Consideration

Is it me or.... Is it slightly annoying that everyone checks on the baby and of course they are doing good bc YOU are keeping them alive but I don't recall anypne asking how you are doing? If you are recovering well... Like I'm struggling everyday mentally... physically... emotionally etc and it's like none of that is considered you just expected to show up every day with a 😁
I'm tired of people expecting this access to my child with no regard or respect for me and/or my baby's schedule like stay out his face all the time like chill out for a second.
Thanks for listening.

You have every right to feel the way you feel. Also remind yourself it’s also okay to take a breather from all that you just had a baby and all you want is sometime to you and your baby to get adjusted to a routine. But also remind yourself that you need to and you need to be taken care of. To get your coffee , nails done, long shower , or take you and the baby for a walk whatever you can do for you to feel good 😌! Mommy friend here knows exactly how your feeling 💘

Some of my in-laws (who were recently gone no contact with) were very rude and inconsiderate on me. Even “small” like acting like my daughter gets everything about her from (their) “our side of the family” 😪

Yes or they will tell you what u should do or ask if you did it but never offer help or ask if your okay.

My mum always told me to ask how mum was doing before asking about the baby, it’s been instilled in me from such a young age. Always say “wow you look amazing, how are you finding things” or “how are you coping? How is it going?” etc. so I just naturally gravitate to mum first and as soon as she’s given the all clear I ask about baby. I know if you’ve shown up with your child that that baby is doing just fine 🤣

Car seat help!! 🙏🙏

(Please ignore the messy car)
We had this car seat fitted yesterday by Halfords but the seat belt is in the way of putting my baby in. The guy who fitted it said it has to be like this so it’s diagonal in the back but I can’t put my baby in from the outside I have to go inside the car and buckle her in.
There must be another way 😩 or some trick to fix the seat belt down easily, put baby in, then put it back out? I need to sort this out asap because she already hates the car seat and she’s especially annoyed at it after daycare so I can’t make it worse 🥲

Having to take baby everywhere

Do people take their babies with them to hairdressing appointments ? I’m desperate to get my hair done but my 4.5 month old is literally glued to me 🤣 she feeds every 2 hours so I can’t really leave her with any yet !

Breastfeeding

Just wondering how often everyone is breastfeeding? My 8 day old is on the boob all the time and several people have suggested a dummy. I’m not anti getting him one but not sure if I’m just giving in too soon and it’s normal for him to be feeding often at this stage. He’s definitely not only eating once every 3 hours!

How do you put your baby to sleep for a nap? I’m losing my sanity it’s getting so hard and he’s always been sleeping on me

Ease my mind please 🥺😭

I'm lactose intolerant, it's gotten more mild as an adult (next day I live on the toilet with a belly ache, it's not an allergy but an intolerance so can be quite painful and was horrible as a child)

My sweet girl is 2 weeks and 6 days old, I was changing her nappy and found a small amount of coffee ground blood. Straight away it reminded me of the struggles my mum had with me and how she was so scared of the blood in the nappy she took me to A&E.

I've called our doctor and booked an appointment but I'm just having a horrible day mentally with it. I hope she doesn't have it as it's not nice to live with and it causes so much discomfort especially her being so small 🥺

She spits up a lot, she can poo 4-5 times an hour, she gets visibility uncomfortable when she's gassy and once she's relieved, she's so much more happy.

Has anyone else got a baby with cmpa? Any advice as I'm almost certain this is what it is, I just need my doctor to confirm 🥺

What would you do?

So I've just seen a profile on here of a mum who commented on a post and being nosy as I am I just clicked on her photo and can't stop thinking that her son has a lot of features of a baby with Sanfilippo syndrome.
I have never spoken to her or matched or anything.
Would you tell her? Just in case she doesn't know or hasn't heard of this?
If you were her, would you like to know?
