Formula

Has anyone used the Aptamil Ready Made Milk to take on days out when using Aldi’s Mamia milk as their primary milk? I’ve read that it’s a similar formula - just want to avoid tummy upset but it would be so much easier to take ready made milk when going out for day trips ☺️

Phone passcode?

Why would someone change their phone passcode?

My phone was dying and I need to take photos of my ear as I was in a lot of pain and when I took my earring out I started bleeding. I wanted to see what happened.

Anyway. Tried my phone first but the screen went dark as it was dying so I borrowed my partners and figured I'd send myself the pictures.

Except after I took the photos, I couldn't log in. Tried many times, went slow, then slower. Mixed up the numbers in case I had it wrong and then logged into my phone (on charg at this point) to search our texts as he had sent me the code nearly a month ago to access his tablet. Same code.

It was the code I thought and had tried many times. I tried it again 2 or 3 times and when it still didn't work I got this feeling in the pit of mg stomach and put the phone back and typing this.

He is asleep so can't ask him until tomorrow.

PPA and struggling badly

I've had to write this and rewrite it a few times as I'm so uncomfortable asking here.

I'm really struggling mentally and physically, for the past few days I've been struggling badly, I've asked friends and family and everyone seems to be in the same boat. I'm really in need of nappies, wipes and food for myself (I'm breastfeeding so I really only need oat based things to keep my supply up). Please please please if anyone has the ability to help, I don't mind if it's a few people who give a small amount so it's less pressure on 1 person. I feel cheeky and genuinely quite scared at the replies I'll receive here, that's why I'm anon. My daughter's 8 weeks old and I'm struggling with post partum anxiety really badly. I haven't slept for days just watching her over her cot. Everything's just really intense.

I'm more than happy to pick things up from stores if it's nearby, I just really want some peace of mind, I feel like an absolutely horrible parent.

Sorry about this post but thanks for reading even if you csnt help ♥️

Not meant to be a mother or wife

Ever since I became a mother Nov 2024, I’ve been having this feeling that I wasn’t meant to be a mother and my mother and grandmother second guessing all my decisions when it comes to my daughter doesn’t help ofc. I do what my daughter’s doctor recommends for her and they want to do everything how they did when I was a baby. I try to get them to see that the recommendations changed from when I was a baby and it seems like they think they know what’s best for my baby, more than I do and I’m so over it. I’ve resorted to just letting them raise her and take care of her. I don’t have the energy to care anymore and I’ve been going through depression and it seems like no one cares until I attempt to take my life. My husband is no help either, he doesn’t even seem to care when I cry myself to sleep when he’s right there. I feel like we’re headed right to divorce, which will make my depression even worse. Am I the problem? I don’t even know but I need help!😔 my therapy sessions once a week aren’t doing enough.

Please tell me I’m not the only one 😩

Today has completely thrown us. My 11-week-old was awake for around 6 hours with hardly any proper nap, despite us trying everything to get her to sleep. She’d yawn, we’d try to settle her, but she just wouldn’t go off. To make it even harder, I think she needed a poo and was bunged up, so her sleep and hunger cues became really confusing.

Our health visitor wasn’t concerned, but I’m finding it so hard to know what to do when she seems exhausted but just won’t sleep.

Has anyone else’s baby had days like this? What worked for you? Did they eventually grow out of it?

I feel like we’ve got it all wrong today. It’s not the first time it’s happened either, so I’d really love to know we’re not alone ❤️

Struggling…

I’m really struggling at the moment. The cluster feeding is exhausting. The loud crying is heartbreaking and frustrating in equal measure. I lose my patience so quickly, especially doing the night feeds. My back is killing me. I feel so isolated and lonely even though I have a partner and family surrounding me. I could just cry constantly. We’re 5 weeks in and it just feels like it’s never going to get better. I love her so much I just wish it would be a little bit easier some days..

Big penis

Women who have had sex with a man with a big penis(like 8+ inches) what was your experience? Ive only been with my husband and hes pretty average (6.5). Is bigger really better?
