Postpartum depression and anxiety

Hey fellow moms! Ive been dealing with postpartum depression and anxiety really bad. Been a few times I've thought about hurting myself. Didn't really go through it after the birth of my girls but the birth of my son its been bad. Im going to go on medication to help with it but I was wondering if there are any mom's who have dealt with this or dealing with it and what you do to help it

SLEEP WHEN BABY SLEEPS.. or not 🤷🏽‍♀️

So my sister sent me this picture today and I found it quite funny because this literally sums up my life lately! I have been sooooo tired because I was not following the “sleep when baby sleeps” rule and I realised I was not doing myself any favours so I now take that rule very seriously and make sure I get some sleep at every given opportunity!

Have you been sleeping when baby sleeps or are you doing everything BUT sleeping?

Don’t worry this photo was taken at my parents house with everyone present so baby girl was more than safe sleeping on me before the parenting police try and come for me🙃

Newborn Nights

What does your night look like with a newborn at the moment?
Mine often won’t settle in the Moses so myself and my husband are up in the living room doing shifts.
Ideally would like to get both of us back in the bedroom and bubs in the next to me/moses.
Any tips welcome! Formula fed baby drinking every 2.5hrs around 60/100ml over an hour feed (one week old).

Twins (4 months) and 14 month old! PRAMS

Im currently strapping 3 doonas together to nip to the shops etc or do the school run and it is absolute hell! I cant fit through any doors or down any aisles, plus its so hard to push!

Does anyone have any recommendations for prams suitable for all 3 of them that arent ridiculously expensive?🥲 thank you! Xx

Help! Difficult newborn

I thought the newborn stage was meant to be easy! My 3 week old is very hard to get to fall asleep… is breastfed but won’t feed to sleep… I’m having to rock or walk around for ages for every nap? Anyone else like this is this normal?
