Aversion to my Husband

My husband and I have been together for almost 7 years, but got married 11 months ago. We decided to do life on hard mode. Our son was planned and med school happened faster than we thought. Within the first 6 months of marriage, we moved states for medical school, had a baby, and 2 deaths in my family, I have pp depression start after 2 months pp. Now our son is 6 months old. We’ve got our schedules/ routines down, but are fighting every other week sometimes multiple days in a row. We love each other and are great parents together, but communication around pretty much anything has been lacking. I just want to punch his face or at the very least tell him to leave me alone, but I also love him and know it’s probably the hormones making me so irritable. Anyone else have this issue? If so, how did you over come it?

Couples therapy helped us by having a mediator during the tough conversations.

I’m currently in the thick of this ! I feel bleh towards my husband . I don’t feel happy but I’m not miserable it’s kinda just bleh 🫠 don’t feel like myself cause I’m to busy being a mom and a wife and I just feel kinda pushed to the side if that makes sense .

I think it’s worth working over, in fact, I hear it’s pretty common that at the seven year mark couples tend to have a moment where they feel like they don’t want this person to be their forever

A mediator helps us with our big arguments aswell! It’s so important especially when emotion makes you all foggy😭❤️🙏🏼

Kendamil

Mamas, what has your experience been with Kendamil formula? 🤍🧸

I’m thinking about switching it for my baby and would love honest feedback — pros, cons, digestion, gas, spit up, sleep, anything you noticed!

Son is currently on Enfamil Gentlease.💜✨

Bedtime ✨

What time are you putting your baby down for bed? Also, has anyone started to put them down awake to allow self settling? X

Giving up breast feeding

Am I really selfish for giving up breast feeding after 7 months?

I'm not a milk snob- nothing against formula.I actually combi feed.
I just wanted to try and breastfeed my first child but I've found it both challenging and lovely.
My LO is 7 months old, weaning and really into food.
They have stopped latching during the day, so I was pumping and bottle feeding but have found my production has really decreased.
To make sure they were getting the nutrients and hydration they need, I've opted to just use formula.
Again, nothing against formula- I just have this weird guilt that I'm denying them of something they were having.
When I pump (up to an hour sometimes) I get around 2-3 ounces 😩 when it used to be 5-6.
I don't know why I feel so bad about it?
Like I've failed them?

Passport for baby

Has anyone applied for babies passport yet?

If so, just wondering how look it took to come as we are planning a holiday end of June and I’m not sure whether I’ll need to sort a fast track or whether it’ll be okay to order one. Thanks!
