Has anybody used this? It’s alllll I see on my TikTok

I’m not sure if it’s just aload of rubbish or if anyone has actually used this and noticed a difference with their child’s sleep?? Or have you used anything that you think had helped their sleep?

Maybe we’re just going through a regression but it’s sooooo hard!!! Last night was so so tough, he went to bed at 7:40pm, woke up at 3:45am and I was back and forth trying to resettle him and I even gave him a bottle to try but nothing worked and after over an hour of trying I was getting so annoyed I was so tired, my partner was just asleep next to me in bed then suggesting things like ‘give him calpol’ ‘give him my phone with Mickey Mouse on’ like no fuck off and it was just winding me up that he was suggesting these things or even that he was demanding I go and do these things, like get up yourself and try and actually help me and take some pressure off me! I’m sick of doing everything 99% of the time since he was born but that’s another story😂 my eyes were just filling up with tears in the end at like 5;30am when I gave in of so many resettle times and I just feel so emotional today

I’m just desperate to get his sleep back on track so any advice, recommendations that you think might or have helped, pleaseeeeee let me know from a sleep deprived mama😭

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?

Had sex with husband and hes easier to be around

I mean....we were not intimate for years because I wasnt feeling it but we started being intimate these past two months and boy I tell you. Like a changed man. Is this really how easy it is??

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.

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?

Breast and formula

My baby is 9 weeks old and we are now forumula feeding however, we started off combi feeding. When she was born, I was on blood pressure medication which delayed my milk coming through so I was topping her up with a bottle. She was then then jaudice and had phtotherapy. She could only be off the lights for half an hour at a time, so bottle was more efficient for her. This was a really stressful time and I spoke to the midwives about just formula feeding as my milk hadn't come and I wasn't in the headspace at the time. They encouraged me to express so then my milk came. I started to express and BF however, the expressing at home was awful and wasn't helping my mental health. I was BF but she would want more after and became really fussy at the breast, she would tug and shake it but nothing would come. I would then top her up. She eventually weaned herself off the breast and took a bottle much better. I now find myself getting really sad when I see other people successfully BF their baby. I know everyone's journey is different and formula feeding has allowed my husband ti share the load a bit and for me to get out the house, but I can't help feeling down about it all.
