Baby falling

I feel awful and can’t get it out of my head, i was somewhere yesterday with my baby where it was gym mat like flooring, everyone was giving my baby cuddles when then she got put in her car seat just to settle down before we headed home, nobody had strapped her in and someone had moved her (the handle wasn’t locked nor was she strapped) it wasn’t lifted very high but she fell out and face planted the floor :(
she has abit of a red mark on her nose and a little bruise (isn’t broken) and had an instant swelled lip but has completely gone now.
Safe to say i will be checking her myself in future, unsure why im writing this suppose i just have major mum guilt and need to get it off my chest as family just keep bringing it up 😔

Want to give up on breastfeeding

Please give me some encouragement to keep going 😭 I love feeding my baby at breast I love bonding with him, but lately it has been a nightmare. As we are approaching week 4 he has started to have trouble. He will latch initially, then when I burp him halfway through he will not go back on my breast. (I burp him hallway through because he gets gassy.) Even with the breast literally in his mouth he is still screaming and giving hunger cues and I don’t know what to do!! I know it is probably trapped gas but even after he burps and spits up some he still does this. But he doesn’t do this when we bottle feed him. I’m torn between trying to push through or just switching to pumping 😭

Which one is more dangerous? How does this help you?

Touching babies face/hands

I’m currently 10 weeks postpartum and really struggling with knowing what boundaries to have in place for my baby. Originally my rules were no one visited if they had a cold, absolutely no kissing and also no touching his face or hands. These are still what I want as my rules but people are naturally beginning to touch his face and hands without thinking. It doesn’t help that he’s recently discovered his hands so constantly wants to put them in his mouth. I know everyone has their own boundaries and there’s no right or wrong but I’m beginning to feel I’m possibly being a bit over the top? Is it unreasonable to ask this of people?

Urghh!

My 10 month old was just stirring in his cot and my husband walked in the room after work and went near him staring at him and he woke up completely, he asked if he can take him to bed which at this time i usually do anyway, then I change nappy usually and feed and he falls asleep. But because he saw him he got hyped up and now it’s been awake for an hour and half and just gone to sleep but my husband fell asleep long before snoring away! I’m so freaking mad! It’s nearly 3am

Night light

How do you see your baby in the night? We have a bedside light on but it feels excessive. We have a gro egg and we can't really see her with this. Any advice on what would be better?

Not sure whether to continue in the Marriage

I have been with my husband for 5 years and married for 2 years in September. We have always been close and pretty much best friends but also had loads of issues surrounding heated arguments as a result of him being self defensive or not acknowledging when he has done something to upset me. We have had so many heated arguments resulting in me having panic attacks infront of him because of him denying he's doing things to upset me and literally refusing to admit his wrongs. The reason it is important to me that he acknowledges and admits is so that it doesn't keep happening over and over again and I'm left having to ruin my mental health just accepting it. We've had conversations countless tomes where in the end he will always admit where he went wrong but that is once he caused me hyperventilation, panic attacks, lashing out and kicking him out. He's said over and over again he will do better with admitting and acknowledging but years later, here we are dealing with the same issue but now we have a baby in the middle of it. I have high blood pressure and all of this is making it so much worse and I keep telling him but he never makes permanent change and Always fails to admit in the moment. Guys, I'm absolutely heart broken because I put my whole life into this relationship and have given up my career and my opportunity to move abroad for work opportunities, we've moved 2 hours away from family and friends so I have no support system and not sure how I'll support myself and my son without him but I can't cope with this much longer. It seems I'm fighting for something he's not and it hurts so bad because it's my fault for giving him so many chances. Has anyone else been through this? What would you suggest? Thanks in advance
