Collecting colostrum

Anyone else struggling to collect colostrum? I’m 37 weeks, saw lactation and she tried and instantly got a drop. When i went home and tried i was struggling to get just a few tiny drops that dried up on the side of my tube so was pointless. Tried this morning and nothing. I’m feeling so defeated and sad.

Why my baby can’t chill 😂

My baby started to crawl and now I can’t leave her unsupervised for not even 10 seconds is exhausting. How did you cope with it? I’m dreading to think how she is gonna be when she starts walking lol

Why wont my son sleep? 😭

So first time mom, dont know if this is a boy thing or a every baby thing, but for the last month my son has been EXTREMELY difficult about nap and bed time. Hes almost 2. His day consists of tons of active play indoors and outdoors so i know hes tuckered out, big meals so hes full, no gas, not thirsty, i feel like ive tried everything but for some reason he just will NOT go to sleep, im typing this as im rocking him ive been rocking him for the last 2 hours for bed and he is still forcing his body rigid to get out of my arms, trying to sit up, hitting and crying. He takes a bottle before nap and bed, diaper is changed, i swear im going crazy. I dont know what to do at this point, any advice is appreciated.

When you moved out and started your own family did you realise how toxic your own family was?

A rant because I probs need a therapist lol. I went away with my parents at the weekend with my kids and it gave me so much stress. They argue over everything, my mum rolls her eyes and doesn’t engage in any conversation with my dad. I was telling my pre schooler off for being dangerous and they started telling me off infront of her. My daughter cried because I didn’t do her hair a certain way and my mum infront of her said it’s heartbreaking to watch. Completely undermined me🤦🏼‍♀️

I’ve realised how nasty my mum can be and make comments about other people. My friend was walking through a car park the other day when I was waiting and she said ‘she needs a better bra’ I said that’s my friend that’s rude. She then got angry at me for calling her out.

As a kid they would constantly threaten divorce and bring us kids into their arguments. Now me and my brothers are total hot heads and we all seem so angry all the time😂

I’m so OVER it. I don’t have many other family so it’s very confusing on my brain.
