Anyone else?

Anyone else feel like they’re losing themselves a little? I love my baby, but I miss me. How do you all find yourself again in this blur 🥴?

I haven't. I'm right there with you. I miss my freedom and I miss being able to have fun. Make plans without people just assuming they can't invite me because I have a hyperactive kid. Not a person anymore. Just a mom... But that's why I joined this app 😂 I got tired of feeling the way you feel! So just keep waving at peeps

Vitamin D yes or no? (Breastfeeding mums)

I’m a first-time mum and I’m exclusively breastfeeding. Since I started giving my baby vitamin D drops, he seems to have stomach pain, discomfort, and gas. This morning he also vomited some yellow fluid (bile). I contacted NHS 111 and got a GP appointment this afternoon.
The doctor told me that I don’t need to give my baby vitamin D because it’s already in my breast milk. However, my health visitor and the feeding support team have always told me that I should give vitamin D supplements.
Now I’m confused about what to do. Who is right, and why are they giving different advice?

Are you tired of looking at the inside of your house????

Listen, I've been a SAHM Mom for about 2yrs now and all my friends have jobs so I rarely see people or have adult conversations! I don't like being on the phone long cause my son is loud. I need more than the inside of my house, who likes park meetups and doing something with the kids just to get out the house!! Hit me up if you're in Atlanta

Wedding dilemma

Looking for some advice/ thoughts on a wedding my husband and I have been invited to as I feel like I’m losing my mind over it.

One of my husbands close friends is getting married October 3rd. Our second baby is due September 17th- this would make them 2 weeks old at the time of the wedding- if they come on time which as we all know babies have their own timeline. Last time we spoke with the friend and his fiancée they hadn’t decided if they were having children to the wedding or not and even so I’m not sure I want to attend a wedding 2 weeks PP with a 2 year old and 2 week old!

My husband has said he is absolutely not missing this wedding.

Other issue is that last year I found out my husband had been having an emotional affair with a co-worker. They kissed once drunk at a party and then continued messaging for 6 months afterwards, I have spoken to both and they swore they were just good friends and the kiss was a one off. Shortly after finding out about all this I found out I was pregnant so have just chosen to believe it was what it was and I know it’s over now. My husband has also changed jobs since then so no longer has any contact with this woman. However, she will be at this wedding.

I just can’t imagine anything worse than being in the same room as my husbands fling in a fragile very recently postpartum state and also don’t believe a wedding is an appropriate place for a newborn. I guess I’m just looking for other people’s thoughts as I said my husband is not willing to budge and has said he will be going. 😫
