You are NOT the father!

When I found out I was pregnant, I told the person I was certain about him being the father; he was not going to be involved he said, and went ghost. Blocked me and all. I filed CP.

DNA test came back , not the father. Omg. I’m so embarrassed. HONESTLY SHOCKED.

So now… I know who my child’s bio father is. There was one other person I was with during the window. I told him. He took it well.

I spent months holding on to pain bitterness and anxiety about that person I thought was my baby’s dad.
Has anyone else experienced anything dramatic like this?

Even though it feels like a weight is lifted, I feel ashamed and embarrassed at the same time. I’ve never gotten around , and this feels like a suburban Maury Povich episode.

Air con temperature on holiday

We are going on holiday tomorrow, what temperature should I keep inside our room for baby to sleep comfortably for naps and nighttime ? I mean, we rode out this hell of a week with the heat so I’m sure even 25 degree she will appreciate🤣 last night there were 33 degrees in her room !

Green in spit up

Hi, my baby has spit up this morning and I noticed it has some green in it. Google said it could be bile or mucus, but I’m just wondering if anyone has had this before? Trying to figure out whether I need to be super concerned or not, as she seems perfectly fine otherwise.

Bad latch with shields

Anyone else using nipple shields? I've been using them for the past week with my 9 day old, midwife recommended them as I have small nipples. However today she kept feeding on and off and getting snoozy then kicking off soon after. Her latch has become really shallow in the last day as she now won't open her mouth to latch, it's like she's forgotten how to do it. So I think she's not been getting enough milk because of this, and that's why she had a meltdown. Gave her expressed milk this eve so she slept for a few hours, but just tried to latch her and she's not playing ball. So looks like it will be a formula night, as I've got no more boob milk. Please, does anyone have any similar experience, or advice?

Baby carriers

Anyone got a favourite baby carrier apart from the ergobaby?

We had the baby bjorn mini but need something sturdier. I borrowed the ergobaby breeze and she doesn’t love it but not sure if it’s just that she hates not being able to see around or she doesn’t like the carrier

Partner

Hi my partner has postpartum depression. I have been fine this time around & he’s developed it quite bad . To the point his mental health is rubbing on mine daily now . He’s been told by me , go doctors get help etc. I will even sit in the appointment with him , we’ve even spoke to HV & she reckons his mental health is low so she’s recommended several things to help . How do I cope with it myself? Because I’m finding myself struggling with his mood swings on a daily basis to the point I do not even wanna be in the same household anymore . I get mental health issues, when I met him mine were severe & I got the help I needed . Now I find myself going backwards due to this . Any advice?
