World Cup and no help

Hi guys. Unsure if I’m over reacting with this. As my partner works, I have been doing every night feed since little man was born. I have no issue with this being that I’m on mat leave and I feel it’s my job. However on weekends when he is off work he doesn’t rush to get up with the baby. It’s still me doing the feeding which can be 3 times a night and up 2x for settling.

Now I just want to stay in bed for a change and he gets up with the baby but he decided to stay up and watch the football last night meaning he’s running on 4-5 hours sleep. Can I be annoyed that he’s not willing to get up with the baby when it was a personal choice to stay up and not due to being at work?

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?

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.

My cat fell off the balcony 3 years ago form the 18th floor…. He survived with zero injuries how is this even possible ?

I think about it everyday YES the 18th floor I thought I’d find him dead but he was there with his tail up happy waiting for me… apparently the way they are built it’s normal for them to not break bones something due to terminal velocity … it’s just soo funny because he’s okay and fully healthy 3 years later

Holidays with toddler

Do you let your toddler stay awake past bedtime and forget their routine to enjoy your holiday or do you stick to usual routine and put them to bed earlier and suck it up? (Preferable for mums of toddlers before 2)

Just found out I’m pregnant with baby #2!

Hi, I’m new here. I have a 9mo old baby girl and just found out I’m pregnant with my second! 🤭 Looks like I’m joining the 2 under 2 club! Would love any advice for breastfeeding while pregnant, being pregnant with a toddler, or what gear I should plan on buying once baby arrives. (Do I need a second crib? Will we need another bedroom? Should I get a tandem stroller? etc.)

Breastfeeding trouble- help!

So baby has some difficulties feeding and reaching her birth weight for a while. Now she finally has (she's 3 weeks old) she has been on a strict "triple feeding" plan (boob, bottle, pump) to get her weight up, but now we are being a bit more relaxed and responsive with feeding and she will now latch (takes a while and with difficulty, she gets distressed and frustrated, but she will go on eventually) but only with nipple shields which I'm finding it hard to wean her off. Anyway, she will feed for a while but then often fall asleep, despite me doing breast compressions etc. then transferring her to anywhere else aside from the breast is a non starter as she will just kick off, but once she's asleep at the breast she won't latch again.

The other issue is the milk supply. I am not sure if I'm overproducing or what, but I have decreased the frequency of pumping, not doing it every 3 hours anymore, since we were told we didn't have to be so strict with her feeds, so now I'm doing it every 4 or 5 hours. But by that point I'm insanely engorged and in a lot of pain.
How can I lessen the frequency of the pumping without being in pain? I don't know if she's just not feeding efficiently or what.
If we give her a bottle, it seems to settle her way easier than the boob and we need to change this but don't know how. Help?!
I just want to not be in pain anymore, and to be able to breastfeed on demand. The occasional bottle is fine but currently we have to have one in hand at all times in case she doesn't want the boob. Meanwhile I'm producing so much milk and am in a catch 22, have to keep pumping for the health of my breasts but don't really need or want more milk.
