Can I start breastfeeding at 4 months

I am a first time mom and I chose not to breast-feed my baby and mainly focused on formula feed. Hes never latched or anything. Is it too late to start or try it out? I don’t know what to start. Does anybody have any tips?

My partner sleeps in till 11am. We have a toddler together and he has a kid with someone else. When his kid is here he still sleeps in and makes me do all the work and it upsets me. I’m also sick and he doesn’t care.

Am I being unreasonable for being this upset?

4 month old only have 3 bottles a day

Hi, my 4 month old is only averaging 3 bottles a day of 210mls a day. So only have 630mls in 24 hours. He sleeps all the way through the night, normally going to bed around 8.30ish and waking between 9/10am. I’m a little worried as it’s on the low end of the milk he’s supposed to be having. He was having good weight gain last time I checked (we have HV booked in for next week) any tips at how to get another bottle in him during his waking hours?

Bath time scaries

My newborn baby (5 weeks) hates the bath so much that it causes explosive poops 😭 I tried using a cloth over her to keep her warm, warming the room, and using a gentle baby shower head. She hates sponge bath/wash cloth baths as well. It makes me so sad to hear her cry like she’s being traumatized. Any recommendations would be appreciated! Also pls tell me it gets better ❤️‍🩹

My baby cried mid feed

I had him May 1st and recently (last few days) he will be mid drink and then get really mad and start crying or fussing. He’ll throw his back straight and then bring his legs to his belly and then kick….and then I’ll put my nipple back in his mouth and he’ll be fine and then get mad and cry again. And he’ll have my nipple in his mouth and then stretch it really long 💀 while keeping it in his gums. but he does this when being bottle fed as well. I don’t supply enough for him so we bottle feed him formula as well and he’ll be drinking and then he gets mad and just starts crying out of nowhere

Anyone know what may cause this fit? I was thinking he could be gassy so I burp him (my parents think he’s gassy or upset stomach), or he doesn’t want to eat but he shows signs he’s hungry….so I’m kind of stumped. I thought maybe over feeding. Anyone else had this happen?

Neighbours smoking weed

Had my little boys window open because of the hot weather. Was sat downstairs and thought ew I can smell weed wtf. Went upstairs and noticed it was coming from my 6 month olds room. Immediately shut the window and as I did I noticed our next door neighbours sat in the garden smoking weed. Now obviously it’s their garden and they are entitled to do what they want in their garden but it’s kinda pissed me off as now my little boys room STINKs of weed. Might sound stupid but is it still ok for him to sleep in that room tonight? Or will I have to move him into another room?

Would it be okay? Would you allow your husband to watch others while masturbating?

This is a bit personal me asking but would you allow your husband/partner to masturbate/lust over other women/females if you just can’t have sex with him. Sometimes we go days and weeks even without sex but ngl this has felt like the longest I have ever gone without having sex or doing anything sexual with him. We have a very playful relationship and for the most part we’re best friends but the sex life isn’t there anymore. Part of it being I have this lifelong disease that stops me from having sexual course or getting in the mood. So it may be a few days out of the week/month when I’m good down there. Also, my sex drive has just been very low lately which sucks. I don’t want him to suffer just because I can’t be sexual. So would you allow it? He already looks at porn and tumblr so it’s like should I just give up and let him do him
