Baby blues..

Anyone else miss their old life? And feel like they’re just waiting for it to ‘get better’ like everyone says it does. Ftm to a 5 week old bubba I love her to death but also feel I’m struggling with it all and just tired of constantly being mum now lol . I feel terrible so pls don’t judge me just needed to vent

You are in the trenches friend. You can feel this way. Definitely try to find some time to yourself if possible, ask your village.

I’m in the exact same boat mama! FTM to a 5 week old and despite loving him more than life itself, really struggling and grieving my old life. There is a reason everyone says it gets better though, I think we’re just in the thick of it and will someday say the same thing?

Girl I miss my old life! I’m dealing with and learning about all these new types and kinds of responsibilities I never even imagined! You will eventually learn a new way of doing life and will ultimately find new ways to embrace that chapter

Eyebrows

My little girl has quite thick eyebrows. I’ve googled it and ended up down a rabbit hole. Has anyone else’s little one got similar eyebrows?

Co sleeping?

Anyone co sleeping straight away from birth? I started a few months after with my first but with this baby she seems to only sleep if in my bed 🛏️ but they're so tiny as newborns 🙈 I wanted her to be in the moses first off

Sterilising

Hi everyone,
First time mum here and just wondered at what age do you stop sterilising bottles and dummy’s etc? I’ve heard 6 months, 12 months etc just not sure what’s right 🤔

Thank you ☺️ 🩷

Waxing

Just wanted to let you ladies know, deciding to get a Hollywood wax for first time ever and being 33 weeks pregnant, with hemorrhoids isn’t the best decision to make and it does in fact, hurt for a while after 😂 and can bruise 😬 it feels like a sunburn in all the wrong places 😫

Sleepless baby

My little one is 4 weeks and just doesn’t want to sleep. I don’t know if it’s because he’s breastfeeding so he’s constantly on me 24/7 and I understand he’s a newborn baby but is this normal. Every time I put him down he cries and just doesn’t want to sleep all day. I’m running on about 3/4 hours of sleep a day so it’s hard getting through the day
