Anyone else have zero libido?

I have no interest in sex whatsoever 8 months postpartum. I still think my partner is attractive and I notice attractive people around but that's as far as it goes. Zero interest not even for a kiss past a peck on the lips. I am thinking about kissing my partner full blown snog because it's been so long and I don't want to lose that feeling but I just don't feel bothered. Anyone else ever been through this?

Are you breastfeeding? I’m almost 4 months pp and feel a bit like this and am ebf. I’ve been told it’s normal and to do with the hormones and should hopefully change once I’ve stopped breastfeeding!

I don't have a partner, single mum completely. But this is exactly how i feel, since getting pregnant i have absolutely zero interest, the thought of it makes me cringe tbh. I can notice if someone's attractive but the thought of doing anything like that makes me so uncomfy now. I'm 3 months PP.

Breastfeeding

I’m 6 days postpartum when does breastfeeding get ‘easier’ not having to keep latching baby and baby can latch themselves and also when does cluster feeding come to an end and they have longer sleep windows? Especially at night!! Thank you 🙏 I need to see if there is a light at the end of this tunnel 😭

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 😭😭

Sleeping

My daughter cannot put herself to sleep, I am having to fully rock her to sleep every nap and night time. Have tried popping her in the cot when she’s tired just to see what happens but when I pop my head round the eyes are still wide open but she’s also a nightmare to transfer once sleeping too 😂
Anyone else in the same boat? Make me feel better pls!

Sex

I gave birth on the 23rd and had an episiotomy which hasn’t given me to much bother tbh. I feel mentally ready to have sex but wondered if anyone else had? It feels fine down there but I’m nervous!

Bedtime

What time are our babies going to bed? Mine will be 9 weeks old on Monday so curious as to what time people are putting theirs to bed and when they might wake in the night?
