C-section Mama, loosing baby weight.

Hi Mamas.
So I’m 3 months postpartum after having an emergency c-section. I’m exclusively breastfeeding, therefore I’m not on any diet to make sure I keep my milk supply coming.
I JUST fully healed and I feel ready to start working out to get my body back but idk where to start or what to do.
Also, I had a big pregnancy belly, so now my belly is kinda folded into itself and I desperately want it gone 😅.
But most importantly, I need to find a sweet spot between keeping my milk supply the same and losing weight/getting fit.
I need advice!

Hi! Does anyone have any recommendations on helping baby sleep when teething?

He wakes up screaming and it breaks my ♡ He is only 5 months

Such thing as a 9 month sleep regression?

I don’t know what’s happening or if I’m doing something wrong but out of nowhere my baby’s sleep schedule and routine has become SO inconsistent and we don’t know if he’s gonna be up every 1-2 hours or sleep through the night perfect. He’s been fighting naps harder than ever before like clawing screaming arching until I give up and just try again later, despite the fact that I KNOW he’s tired from his own cues, and I’m just at a loss. I feel like I’m doing something wrong and idk how to help him. It wasn’t like this he used to sleep great and put himself to sleep for naps. And now it’s the complete opposite.

baby sleep

My 7 month old is adamant on sleeping face down in the mattress.. and I mean face flat to his bed.

I've tried nudging his head to one side, putting him on his back again.. he finds himself face down again.

His snuz hero alarm woke me up last night and was again face flat in the mattress so he obviously can't breathe properly! (Snuz hero is a breathing monitor)

What can I do?! I'm not sleeping properly from worry

Is this true?

There was a post I read which I can’t get out of my mind. I have a son and a daughter (both under 2). It basically said how daughters become a reflection of us, they are a mirror back at us showing us the good and bad and making us reflect. The same with sons and their fathers eventually.

My marriage has been a wreck since we had kids, constant bickering and disrespect. There are good parts. Would I want my daughter to be who I am now? Someone who accepts being spoken to like this? I used to be a very strong, loud, proud and extroverted person. I would love for her to be like be like the person I was 5 years ago. However, now I feel silenced in my home, allowing myself to be disrespected. I can’t say all of the changes are due to my husband, maybe motherhood too.

I can’t stop thinking, would I want my son to treat his future wife how I am being treated? No. Would I want my daughter accepting being spoken to this way? No.

He is a good dad in many other ways, he does provide, plays with them, helps with bedtime routine etc. but we are failing to model a good relationship. I dont think he likes me anymore, let alone love. I’ve brought up therapy many times but he will never agree.

Maybe it’s best to be apart? I don’t know what messes up kids less.

Struggling - suicidal tendencies

This might be a long one but i need to vent.

Im really struggling, me and my wife went through IUI to concieve and everything was fine until she just left me when i was around 20 weeks pregnant. She was still involved with appointments and the birth but during this time still gave me hope of coming back - flirting, kissing me etc. We planned to spend her two weeks leave in the same house so we could maximise our time with our little girl. A few days in i found a pair of someone elses knickers in her bag. When asking about it, she lied again, and i kicked her out. We're now doing day on/day off with our daughter (which i know isnt ideal as its killing me pumping) and im not even bothered that shes with someone new, im bothered that she lied and the lack of respect for me as the mother of her child.

All in all im really feeling it, having suicidal tendencies to where im googling what meds i can take and planning a day but at the same time i look at my little girl and am struggling to think about missing out on her growing up. Im just truly fed up.

16 week old sleeling through the night

My little boy is 16week and is generally going through night. I orginally started his routine at 6pm for him to be in bed by 7pm..however hes had other plans and is ready for bed at 5.30pm. I the last 2 nights hes been asleep (other than brief wakings for his dummy) from 5.30 /5.45pm to between 5/6am.
Im actually concerned as he is on full breast milk which means he needs more regular feeds.i have been dream feeding him around 9pm because i feel that long without milk cant be good. I dont want to wake him obviously but i also want to make sure hes not getting dehydrated. Would anyone do anythinf different? Hes such a chilled baby and has 8oz every 2.5/3 hrs during the day
