Have you tried contact naps? 2.5 weeks is still so young and their norm is to be attached to someone.

Oh and for you to nap too, look into safe cosleeping. Happy cosleeper on Instagram is a wealth of knowledge.

I feel the SAME! Mine is just over 2 weeks and he only sleeps if I am holding him. I’ll put him down and within 5 minutes he is crying, it’s literally killing me 😭

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 ❤️‍🩹

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

Infant dyschezia, help!!!!

My baby was 10 weeks old yesterday and I think he has Infant dyschezia. Before 6 weeks he pooed after every feed, mustard colour and seeded (breastfed baby) and wasn’t in any pain. Then since 6 weeks he’s been going once a day and the colour has changed to brown, watery mucus, he is in so much pain screaming and crying real tears. I’ve taken him to the doctors 3 times and they just say he will grow out of it or it’s down to his vaccines (even though he only had them a week ago). Other than when he’s trying to pass wind or poop, his a very happy baby, smiling and laughing away. What do I do? Can post pictures of poop if needed.

Family visits

Hey there
Just wondering peoples thought we have kept in our 2 week bubble since our daughters birth and today been the first day of social gathering with family with in-laws. However I am sat here now feeling really upset and overwhelmed of how it went. As in arrived my baby was asleep in the pram and mother in law helped herself to my daughter woke her up and then the evening kind of felt like she was passed about people changed her without asking. Yes was lovely seeing everyone but it’s left me feeling quite upset and come home not wanting to stop holding my daughter like is that wrong I’m feeling like this x

Anyone else’s baby end up like this every morning?

No matter how far I put her to the left side she always ends up moving right up to the right side? I do move her back when I notice but I’m just worried she’ll end up there for a prolonged period of time if I don’t wake up for a while?
