Breastfeeding

Does anyone else hate breastfeeding? I EBF for a week during hospital but then had to express, feed and top up with formula for a while due to issues with my baby not feeding from me for well over 10 days plus he was losing weight.

Originally I didn’t mind it at all and was so proud I was able to do it. Since he has started feeding from me again I go through phases of being so overstimulated and overwhelmed by him feeding and psychically cannot stand the feeling of him feeding - even when he has a good latch I want to take him off

I also find it so boring which probably doesn’t help but I feel awful for feeling this way. I can hack like 10 minutes before I want to take him off because the feeling is just too much

Anyone else? Did you just power through or did you give up? I really really don’t want to give up but I’m so scared I’ll just sack of off because of how I feel

Have you seen this episode and do you have any sympathy for the parents?

They said their baby usually has a 2 hour nap around that time so they thought she would just sleep in the tent and then lost track of time...

Phobias

Any mums out there with phobias? How did you get over your phobias? And any tips on how to not pass them onto your little one?

Newborn sleeping

So I'm moving into a two bed flat and gonna have a nursery set up for lil bubba and I've already brought a cot at the ready for it! I've seen that your baby should sleep in the same room with you until they are 6 months old or so but I asked my family and a lot of them said they didn't do that (including when I was a baby), I was just wondering what other people did when they had a newborn as I'm confused on what to do?😭

Overtired

My daughter is 1 month old tomorrow and this has happened twice so far. She’s tired to the point where she’s crying for a good half an hour and the only thing that gets her to fall asleep is either walking around with here or putting her in her pram and rocking it back and forth. Any tips and tricks?

Toddlers hitting

So I’m looking for more things to try to stop my son from hitting, he has just turned 2. I feel like I have tried every method that I can think of to stop him from hitting and I’m not sure what to do anymore so I would like some suggestions from some more experienced parents! He has also recently started not specifically spitting, but like blowing raspberries, causing him to spit any advice is appreciated!
