In the trenches right now!

Omg post C-section is so hard. I’m 2 weeks PP.
My 4yo is being utterly unbearable the last few days, hubby is off work for a while so able to entertain him but he’s also doing shopping, cleaning and helping me & baby.

I’m breastfeeding constantly. Trying to take it easy and recover whilst running on 3/4 hours sleep 🙈 it’s just all too much. My 4yo just keeps having meltdowns , screaming and crying at the slightest thing upsetting baby when she’s asleep and acting really spoilt. He’s not listening to much & I’m annoyed I can’t do more, the house is a total mess, laundry up to our eyeballs, not much outside help as we live over an hour away from family. When does it get easier!?

Reflux/ Gas issues

I feel like I’m at a dead end with this. My 7 week old will fuss for hours and bend awfully in my arms and rocker. He’s clearly uncomfortable but I’ve tried everything to help. Sitting him up after feeds, burping every now and then during feeds, belly massages and bicycle runs, gripe water. You name it I’ve done it. It breaks my heart, I hate seeing my baby in discomfort, please say there’s other things I can do :(

Riddle me this…

Has your child or children ever came home from school/ Daycare saying new phrases that they HAD to have learned over there????

For example : my son was playing and he shouts ‘NOT On MY WATCH!’ -randomly.

It was hilarious bc I know exactly which teacher talks like this

Found this super cute dress from the 80s at a local thrift store

There's no care label.
Should I hand wash or risk the machine?

What laundry detergent is everyone using for their newborns??

Any other breastfeeding mamas share this disappointment 😭😂

The feeding on one side and accidentally leaking on the other just makes me so sad 😩🤣and no, I’m not embarrassed we all got our boobies out now and days fed is best though either way🫡💅🏽

Developing early vs autism?

Hi moms! Little one started getting up on their own at 5 months and at 6 months "walking" holding onto furniture. Please do not think this is bragging at all. Just genuinely wanted to know if this could be linked to autism? I have heard cases where they developed very early and then started declining after the first year.
