feeding or not? Some people say it’s fine others say differently
