Bedtime

Hi all,
My 6 month old goes down between 7/7:30pm and then wakes at around 5am for a feed and has a further 30/40 minute sleep before being up for the day but I’m just wondering what time is bedtime for your little ones? 7pm works well for us but a lot of people have said it’s too early etc for her age so wondering if I should push this to 8pm or even 9pm 🤔

Thank you 🩷

Bath

Hi ladies I’m 8 days postpartum after having a c section just wondered when people started too have baths? Just cautious as I’ve been avoiding getting it directly wet in the shower 🥹

Am I overreacting?

I am a part of a mom group that it's called stay at home moms unfiltered. I posted about how I was tired of my baby yelling at me and they assumed it was me saying I'm tired of my baby. If I was why is that wrong? Being tired of them and loving them are two different things. I wouldn't normally share that but this is a supposedly unfiltered group....I don't get it.

Not myself anymore

I dont know what to do or who to be since having a baby.
I was never meant to get pregnant. I didnt plan it and had no idea what type of mother I would be.
I have been out with friends to the pub with my boyfriend and baby. His life is exactly the same. Mine has changed completely. We had the baby in the beer garden with us and it was me being judged, not him.
I dont feel myself anymore. I cant do any of my usual hobbies. I cant run yet I cant drink with friends. I am not breast feeding. I feel like my baby doesnt even need me. Sometimes I have terrible thoughts I could just walk out of the house and keep walking and she would never need me in life.
I love her more than anything I just dont feel needed or like I am good enough mother. I dont know who I am anymore.

How do you know when your marriage is over?

I hate to say ask this, only been married 4 years but feeling lately like I don’t even know my partner anymore

He clearly isn’t investing time or care into our marriage

When I cry and express my feelings he shows no sympathy or love, never apologies for hurting me

He’s always defending himself and I feel alone

I truly don’t know what to do. I’m 19 weeks pregnant have a 2.5 year old

I’m scared and don’t want this for my life

First night in own room

Tonight is the first night my baby girl is going to bed in her own room and I feel so anxious.

This is my second baby so I know the drill, but I feel lost without her. We have been putting her down for naps during the day in her cot and she does really well so I'm hoping tonight she does well too.

Anything I can do to stop feeling anxious? I'm going to be watching the monitor like a hawk. 😂

I know it's a few weeks early (born 2nd Jan) but my partner is really struggling on the sofa so he wants to come back to bed but as he struggles with hayfever and asthma he makes a lot of noises during the night so I don't want her to get woken up.

Hoping for reassurance/change!

My little girl is now 7 months old, since she was around 3-4 months so has had quite profound stranger anxiety and bursts into tears immediately at anyone picking her up or being passed to anyone who isn't me or my fiancé. I thought/hoped it was just a phase a few months ago but it's still very much the same witg no improvement.

She is always around people, we don't stay in much and I see friends and family regularly so it's not that she is couped up just with me and her dad. She is happy, smiley and babbling around other people but the second she is passed to someone or picked up by anyone other than me and her dad she combusts immediately into floods of tears and ao distressed.

Is anyone else experiencing this or has experienced it and seen any improvement? She is going to nursery in January and I'm dreading it! We have no opportunity to have an hour away from her due to the distress it causes, just hoping it's something she eventually eases out of

Would love any advice/similar stories to help me think I'm not on my own! X
