Suddenly fussy

My baby is 11 weeks old. She always took some time to settle for naps as she’s very nosy but the last few days she incessantly cries when it’s time for nap time, will only stay down for 30-40 minutes and is clearly still tired.

In the night she used to just wake up for a feed and then go to sleep but now cries and doesn’t want to go back to sleep.

Is this normal for this gestation or?

In a similar boat - we’ve been battling cat naps for weeks now. I’m lucky if she stays down for 40 mins in the day. She’s also much harder to get back to sleep if she wakes at night. Think it’s normal for this age, they are having a big growth spurt around 12 weeks and becoming so much more alert!

No interest in sex

I have NO interest in sex anymore. I'm so touched out and tired by the end of the day i don't want my husband to go anywhere near me. He has gently brought up that i might be struggling a little postpartum. He feels the distance between us and has said he is worried about me. I'm about to be 1 year postpartum with my second baby. Is this normal or should i be seeking professional help?

Ever had these thoughts?

Honestly it breaks my heart thinking about it when the thoughts come up.. but have any of you ever thought to yourself about "maybe my child would be better off with someone else"? I have but mainly because there's so many problems here. He's loved and supported and well fed and healthy. But we have very little money, I can't drive due to medical issues, he has medical issues himself, I'm recently divorced but live with my ex(no where to go)... I'm the main one taking care of him even with others around.

4 YO refusing nap

My 4YO is taking a hard stance on no napping. I know he’s age appropriate to stop naps but the trouble is him falling asleep at 6PM and sleeping the rest of the night.

Not sure what to do as I navigate this territory.

Feeding

How much are all your little ones drinking in a full day? My little girl is 9 weeks tomorrow and drinks between 120-150ml fir each bottle she goes every 3 hours ish but will then tend to go for a long stretch through the night as we give her a bath to settle her for the night. Shes had 750ml for this entire day.

Competitive cousin. How to deal with it?

I have an older cousin who wanted everything to happen to her first. She wanted to be married first, have a baby first and always be ahead. It’s fair considering that she’s older than me even though everyone has got their own timeline. She always questioned me about when am I planning for kids as she was trying too. When I announced my pregnancy, she announced that she has decided to not have kids anymore. I understand it’s not easy to take the news but why do women take this as a betrayal?
