Bedtime Battles

Me and my baby co sleep and she’s EBF. The last few nights bedtime has been a crazy battle😴
She’s 10 months in a few days so I’m wondering if it’s the regression starting.
I feed to sleep and she starts nodding off but then she’s all of a sudden got bursts of energy and is crawling and standing all over the bed but before bed she’s grumpy so obviously tired! (Currently writing this from the living room because I’ve got back up with her to try and let her burn some energy)
Any one else having this with nearly 10 month olds?!

Yes! 😭 Put her down at 7 last night and she got back up a tiny bit later and ended up only going to bed after 10 and then was up at 3:30 and only went back to sleep at 6. Also just with the sudden bursts of energy but so miserable before having milk. Mine turns 10m tomorrow 🫩🫩🫩 I am so very tired. She's never been a good sleeper but holy moly this is a new level of exhaustion

Omg same! Mine is 10 months old, we are still co sleeping, hes takes ages to settle, like an hour or so, bursts of energy and crawling or wanting to play. Feeds to sleep but keeps using up my supply (which is low after lots of blocked ducts over a few weeks) before his energy bursts and then I have nothing to feed to sleep so he's waking himself up fighting for milk. Won't take a bottle to sleep 😭 He's using me as a dummy all night too. Its so hard atm 😓😩

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!!

Help. Are men really this lazy??

My boyfriend and I drunk till 4am on Friday night and I woke him at 7.45 on Saturday morning to open his front door to go to work. But he never messaged me till 3.40pm and said he was only wakened. He was really drunk on the Friday night but do guys really sleep this long ? I could never sleep this long no matter what!’

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?

Own bedroom

What age did everyone transfer their little ones into their own room? I feel like I’m holding on for my own selfish reasons 😭
