What’s the reason ? Even 2 days of breastfeeding will be beneficial so don’t worry and well done 👏 baby will be great no matter what x

Its a cluster feeding love. That's how babies ,,kick start,, your milk supply. Dont give up. It hurts, I know, believe me. Itll be much better tomorrow. Im sitting now with my 3 day old and cry because she's got tongue tie and all I can do is wait for a phone call...

It is very normal. Especially at 2 days old I managed to breastfeed my second for 2 years it will get easier but if it’s effecting you too much stop but maybe try another week your choice xx

Oh bless you. The first week is sooooo hard because baby cluster feeds until your milk comes in. It's really normal.

Day 2 your milk hasn't come in yet and baby is basically feeding constantly to help it come in quickly ❤️ whatever you choose to do baby will be perfect. But if you really want to breastfeed just know it gets easier after the first week ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ xxx

Bad mother

Today I lost it. She cried and cried all morning, we went out for the day she was fine. Got home and cried and cried and cried.
It got too much, I walked out for a breather. Came back in and lost my shit. I didn’t shout, I didn’t become aggressive but I did throw a punnet of berries which scared her
Queue me falling apart because I’ve scared my own daughter. What kind of mother am I for scaring my baby girl. I feel beyond disgusted with myself.
I don’t even know why I’m writing this. I guess a chance to say it out loud? I hugged her so tight at bedtime but I’m still so cross with myself

Does your spouse or partner…

Hi. So this might sound dumb to some, idk. I’m not here to argue.
Anyways, my partner got me a sex toy, he said it’s an early Mother’s Day present. He has always been against me having toys, in fact he broke one! So he said this is because you think I broke yours.
So me being shocked figured there was more to the story. I asked him what he got. First answer he said nothing, then I asked him again, he said he got something. So once we got back to the house I was curious. It was what I think is a pocket p.
So it could flip to a vagina or a butthole. Anyways, the reviews I read on them says they feel real. Obviously I’m not a guy so I’m not 100% sure if it does or not to a guy. Anyways, I’m wondering if we will have less sex now since he’s content doing things to himself? No I’m not trying to control his masterbation, I’m trying to figure out if my life will be affected sexual wise by his choices. Been with him over 5 years so I’m sure it does feel amazing to him.

Anyone have any experience dealing with this type of thing?

Sick to death of repeating myself and being ignored by family

I’ve asked my family multiple times now not to give my nearly 20 month old milk, she was diagnosed with CMPA at 6 weeks and instead of listening to me, they told me she didn’t have it etc etc. Fast forward to weaning and it was the threats of giving her milk and food with milk in, then it was family feeding her foods that she couldn’t tolerate without me knowing but everyone else did and now my sister gave her a Freddo chocolate with caramel today and within 3 hours she’s had 2 dirty nappies and is sore and isn’t happy. I’ve asked time and time again not to give her milk and I’ve constantly been ignored. I’ve booked a holiday for next month for myself, my sister and both my daughters but I know if I’m not listened to and she’s given milk this’ll happen again and it’ll end in an argument and it’s my first holiday with my girls so what do I do?

Selling online

I’m selling a stroller for way below resale price online BUT someone asked to come see it not that they were going to purchase it I feel like it’s gunna be a waste of my time?

Formula feeding

My baby girl is 18days old and having formula milk almost 1000ml every single day.
I feel like bit too much?? Her weight started to gain from the birth weight when midwife checked this week.
