Baby waking up

Does anyone else's baby have a sixth sense?! Anytime I get up to use the toilet in the middle of the night or try start my day before she wakes, she wakes up. But when its her Dad doing the same or getting ready for work, not a peep!

Normal grandad behaviour

Apologies for this post, I've never had grandparents and my child does - so I dont know whats normal.

I have a toddler (2), her grandad; tickles her (randomly in random situations), kisses her (requests if when saying bye), pats bum , hugs (requests it), and whispers to her (randomly)

Unsure if this is normal. Please note I am also freshly postpartum with postpartum anxiety and all this news about paedophilia is really getting me worried.

Today made a joke when she was eating ice cream "wide mouth, come inside".

My mom

Omg, my mom is straight up annoying me. To the point where I just want to give her my baby and move on with my life (I’m married and have one child lol)

She literally thinks she’s the mother of my child. She keeps making comments saying I should start solids with my 5 month old soon to be 6, but he’s not even sitting up by himself yet. I told her he’s my baby and I’m the mother not her. I told her she already had her kids and did what she wanted, now let me do me.

Yesterday we went to get out pedicure and my baby was looking at me and smiling at me when she was holding him and the pedicurist said “aww he knows who mama is” and she said “yeah he’s always happy when I hold him” 💀 I wanna tell her off and I already did but man she’s doing too much. She takes care of him while I go to work so she literally sees him more than I do and STILL wants to see him on my days off when she should be doing something else.

Like I love how she loves my son but damn let me breathe as a mother.

When does it get easier

Baby is 10 weeks and although she is considered a good baby I still can't deal with the crying to get her to sleep at night and the constant battles of sleeping during the day. I'm getting at least 6 hours of broken sleep a night but I am broken 😅😅. I love the happy moments she is such fun but the bad moments are so bad they ruin the thought of the happy moments

Just need a rant

Feels like I'm living currently just to do everything to get her to sleep and my life revolves around figuring out how to get her to sleep next as no two times are the same

Which is more disgusting...

I know this is a weird one so hear me out.
Imagine you're out in public, what's worse? Smelling a strangers fart or smelling their burp?

There is something soooo disgusting about a burp with a smell that I just can't comprehend🤢

Vitamin D drops

How are you giving your babies the vitamin D drops? Midwifes told me to put it drop by drop on nipple but now she is eating less frequently thats not really possible! Health visitor said to do it on my finger
Can I just drop it directly into her mouth? She holds her mouth open for it so it's easy enough but wasn't sure if there was a reason they couldn't have it all in one go!
Thanks!

Refusing bottle

I need some advice, (HV are not help). I have a 4 month old (EBF)& let’s just say I’m exhausted & need to sleep or get my life back a bit but she will not take a bottle at all. I keep trying her with a bottle, she used to take it when she was 3 weeks old but then had oral thrush for 2 months & wasn’t feeding well on breast & completely refused bottle. Husband has tried, we’ve tried formula & breast milk, different bottles, different teats & still nothing! Help! Mama needs some sleep 😭
