At my wits end

I follow the cues to set her to sleep and every flipping night. We spend 2-4 hours trying to get her to sleep!

Go to every flipping room with the red light, lullaby and roll her constantly as she keeps attempting to do it once we set her down after rocking.

Any tips as I’m getting tired and just want to rest!

Husband has had no joy either with his methods

If she wants to roll to get comfy let her. If she gets stuck she will let you know. Something that really helped me with my first and I still use it now she's 2 is, if you cant get them down in 20 mins give up and do 30 mins for something high energy for babies this age something highly stimulating has the same effect, then do a calm down 10 mins, book, low lights and try again and just repeat. 9 times out of 10 they go down after the first burst. You might have also hit the 6 month sleep regression which may just be pot luck what work and what doesn't just try keep your lead up to put down the same or as similar as possible else it can get worse (we found out the hard way with our first😬)

Have you tried a bath right before the last bottle ? I find my twins will be KO’d before the bottle is even finished !

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"?

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!!

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?

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?
