Mine! HV said to wake every 4 hours to feed so that's what I do. Even then it's a dream feed and she doesn't wake haha x

Mine does, but not every night. Since she reached her birth weight we were told my our midwife and HV to just let her sleep however much she wants at night. Some nights she’ll be up every hour for a feed, some nights she’ll sleep 5+ hours

Partners …

Hey! Whose partner gets up with the kids in the morning? I can’t remember the last time mine did. It’s just become the norm that I get up everyday at 6:30am with both children & my partner swans down at about 8:30am (self employed)
Is this the reality for many others or am I being taken for a push over?
I also do bedtime every night & he barely makes it up the stairs to say goodnight. Is this normal?

General Anaesthetic in babies

My 10 month old had tongue tie surgery under general anaesthetic on Thursday. His sleep has been terrible since. He always sleeps throughout the night but for past 2 nights he has woken up and would not settle back to sleep for over 3 hours. Also every time he wakes up from sleep he screams hysterically. Anyone with similar experience? Heard that this can be normal but wonder how long it will last?

What would you do?

What would you do if you move to your couch to sleep and your partner comes down to you and slaps your arm to wake you up? Which before moving down there you were between two bodies in 70° house temps and you sleep hot. Which means you can’t sleep if you are hot.

How to get into the mindset of loving being a mum?

I have a 4 month old who I love to bits but I can’t help everyday miss my old life and wish I could get it back and then get angry at the fact that I’m a mum and hate it. I feel trapped and miss my freedom. I want to work on looking at things differently and love it but it’s hard. Any help? I have an amazing supportive partner and my boy is amazing but I can’t see it like that.

When you were a teenager, on the weekend you went to bed at midnight, what time did you wake up on Saturday?

My husband doesn’t believe me when I said that as a teenager on the weekend I slept in till noon and he said that’s not normal.

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 ?
