What advice would you give yourself?

I’m a first time mum to a nearly 6.5 month old and I’ll admit I’ve struggled quite a bit with postpartum mental health issues I’ve been referred through mental health services and at one of my recent appointments we finished the session with her asking me to reflect on what I would tell myself freshly postpartum knowing what I know now and it got me thinking just how far we’ve actually come in this time.

So I thought I would share the question. If you could go back to your freshly postpartum self what advice would you give her? I think I’d say to slow down because it goes by so quickly and to just give myself grace because you’re actually doing an amazing job (even if it doesn’t always feel like it)

I feel like the world’s worst mum ever.

Yesterday my baby, nearly 1, fell from his high chair. I took him to a&e and they said he is fine but to just keep an eye on him. I honestly can’t shake this feeling away especially that I didn’t get to him quick enough. I feel like the worst mum in the world, I’m not eating, I’m not sleeping and constantly crying about the whole thing. My poor baby; he has a small bruise on his forehead and a bruise and a scratch on his knee. I’m absolutely devastated about the whole thing

Double push chair

Hi I'm going to get a double pushchair any advice on which style would be best , one were there sat side by side or one were one will be sat behind the other?

Newborn advice please?

My 2 week old is going through a shift. He isn’t eating as he did when we first brought him home, he hasn’t pooped in about a day or so and he’s crying so much more. I know I’m mostly worried over nothing, but is there anything I can do to help him or make him more comfortable? TIA

I’m curious

What made you decide to formula feed or breastfeed your baby?
No hate I’m just genuinely wondering what works best for you as a mom.

I breastfeed my little and lots of women in my family act angry about it as if it inconveniences them somehow.. anyone else have the same issue?

Baby not sleeping keeps waking up

2 week old keeps waking up with either wind or constantly feeding. I’m absolutely exhausted. Anyone else in the same situation? Please help me feel less alone

Going out as a breastfeeding mom

My 8 week old refuses to take bottle , have tried several different brands Philips, Dr.Brown. She is also a frequent eater so feeds every hour . Whenever I go out I need to breastfeed her . I feel a little uncomfortable , just wanted to share my feeling. I love going out having food and enjoying, but it seems to get a little uncomfortable specially in the public areas. Anyone else relating to it?
