This probably sounds pathetic of me, but here goes…

We have been super lucky that my husband got just over 4 weeks off work with us. But he goes back to work tomorrow, and is working a late; 11am-10pm. And I am terrified.
he has been the absolute rock in the evenings when im getting tired and baby is getting fussy.
How has everyone managed that first day? or even first week?
i did meal prep a load of pasta salad today so I know ive got 1 meal I can grab each day without any prep time

Husband going back to work

My husband goes back to work on Wednesday and I'm panicking. We have a four week old and when my husband has had to leave us for a few hours here and there it's like baby knows I'm scared and he ends up having a really bad time, screaming and crying, won't settle. I've lost all my confidence on being able to be his mum and make him feel safe and calm when I'm alone.

My husband has been our rock while home, he does all the cooking and cleaning, he reminds me to stay hydrated and brings me water and anything else I need when nap trapped. He's been incredible so I'm terrified of him not being here for 10 hours a day Monday to Friday. We have no family and our friends all work full time Monday to Friday too so there's no one that can come over to help me. When he's not here I feel so useless and helpless, how do you all cope?

Musicals with your kids!

So I have the opportunity to take my kiddo, 4.5 to see The Lion King. It is my favourite disney movie and favourite musical, so taking him to see it.would be everything. It was last here around 2015 and prior to that, 2004. I saw it borh times.

He has audhd, so I am not sure how he will go.

He has been to several movies (Elio, Smurfs, Mario, Jurassic Park (don't judge, fell asleep 🤣), Paw Patrol etc) and has been really good.

So with The Lion King, we have the option of a sensory friendly session, which could be good.

2 of my friends and my sister also want to see it and am wondering what to do.

Try and see it with them AND my son. See it with them THEN my son. Just see it with them. Just see it with my son.

So conflicted.

It runs until October, I believe, so he will be nearly 5 then.

Just a little FTM rant

I felt so bad!! I changed my son and held him for a few minutes, then I put him in the pack and play to make some eggs and coffee, I also loaded the dishwasher. He started crying and my eggs were ready. I kept telling Noah “hold on mama’s here mama’s here.” but then my coffee went off. He was still crying. I went and picked him up while the cold water was running over the eggs and I put him back down. He started crying again and I told him I just need to peel the eggs and make my coffee really quick and get my water. I picked him up and gave him boobie…. I still feel bad for leaving him in there for maybe 12 minutes crying 😭😭😭😭

Veggie weaning

I’m vegan and my partner isn’t. Our baby will be weaning soon and I would like to make their diet as veggie as possible but also want to make sure she is getting what she needs and obviously open to giving her what’s best for her health. Has anyone got experience or resources for weaning babies to be vegetarian? Can it be healthy or do they miss out on anything?

So my dude he laughing he think it’s funny when I’m mad an when he make me mad like it’s a joke what can I do

I usually throw his stuff outside but I think I need a new change like I usually just throw somthing of his out but that doesn’t seem to work like he call me toxic an I’m tryna not be toxic an it irritate me when he laughing thinking it’s funny when I’m mad bc he made me mad at him

Feeding time

My 6 week old is gaining weight well. He feeds every 2-3 hours but only 10min at a time. Anyone else’s baby do this too? I’ve never had 30min feed ever
