5 months pp, still don’t want sex…

I’m 5 months postpartum and it’s still painful to have sex. I had a C Section, so the scar still feels weird and uncomfortable being touched down there. Has anyone else gone through this? Is it normal or should I be worried?

Dr Google says my body could still be in shock from having a baby and it’s stopping me from enjoying anything.

Low milk supply

My baby is 7 weeks and have been breastfeeding this whole time.
I express milk into bottles so my partner can feed but also use breast at night time and pump as a top up.

Today my milk supply has been next to nothing and I am not sure why. Feeds are consistently every 3 hours.

Anyone faced this issue?

First time calling poison control

I feel so terrible. My two year-old got into a bottle of fix vapor rub took a big handful of it and shoved it in my five months old face and some of it got in her mouth. I googled it and it said to call poison control, so I did. I gave her. The percentage of the drug told her how much I thought she ingested and gave her my five month olds weight. And she said it’s not enough for me to go ahead and go to the ER and I should just monitor her and call back in four hours to let them know if she’s doing OK. I never had to call poison control with my son and I feel like such a bad mom. I feel like it has been way harder than the second time around.

Does your partner help with the night shift?

I feel guilty for asking for help during the night as I know he has to work in the day but I’m shattered from doing all the night feeds (our baby is bottle fed) 😥

Sleep help!

My baby is 11 months old and he has never slept though the night!

He is up every 1-2 hours in the night and wakes up at least 4 times. We try to settle him in the cot and if that doesn’t work then we try to settle him in our arms but it’s get to a point he is getting really stressed so I give him some milk to settle him.

We’ve tried to just eliminate the milk and replace with the water but it makes him worse.

He has the same routine every night- he has a book, gets changed and then a bottle. He has 3 meals and 2 snacks through the day and 1 4oz bottle in the morning after breakfast.

I need any help or advice for getting him to sleep through the night! Thank you

Transition to own room, cot or floor bed?

I have been cosleeping with my lo since he was 6 months, and he's now 10 months old.
I'm considering putting him in his own room as I don't think he needs me anymore, we've night weaned and that went really well and now he's started sleeping through the night and he doesn't need to be touching me to go to sleep hes quite happy sleeping on his own in our bed.
I'm considering getting him a floor bed. 1 so he can lots of space and 2 if he ever needs me in bed with him I can easily just go there but my questions when they figure out they can't get out of bed how do you stop them because with a cot its got the sides so they can't get out but what about a floor bed? How are we keeping them safe? All I can think is when he gets to like toddler age he'll likely be in and out bed a lot.
