Anyone else?

Does anyone else's baby kick, slap, punch and scratch whilst breastfeeding? They are so frantic and it takes so long for them to calm down. I absolutely hate it! It's turned something so beautiful into something I actually dread. I feel so touched out by it all. 6 months in, it wasn't like this at the start but I feel truly fed up and fatigued. 😩

What to do 😩

My daughter is a side sleeper. I put her down on her back every single time and she rolls onto her side and will fall asleep. She's never rolled over onto her tummy yet but I'm paranoid waiting for the day she can and I won't sleep again until she can fully hold her head up 😩😩😭😭 she's 2 weeks and 5 days old.

I've tried constantly moving her back onto her back, every single time she moves onto her side or fusses until I let her. Once she's on her side she'll drift off into a peaceful sleep. I'm forever constantly checking her to see if she'a breathing or rolled onto her tummy and gotten stuck.

The picture is of the position she will get herself into every time. With her hand under her head. I'm lost for ideas please help 😭😩

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?

General Anesthesia

Hello all! My son is 3 1/3 and yesterday morning he had a procedure done where he needed general anesthesia, he needed caps on his teeth. Since then, he seemed okay after the first few hours but then night fell, and he has been up every couple hours crying saying his tummy hurts and of course in turn I have gotten no sleep either. We have children's Tylenol, I gave him one dose a few hours after but he refuses anymore. He's had soft foods, yogurt, cottage cheese, oatmeal, smoothie and lots of water and Pedialyte. I don't know what else to do. He is asleep right now but I know when he wakes he's not going to be feeling good and I am at a loss of what else to do to help him... I feel horrible and I just have little patience left and I feel so bad about that. Is there anything else I can do or does any moms know how much longer this type of lingering pain lasts?

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.

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.
