Stressed about being out with baby

Not sure if it's just me but I have been feeling quite stressed about going out with baby because it messes up with the schedule and we spend more time preparing about the outing even if it's a short walk.

I am breastfeeding and I'm still not very comfortable feeding baby in public yet. Half of the times we had gone out with baby, baby has cried for a long time while being out which makes me feel more stressed and not wanting to do big trips out or stay out for longer than an hour. Anyone else is in the same situation?

We're meant to visit my in laws tomorrow and they live almost an hour away, so the round trip would take an hour half to two hours plus if we stay there for a couple of hours, we would be out for quite awhile. I'm just not sure I'm ready for that and I feel very guilty for that.

Yes I feel the same, we walked to a town nearby (10-15 min walk) and then she started crying as we got there so I just went home. It's hard! Especially when they are feeding so often, trying to leave is like a military operation

I have the nappy bag packed ready for off. I love going out with her. Get breastfeeding tops which covers your boob while feeding. I breastfed several times and no one realised. It will get easier. Xx

Dirty butt from nursery

So on Thursday I picked my daughter up from nursery and came home and played a little. It was then time for her bath before bed and when I undressed her and took her nappy off I noticed she must've had a poopy diaper because her but crack wasn't completely clean. Now it wasn't disgustingly dirty but I'm expecting it to be clean y'know?

Now I know my daughter is in that stage where it's like wrestling an alligator to change her nappy but surely they should be used to this.

She's quite new to nursery and this was her second week. She poops daily and this was the only time she wasn't cleaned properly.

Do I let it go because it was a one time thing or do I bring it up to the nursery manager?

Sex saved my marriage.Men need sex a little more than we do .I softened my heart and stopped withholding it constantly and just started offering,I swear to God the kind of man he suddenly became is like day and night.

So I love sex but not as much as him .
Anyway I started offering him sex like a lot of,without any pressure for performance,just letting him cum as quickly as he wants,i stopped looking at it negatively,this only made him want more and i truly started enjoying it so much more.my libido is higher.
Our connection has changed,it’s so much deeper now,he has become so soft around me,wants to cook my favorite dinner maybe 4 times a week,keeps asking me if I need to go shopping for anything,if I need money in my account,suddenly just like that I’m so much happier and I feel like my heart weighs so much less .
I didn’t know sex can unlock so much in a man.

Giving baby 4 months purées

I have got a couple of the fruit puree sachets, my baby is 4 months and 2 days. Am I ok to let her try some? Obviously I won’t be giving her the whole thing just to try. I know I did with my first born. But she was 3 weeks premature however she’s a good weight now.

Does anyone else think this is wierd ?

Soo my partner and me don’t live together but recently found out we are having a child together and often he would stay either at mine or his friends and his nans for couple of weeks at them places however
His friend as got four child is a single dad but seems to give my partner money ever like if he’s feeling down he will give him to get a takeaway or when ever needs it or recently when he come back from staying at his friend house he said that friend spent loads of money on expensive aftershaves for him like nearly £500 worth of them does this seem weird to anyone, plus I don’t think his friend knows I’m pregnant

BLOCKED!

So I blocked my bd/partner (confusing lines) without any communication because i’m fed up! Doesn’t really look for his child or me, doesn’t provide mentally, emotionally, physically or financially (if he does, it’s after agesss of nagging and even then done reluctantly to make me feel bad for asking). just takes and takes and takes while putting me down. i’m a shell of my former self because of him. really done with it all but in two minds whether to text and explain but then it’s like what’s the point when he doesn’t listen?! i’ve raised our child by myself for the last 3 years and have actively encouraged him to partake in child’s life but always too ’busy’ or ‘not feeling well’ or just straight up ‘no another time’. i’ve missed out on a lot of opportunities and experiences with my child because it’s always ‘oh i’m busy, let’s do another time’. tries to take credit for my hard work as well like wtf.

i’ve put up with a lot of the years and have gained lots of trauma due to it. decided enough is enough and don’t want to teach my child that this is acceptable behaviour from someone who ‘loves’ you, especially a father. someone who they should be looking up to but instead being constantly let down. might not be a big deal now but i know it’ll matter when older.

thoughts?
