Supply affected overnight?

My 4 week old slept 5 hours last night which meant it was 6 hours between feeds. Whilst I enjoyed the sleep and know it’s unlikely to last I’m worried a few days like this could impact my supply. She feeds each evening from 5-9 every hour ish
I’m EBF and not pumping, would you set an alarm and wake in the night to try and dream feed/hand express? I had such a terrible BF journey triple feeding with my first I really don’t want my supply to drop.
Baby is feeding well throughout the day (every 2.5 hours or less) and has enough wet nappies.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Baby fall

I’m posting this anonymous because I don’t want to be prejudged. My little girl is 9 month old and has just fell off the sofa, I literally stood up and turned my back for a second to grab something, done it loads of times and never had an issue, it happened at between 7-7:30. She’s been sick a little down herself just before. Am I the worst mam in the world? Will she be alright having a nap? The mam guilt is something else right now. We’ve been up since 5:30 so she’s getting tired as well

Did I make the right decision?

I left my marital home because I felt so unsupported by my partner and now Im feeling like it wasn’t the very best decision. Imagine trying to explain to your man how heavy postpartum feels and he tells you “but its not like you are the only woman going through that”. Am I being dramatic ?😭

What’s something that you either experienced personally or witnessed someone experience and makes you feel sore just at the thought of it?

Recovery advice

I’m nearly 3 weeks PP and have started experiencing a sharp pain in the edges of my scar. It’s not constant and I have checked the wound, it’s clean and has no rash or anything around it but it’s still quite painful. I’ve been pretty active since I left hospital, out for short walks and such and trying to do things so I’m not sure if I have overdone it and just have my body telling me to slow it down or if it’s something I should be concerned about.
Thanks for any advice!
