How often are people bathing their babies?

My LO is 3.5months old, we bath her once a week, maybe twice, unless its been really hot and shes been sweating, or she need it from spitting up on herself

Just curious how often others are bathing their babies

Healing from a trauma bond while expecting 💔🤰

I’m 27 weeks pregnant and dealing with the aftermath of a trauma-bonded relationship ending. He moved on while we were still together, I was 14 weeks pregnant. The baby was planned, we tried for just over a year. My brain is torturing me comparing myself to his new partner, even though I know he wasn't good for me. I just want him back, it hurts so much. I just can’t seem to switch my mind off and I’m so fed up. I really want to focus on my baby, but the withdrawal feels impossible today. Has anyone else managed to heal from a toxic ex while pregnant? I’d love to connect with anyone who understands & can give me any hope.

I need some serious help

I’ve been tracking and noticed a pattern, every time we see my mum, sleep, our the window, doesn’t matter how asleep he is before I put him down or how well he was sleeping before, if they’re alone for even 2 seconds he just screams the second he is put down and I leave the room, he didn’t do this after it was my mum and my brother in the room and I left for 2 seconds, only if it’s only her. Every single time, nap time is a 3 hour screaming match, I cannot cope, how do I get him back to his system, he has to have it so specific or it ruins night sleep. What the hell has she done to him in the 30 seconds it takes me to step round the door to fill up his water or finally get a wee alone. Doesn’t matter if we’ve seen other people later in the day. Doesn’t do it for anyone else. I don’t wanna hear don’t see her again okay I know if this is how he’s reacting to her it’s not good, please don’t, it’s my mother I’ve already not got a dad. What the hell do I do other than remove her.

I feel like a awful mother

It might be weird but long story short while cleaning by accident a plastic basket ended up on the cooker and start smoking the rooms. (Studio flat so smoke everywhere)
I got rid of the smoke pretty quickly and it wasn’t bad enough to trigger the fire alarm but I have been crying for the past 3 hours because the baby was in the house and I feel awful of how can I make such a stupid mistake. What if anything worse would’ve happened to the baby. What if the smoke affected him in any way. (He s alert,feeding and totally fine so far) but I can’t settle the feeling that I’m a terrible mother and I put him in danger.
My partner is keep trying to reassure me that it was just an accident and could’ve happened to anyone but I just start crying over and over again…

4 month regression

What the f... is this???😭😭

Its the constant fussiness and crying and the struggles to put them down to sleep.

Wow!!!!

I can't wait for it to end!!

nursery, work and toddler

what is everyone doing with nursery and working? Me and husband both work full time. Today is the last settling in day at nursery but we’re doing the 30hours so we’re taking her half days. My little one is 14 months.

I’m looking after her whilst trying to wfh in the morning, settling her in nursery is emotionally draining as it is and then trying to work in a nearby cafe after is so hard.

I don’t know how I can sustain this lifestyle of wfh in mornings with her she’s so active, and very needy atm (my husband stays when he can but his job is onsite a lot).I’m typing this as she’s refusing to take her nap 🙂🙂🙂

How is everyone tackling this?

Struggling

I am 22 and my husband 25, we got married 3 months ago and always knew we wanted a family. I always felt I was made to be a mom and always had that dream. We weren’t planning of having a baby that soon, we wanted to wait a couple years. Since we found out we were having a baby we have been through a lot of emotions.
I feel so guilty to say that but a part of me is “sad” and nostalgic of all the moments that I could have had with my husband for the next couple of years, just the two of us. I know I am going to love to be a mom and we are going to love our child so much and won’t think that when he/ she is here. But for now I am just going through a lot of emotions about it especially since it was unexpected.
I trust God timing just really struggling of all the changes coming up.
Hope it makes sense 🤍
