3h first nap

Anyone else’s 4 month old sleeping for 3 hours in their first nap? I don’t wanna wake her but online it says you should only let them have 2 hours per nap, she goes to bed at 9 every night with no problems and wakes up at 6:30 - 7 every morning, only had one issue last night with her having a small kick off and going bed at 9:30 and waking up at 5:30 this morning so ok starting to think it could be a problem, should I wake her? Thank youse

Episiotomy

Ladies who have had an episiotomy, how long afterwards did we shave/trim?

TMI feel like I have a jungle going off down there and my stitches are starting to hurt a bit and I can’t exactly see the stitches/scar it’s self.
I’m only 2 weeks pp so appreciate it will still be a little uncomfortable.

Baby crying in playpen

I feel like the worst mum in the world.

My baby is so clingy at the moment but has started crawling, so whenever I need to leave the room or do something, I have to put him inside his playpen. Sometimes this is just for a few minutes while I go to the bathroom, but sometimes can be for longer if I am making dinner or something. I am a single mum and live alone so I don’t know what another option is, but the whole time I leave him, he is crying hysterically. I keep thinking he may get used to it but he still hasn’t.

Is this bad for his development to be left to cry? Does anyone have any advice on other options?

Car seat

My son hates the car (3 months old) to the point where he is inconsolably crying.
I’ve tried changing car seats, thinking that may have been the issue - he hates the other one also.
What are some tips and tricks to get him to enjoy it more?

I would like to have someone to vent to who won’t ghost me.

A lot on my mind rn spinning; have a 1 year old and a lot of things going on with her father as he is refusing to coparent and his family is awful. I hope to not be judged but always end up being critiqued.
