💔💔!!

At this Pacific moment, all I really wanna do is breakdown. I don’t have no more tears to cry 😢 I’m so fucking lost right now💔💔 my biggest issue is that I don’t know how to open up talk to somebody I want to💔💔🥺 I’m dealing with so much shit 😔😔 my people always told me growing up crying is not OK that’s showing your weak 💔😔 that’s showing you’re not going to be able to be in this world 🌍 if you’re weak, I guess that’s why I can’t open up to nobody I’m those kind of people that will hold my feelings in my anger 😡 and then when the moment comes, that’s when I will let it all out😤😤😢 I’ve never been told it’s OK to cry it’s OK not to be OK ✅ I miss my auntie I miss My Cousin 😔😔😔 I Don’t Know 🤦🏾‍♀️ if it’s just hormones because I am 24 weeks pregnant right now but I’ve been feeling like this way before I got pregnant 🤰🏽😔😔 I understand they have people in this world 🌍 That is going through way more than I can ever imagine but everybody still needs somebody to talk to this world is not easy my dad always told me growing up God gave his weakest soldier the hardest missions to see how they are going to handle it and coming from me, I can’t do it no more 💔💔😔 the only reason I’m really stopping is because of My Kids. They are the only reason 👣👣👣💔!!!!!

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.

Share your recommendation and experience please

I’m a first-time mum and would love some recommendations for a good nappy brand that you’ve personally found to be leak-proof, gentle on sensitive skin, and overall parent-friendly to use. I’d really appreciate your opinions and experiences.

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?

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?

Help :(

My baby is 17 weeks / 4 months today. Since 9 weeks old he hasn’t had a night feed and was going to bed around 7ish, waking around 2-3am taking his dummy and going back to sleep until 6ish. He was teething Monday-Wednesday and got cold/flu symptoms with that and so started waking more in the night and needing feeds. (He is exclusively breastfed). This has continued and the last 2 nights have been waking every 1-2 hours and needing feeding to get back to sleep. I feel like a zombie. Wondering whether it could be the teething, the heat and needing more fluid or a regression.
Has anybody tried switching from a next to me crib to a big cot? Wondering whether to do this and then whether to have the cot in our room or to try him in his own room but I am hesitant to do that and not hear him / the monitor over his white noise machine. TIA xx
