Overthinking

I’m 1 month postpartum and I can’t stop overthinking everything I do for my self, like I wanna wear jeans but when I put them on I take them right off because I start overthinking on if I’m gonna irritate something and bleed again and its mentally exhausting.. any other moms do this?

I’m 14 mo pp but I did the same exact thing after an unplanned c section, I ended up with terrible PPA/PPD, if it’s affecting your daily life, please reach out to your obgyn/therapisr/psychiatrist. You don’t have to go through it alone, there is help!🩷

Rolling…

14 week baby started rolling 2 weeks ago, this morning I have found him face down (I panicked straight away and turned him on his back) - he was fine. 5 mins later he is sound asleep on his side!

He can’t roll front to back yet. Neck control is improving daily but I’m terrified to sleep now.

Any advice welcome🥲

Parenting styles

Am i in the wrong? So for context, me and my boyfriend have different parenting styles. I prefer to discipline our daughter by calmly explaing what she did wrong, asking her to apologise and make sure the persons okay whereas my boyfriend prefers to raise his voice so she starts crying and pyt her in time out and tell me im not allowed to go "save" her. I don't feel there's a need to put her in timeout and make her cry, i feel like it's just creating unnessecary trauma. He keeps complaing that i'm disipline her properly and that i'll soon learn why we don't take her out of timeout and why we shout and apparently i'm making her hate him by being the gentler parent but i know she loves her dad so much. What do you guys think?

Head Bumps

So… how many times has your baby bumped their head on something in the first 6 months and how often did you panic? for me, she’s on head thump number 7: a door, my shoulder, she fell over while sittin on the floor, my elbow bumped her forehead, the lampshade, she fell back and hit the wall, and she tipped over on the floor and hit her face on my aunts foot. she’s had at least 1 every month since she was born lmao

Future kid on the news?

Ok y’all I hope my emotional brain is telling me some bad information!
My logic brain is quietly saying “nooooooo???”

My anxiety brain is telling me that my 14 month old
* Biting me until I bruise
* RUNNNING to bite EVERYONES toes
* pulling my hair and my husbands hair like he has a CLUMP of hair in his hand
* ripping off my glasses and immediately putting them in his mouth to lick them

I’m saying no firmly no smiles or anything.

He is DYING LAUGHING.

Is he going to grow up and hurt others?

How do I put my baby down?!

We are 6wks and he still refuses to be put down. I’ve given up on the Moses basket and am trying to co- sleep but every time I put him down he wakes instantly. I’m exhausted and I know it’s not safe him constantly sleeping on me…
