Spit ups

At this point I am convinced that when they made the word happy spitter they made it for my son…when I say he spits a lot I literally mean his clothes and mine getting socked up…he doesn’t seem bothered by it but I am because I think it’s too much during feed or after even after being burped…he is 9 weeks now and I told my ped about it and she said it’s normal nothing to worry about as long as he is gaining well which he is…she claims he eats too quick and he is greedy with food and maybe over feeding which I thought wasn’t possible on exclusively breastfed babies…

I really need some help I feel like I am losing it because it’s just too much at this point

My boy is the same and I was also told it’s normal as long as he’s gaining weight we are not to worry. At times it makes him extra hungry. However he does suffer from reflux so could be related to that. My understanding it is unusual for breast fed babies to over feed

8 Week Old Fussiness

I understand she’s at the peak of crying phase but I’m at the end of my checklist of things to do to calm her down.
Plus in the heat she’s working herself up and making herself even warmer.
I’ve tried baths, bottles, dummies, skin-to-skin, the works and nothing helps.
Any advice would be amazing!

Mothers of older kids (4/5++?)

Does it get easier? Like be fr 😭

NO ONE told me it was going to be hard having 1 kid…literally no one. My mum had 5, both my parents never and still don’t work so they never stressed about juggling work & childcare. In fact no one around me worked/works other than my partner & his family. So literally I heard nothing about “oh you’re going to struggle, oh it’s going to be hard, what are you going to do about nursery etc etc” 😭🤣 they fed me a DREAM! Don’t get me wrong I love love love my son, love being a mum…but the tantrums, the phases, the mood swings, alllllll the emotions plus housework….pleaseeee send help haha.

Is this normal

Is this normal for 4 month olds to make these sounds and movements? Sorry if this is a stupid question I’m a FTM and paranoid over everything.

Is anyone else going through this?

My MIL and her whole family are in a gc and I’m in it and everyday she talks about how much my baby looks like her son, everyday. She either sends pics of him as a baby along with pics of my baby or she’ll just text it, nobody on my side of the family says she looks like me either, I’ve tried explaining to her dad how much it gets underneath my skin that I get 0 credit for literally anything, he gets the “oh you’re doing so great you’re such a great dad” and I get nothing even though I’m the one who takes care of her full time 7 days a week, I know I shouldn’t let it bother me but It’s hard because I do so much and I don’t get seen at all
