Overtiredness/over stimulation??

My baby is nearly 10 weeks old and he soothes with feeding or having a bottle in his mouth to sleep. It gets to like 6 or 7pm starts crying that much he gets himself in a state goes sweaty, really red and lots of tears. I try to follow his cues but even getting him to sleep is difficult without the feeding to sleep association any help xx

Is it a woman's duty to have sex with their partner no matter how she feels and to even put her babies 2nd just to please him?

Even if she is post-partum, the default parent, doing everything around the house or maybe not feeling up to it... Should her duty be to have sex? Otherwise he has a "right" to go elsewhere for it or a "right" to treat her unfairly if doesn't? Also should the babies/children come last just to fulfill this "duty"?

Parfume

Weird question
I’m 9weeks pp and ever since I gave birth I haven’t used any perfume on my skin/clothes because I’m scared my baby will not like it or will iritate his skin. Any thought?

How is everyone having sex with so little time?

Honestly, having a newborn/baby under 1 is already challenging specially with the nights where the baby is fighting sleep…how is everyone here finding the time to have sex? Also with bigger wake windows and no family support around to watch the baby!!

Newborn not weeing for 12 hours

For the first few days he did so many wees (I’m feeding him colostrum from the breast as day 3 and my milk hasn’t come in yet) I have so much colostrum is just squirts out of me and leaks etc.

Anyway he did loads of wee’s and poos and he is still pooing but no wee for over 12 hours now.

Really worrying now. Midwives say it’s normal but to wee that much and just stop? I’ve even topped him off with formula because I’m worrying he’s not getting enough.

Anyone else been through it?

He was really drunk on the Friday night but do guys really sleep this long ? I could never sleep this long no matter what!’

6 week growth spurt or something else?

My baby is 6 weeks tomorrow and for the last couple of days he has been so fussy. He cries red in the face during wake windows, so hard to settle. Its not gas because he farts and burps like an old man and he is on dentinox. He sleeps at night, but the days are so long. I thought it may be reflux but then I read that week 6 is the worst .. has anyone else experienced the dreaded week 6 growth spurt? Is this what it is like? I'm thinking of going to the GP to discuss reflux? Shall I wait and see it out?
