Intimacy after becoming first time parents

Our daughter is 2 months old and being intimate has been hard. We are only able to have sex like twice a week cause we're always so busy with the baby. When we finally have time I'm paranoid about the baby being in the other room. We try to make it quick because we're worried she'll wake up. I can't have her in the room with us because I just can't get into it if she's there in her crib or awake. How do you moms deal with this ?

Me and my husband haven’t had sex since my baby was born which was 2 months ago. We are Catholic so we can’t use protection and I’m scared that I might get pregnant again and I’m already a mom of 2 under 2 😵‍💫 twice a week sounds great in my situation but if your baby is safe and maybe taking a nap in a safe place you should be ok because you know she will be ok. Babies are very smart, They’ll cry if they need you.

Has a anyone actually been able to get hold of infacol? Online or in store (close to Warrington) I have dentinox but seems to make my baby more sicky

Do you think there’s a difference in giving store puree & making your own?

I use shop bought, the ingredients are organic and 100% the fruit/veg. It’s so cheap & convenient

Overnight diaper suggestions?

We are a Huggies family but I recently tried the overnights and my 8 month old has leaked through nearly every night! I don’t know why!
What overnight diapers do you suggest?!

1 year check

Hey ladies, in need of some experience / advice:
My little girl, nearly 11 months doesn’t crawl, cannot pull self to standing, cruise or walk unaided and on her 1 year check is in the concern section for this.
Upon measurements they also questioned why my little girl sits slouched? Or the only way I could describe it was like a monkey ha?
They’re referring my little lady to a community children’s paediatrics team and given me a physio number … question is: has anyone else been in the same position? What happened? What support was given? Did your child meet these milestones?

My little girls legs are fine, she’s a late roller but has exceeded other areas on the 1 year check.

And please, before anyone comments ‘babies develop at different rates’ yes I do understand this as an early years worker myself, but being my first and only baby… I still worry and would like support if any ❤️🥹
