Dissociated

I am not sure if it's the meds or if I am having some kind of dissociation feeling.
I am 5 days into having my baby. I just keep feeling very far away and disconnected.
I had to sit for a few hours holding my baby's hand just to make sure that I am here and they are here and everything is ok.
Is this normal ?

Taking one for the team

Our little is sick, it’s been a rough evening. My husband told me to go ahead and sleep in our bed, he’d stay with our kiddo to help him feel more at ease. (Yes, we have a reclining nursery chair, he prefers our floor cushion) Our son being sick is unusual but, my husband taking one for the team is not.

Milk expectations

Calling all mamas with 10+ mo's,

I know milk is the prime source of nutrition in the first year but what does that l look like by 9/10 months? Mine is 7months and on 3 meals a day and my milk supply/his feeding has already dropped. Im following his lead but Im curious as to what it looks like only because he will start nursery in September... do I need to pump for nursery (10mo)?? The teachers seemed to think it was a non issue when I went to the open days suggesting he'd need barly anything by that age
Im EBF
What were yours having at that age?

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

Best Cup for 1 year old transition to Milk

My LO is now 1 years old and she's still drinking her formula from X teat MAM bottle.

I've read that we now need to start putting her formula into an open free flow cup but I'm struggling to find one that is big enough for her feed (240ml) and that isn't too big for her to hold (she has little hands)

Can you recommend the best cup for this process please? - I've seen a munchkin 360 one and a B.Box training cup free flow.

Also any tips on transitioning from formula to milk. She's dairy intolerant so I have Alpro Soy Growing Up milk which is fortified with all the nutrition of milk.

Sleeping difficulties

I have a one year old boy. Breastfed since birth, loves solids. He has had the habit of sleeping while breastfeeding.

Lately, I have difficulty helping him fall ssleep.

His first nap is fine.
The second one is always so hard and the one for bedtime sometimes. His awake windows were 3/4/4. But sometimes the last 2 can go up to 5 or 6. However, my husband usually is successful on putting him to bed. But me? Unless he's extremely tired he fights so much - like I'm the fun parent.

He does sleep through the night now. Tonight he did fall asleep in the breast, but is sound asleep.

Anyone going through the same or have gone through this?

Diaper fibers & Boys

Hello. I didn’t grow up with brothers or boy parts. So i have a question. Does it hurt for me to pull the diaper fibers off from around the tip? I have been needing to do it more frequently with these diapers.
