Bedtime tips

Little boy is 10 months old but super attached .He’s been breastfed since birth but have now switched to formula everything is going well apart from bedtime or anytime he’s on his own , he’s very distressed when I place him in his cot and I end up going into his room endless times in the space of 30 minutes then just give up and place him in my bed . No judgement please just any helpful tips I can try .I also don’t want to do the cry it out method . Again no judgement that’s just something I don’t want to do

Thank you

Overhang!

I’m 11 weeks postpartum and now have an overhanging stomach. What did people do to get rid of this?

I hate it! It gets sweaty and can smell - I’m washing the area so many times a day 😢

Breastfeeding/feeding advice

It’s soooo difficult!!
I am trying my hardest to breastfeed, I’m only on day 6 and I know I shouldn’t beat myself up, but we just stayed in the hospital for 2 days as he had lost too much weight. Started giving breast and formula. I keep getting conflicting advice from midwife’s and nurses on what to do. I want to bf, but I also want to make sure he’s fed.
But then I get told if I give formula my supply will go. It’s only been 6 days and I just want him to be healthy but constantly worrying he’s not getting any milk from me.

I’ve also been told to not pump as this will lessen my supply too.

Breast Feeding

When I was younger, my mom used to explain to me that she didn’t breast-feed because her breasts were really big in this new generation. Is that a thing?
I currently wear a 36 triple D or 36E and I just wanna make sure when I do start breast-feeding that I won’t smother my baby with my breast

Velcro baby temperament

Baby is 2 months old tomorrow and I know she’s still so young and brand new to the world. She’s super sensitive due to her tummy issues so she’s always been a high needs, contact napping, constant holding/rocking/soothing, and co-sleeping baby. I’m a FTM and can’t handle letting her CIO. I love her so much but my back, shoulders, and neck are messed up from always holding her and having to rock her. Did anyone else w a baby w a temperament similar to my daughter’s grow out of it? Or did they grow up to be very sensitive toddlers as well?

Also, anyone have any experience w the Moonboon?

Breastfeeding struggles

Anyone else feeling absolutely defeated with breastfeeding! My boy was born with a tongue tie, took 2 weeks too get it sorted, felt like we had latches sorted for maybe 2 days, then I got a bleb on one nipple, that's been excruciating and it's now burst and I don't feel like my son is latching right or it's just so painful it feels that way. Mostly feeding him from my left side so that's becoming sore now from being the main source of food and I also feel I'm not producing enough milk as he's always hungry once he's stopped feeding, after 2.5 weeks exclusively breastfeeding I had to give up and give him a bottle of formula to give myself a break. I've not been expressing because it's been too painful just to feed nevermind using a pump too and I just feel absolutely defeated after trying so hard to have to probably supplement with formula now as I have no supply pumped for him! I know it seems daft cause it's only formula but my first struggled with breastfeeding and was on bottles before we even left the hospital, I really wanted it to work this time and I feel like I'm failing 😭

This is mostly for moms with teenagers. When you go to talk to your teenager at home or even in the car and they are scrolling on their phone. Do they look up? Yes? Or do they scrolling?

My daughter is really attached to her phone. I I will sometimes come in her room and ask her a question or talk to her and I do give her space but sometimes I need to ask her a question or talk to her and then I say can you please put your phone down and look up at me. It's like I have to keep repeating myself and sometimes she doesn't look up. Sometimes she'll keep scrolling and it's really frustrating and I'm just curious if anybody else deals with the same thing.
