How are you sleeping?!

My LO is 9 weeks old and she tends to sleep from 21:00-1/2:00 with no issues. After her feed and change she drifts off quickly but the next stint of sleep just seems to be her flailing her arms around and making a whole lot of noise. Her eyes are closed through the whole time and if you pick her up she stays asleep and stops moving and making noise. Has anyone else experienced this, if so how did you manage it? Do I just leave her to it until she cries (of that’s the case any tips on sleeping through it) or do I pick her up re comfort her and put her down again?

I’m at a loss but between her wild arms and noises and my partners snoring I’m not getting much sleep 😅

lol I’m only laughing because I’m in the exact same position and have no idea what to to 🤣

I’ve ended up let her sleep on my chest the second half of the night because it’s the only way I can get any kind of rest! Xx

Apparently it’s something to do with there nervous system and being separated. We have the same but I just leave my LO to sleep in the next to me and hope I eventually get back to sleep!

Experience with not circumcising

Hi!
Having my baby boy any day now. My first is a girl and in a way that felt easier for the sake of feeling like I know what comes with being a girl. Me and my partner decided not to circumcise our son but everyone I know has been circumcised or circumcised their sons. I understand why people do circumcise it but it’s not something I’m comfortable with and don’t want to for the sake of “everyone else does it”.

Can anyone give me advice or tips or what to expect with not circumcising their sons? Feeling lost and anxious over it.

TIA!

Does your baby wake up

I have a 4 month old when he is sleeping dad and I will start having sex. Since the baby was born he will wake up almost every time. He’s usually a hard sleeper.
Is this normal? If this happens to you is your baby a boy or girl?

Nappies or pull ups?

Are you supposed to change from nappies to pull ups when they start walking? I’m still using nappies

Sleep training guilt

We've just sleep trained our 4.5 month old and it's worked really well. Gone from 4-5 wake ups each night with needing to feed back to sleep + nerve wracking transfers, to 10.5 hour sleeps with minimal stirring and no crying to sleep. He's a happy boy during the day too, and goes down for naps fairly easily in his cot too.

We did NOT use the cry it out method, but still why does social media shame me and make me feel like the worst parent ever 😥 there are so many nasty comments about how I don't love my son if I chose to sleep train him and how I've created attachment issues, despite no research suggesting that whatsoever.
Sorry, just came to vent ☹️

4 month old baby

Girls😭😭 I’m struggling so bad right now. My baby girl was the perfect newborn, but over the last few days it’s as if a demon has possessed her. She will cry 90% of the day, won’t have naps, doesn’t want put down at all, isn’t really interested in feeding and will NOT sleep long stretches at night.
I’m smelly, tired, hungry and loosing my mind.

I think I just wanted a vent, thank u for reading

Caught Husband Watching Girls Videos

Long story Short , am I Wrong for being upset at my husband for watching provocative lustful videos of girls half naked dancing and grinding on FB Reels AFTER he swore up and down he ignored those kind of videos. Not to mention I clearly stated and thought in that moment we both understood that I am not ok with him watching those kind of videos because 1.) they make me insecure asf since CLEARLY I do not have their bodies hello I’ve had 2 of his children and am currently 4 months Pp Breastfeeding mom
And 2.) he’s watching and enjoying another woman’s body Ass boobs etc and pleasuring his mind which makes me feel not good enough not beautiful enough for my own husband. And 3.) ITS NOT THAT HARD TO SWIPE PAST THEM. It’s a CHOICE to sit there and go down a rabbit hole of video after video after video and all the same person just in different lingerie whatever. My mind is messed up now and I don’t want him to see me naked anymore or even feel like having sex anymore because I just don’t look like those girls and I’m the complete opposite of them my body is still recovering from giving birth I’m trynna find my spark back and this just made me feel even worse now. Yes he apologized and kept saying he doesn’t want them and Bs Bs but now I don’t believe anything he says… cause I did at first and look what tf was the truth.
