crashout over loosing my fake tan

hey guys i just wanna know if this is stupid, i cant find my fake tan bottle and im trying to make an effort to look after myself more i shaved exfoliated and showered ready to tan and i cannot find it which has set me off in a sad spiral cos it feels like everytime i try and pick myself up from postpartum depression the little things get in the way. i know its just tan and doesnt really matter but i feel so unlike myself cos i havmt been taking care of myself so i really wanted to try again, new bottle and i put it by the window sill so idk how i lost it, i got upset and my partner comforted me then said idk how to help you right now so i suggested we go get a new one real quick its a 4 min drive and i just needed a pamper night and he says we can grab some tomorrow on the way home from our day out. but i wanted to feel nore like me on our day out😭 its so dumb i know but i just havnt got a life apart from being a mother atm and i just crave my style back i was so fashionable 😭😭

That doesn’t sound dumb at all, makes total sense to me.

I acted like this pre pregnancy 😂 losing shit is annoying af especially when you’re feeling down and just wanted a little pick me up!

As a fake tan girlie I feel this. Nothing beats a fresh tan. I hope you feel good as new tomorrow when you get your new bottle!

It absolutely makes sense, we get so lost being moms that we don't do what we used to for ourselves. He probably just doesn't realize what it means to you to have part of your pre baby life back because his likely didnt change in the same way as yours did

You can have mine.. It's been sitting next to my skin for months I've yet to go to the shaving and exfoliating part yet no idea how many days my hair has been in a bun 🤪

Breastfeeding difficulties

I wanted to exclusively breastfeed my baby but i am struggling. Went to lactation consultant multiple times. I am not producing enough milk and because of that my baby is losing weight. Can someone please give me tips to increase milk supply. I am BF the baby 8 times a day and then pumping and giving top-ups and now also top-ups of formula because of his weight issues.

Breast feeding after c section

Hi all, I had a c section a week ago and struggling to get my milk to come in, I was hoping to breast feed but I’m wondering whether my body isn’t going to be able due to having a c section, is that a thing?

Toddlers in the same room

Do you think it’s a good idea to try putting my 17 mo daughter in the same room as my 3 yo son? We have a small house and I’m struggling to sleep with her in our room! It’ll be so great if the siblings could sleep together! However, I’m a bit nervous! My daughter is a bad sleeper but my son is okay and sleeps most nights!! How have people tackled a situation like this?
