Easy newborn

Does anyone else feel like they just have a super easy newborn? People think im lying when I tell them🤣 my baby only wakes for 1 night feed now through the night, very rarely cries, is always smiling, loves going out and about, self soothes and will get himself to sleep in his cot. I am scared to have a second baby incase it’s not like this again lol

This is what my 3rd is like! I can safely say the second wont be the same, my second is a rocket 🤣

Yep! My 1st was horrendous ! This one is a dream so far 😂

I would say apart from the night wake ups my baby is pretty easy! He sleeps as soon as you put him in the car seat, sleeps during the day in his moses basket and at night in the next2me and even nighttimes aren't too bad - he wakes up twice in the night usually between around 8pm - 6am and even did an 8 hour stretch a couple of nights ago!

I have one of those ☺️ He has been super content and relaxed and no problem sleeping or eating. The only thing he doesn’t like is nappy changes. Now he is 6 weeks and smiling loads, just a happy go lucky little guy 🥰 He is still super easy to get to sleep, he also soothe himself and is super curious about the world when he is awake ❤️

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?

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?

Tonies

Has anybody purchased a Tonie box? I am in two minds about getting one for my little one 🙈

If your pram was this mouldy, wouldn't you replace it instead of paying $$ to get it "cleaned"?

I came across a post about a pram cleaning company and was kind of appalled. If my pram was this mouldy I would rather replace it, than pay $$ to get it cleaned. Most times mould can't be fully cleaned out and I would rather buy another even if it was 2nd hand. Just want to know what others think? Would you throw it out at that point and look for another whether that was new, off a free site or even used as I stated above?

Do I need to see a Pelvic floor physio?

My midwife told me I need to see a women’s health/pelvic floor physio at 6 weeks postpartum to clear me to exercise/ give me an exercise rehab plan.
I had a vaginal birth with an intact perineum.

I’m wondering how necessary it is since it’s really expensive and I haven’t heard of other people doing this. Has anyone else been told to see a physio before exercising?/ do you think it’s necessary?
