Trapped wind

Any tips for helping bubs release trapped wind? Tried knees to tummy which does work, and bicycle legs, just wondering if there’s anything else? Thanks!

How do I (politely) tell my friend that she can come to my house if she wants to hang out so badly?

My best friend is a SAHM with two older children, and I’m a working mom with an older child and a newborn. I’m on maternity leave right now, and my friend keeps asking me to come hang out but I’m not really sure how to politely explain that I really don’t want to go hang out at her house. I’m trying to enjoy my time at home for as long as I have it, and it’s also just in general a really big hassle to have to pack up my newborn and go sit at someone else’s house for the day. I feel like it’s a little bit unfair that she hasn’t really come to our place at all, when she’s even got live-in child care if she needed it. I don’t want to come off rude or snippy, but doesn’t it make more sense that the person with the newborn shouldn’t have to do all the traveling? For the record, the last time we hung out I did go to her house.

Military spouses/military contractor spouses

My husband works for a military contractor and is not at liberty to discuss ANYTHING with me and cannot even state if he is stressed at work. I am reaching out to other women whose spouses work under extreme stress and cannot discuss anything to help me understand and vent….

Do you feel as though you should tell your partner…

Everything. Such as what you need, want or what bothers you?

Or is that something they should be astute to in some cases? Like should they care enough to notice certain things?

Feeling so low today

I feel like ive hit a really low emotional wall today. Maternity leave feels so lonely sometimes and I dont really have any other mum friends with babies of a similar age to talk to who or hang out with. My partner and all my friends are at work and im just at home with my baby while my oldest is at nursery. Ive been crying a little things and I just feel stupid 🤦‍♀️
