Feeding less

My baby is 8 weeks 4 days and had her vaccine 3 days ago.

Both yesterday and today she seems to be feeding way less. Like every two hours during the day rather than sometimes every 40 minutes.

If I put her near the boob she will just cry if she doesn't want it which she has never done before

Is this normal

5 1/2 week old poop

I got this poo from my 5 and a half week told today, should i be worried? there’s like a brownish / blackish / greenish streak through it, never had this before and a first time mum so slightly panicked but trying to be calm🥴

Intimacy

How often do you and your partner have sex after having a baby? Specially if your baby is coming up to 1?

Want to give up baby

I don't think I can do this anymore. 7 month old, always grouchy, sleep is shit, don't feel any love for her. Nothing ever seems to make her content. I've been surviving on 3 hours of broken sleep a night since she was born. No support around. Feel like she'll be better off with a family that actually want her.

What would you do? (theoretical)

Your baby hasn’t slept for hours and hours and is clearly overtired. You’ve been trying to console them for so long you didn’t notice you’re overdue to change their nappy, and the whole yellow line has turned blue from urine. As you notice this, they fall asleep. Not a deep sleep, but asleep nonetheless. As you put them in their crib you notice their fontanelle has sunk about half a cm. You know if you change their nappy there’s a high chance it will wake them up, and they have previously refused feeds from exhaustion before. The nappy is pretty full but you don’t know what’s inside. There’s a chance you can only manage ONE of the following for the next few hours. WWYD?

Crying during feeds

Has anyone had any issues with their little one crying during feeds? My little boy is 7 weeks, and for the past 4 days or so, he’s started to scream cry mid feed - like he’s suddenly in pain. He’s always suffered a bit with gas and wind, but this has never impacted his feeding before. We’re currently trying infacol but it doesn’t seem to be making a difference. He’s also quite hard to burp so I do suspect some kind of wind, but if anyone else has experienced it and has any advice it would be much appreciated 🫶
