My baby is 14 months plus, breastfeeding. I had emergency C-section after 2 days tried naturally.
Still period is not back yet. Is it normal?

Coping as a FTM

Hey ladies... I guess my question is how do you cope? I'm a first time mom to an almost 6 month old baby girl, and I feel like more often than not, I lose my marbles. I had one instance where I just screamed because she wouldn't settle and I was sleep deprived and everything was too much, I was home alone and she was next to me and my husband had just arrived home and he took her and I broke down. I couldn't believe what I had done.

Today was another hard day and I started crying while he settled her for sleeping and she looked at me and I swear there was worry in her eyes. She was sad cause I wasn't holding her anymore and that just made me cry more.

I'm bad with loud noises and I tend to get overstimulated easily and I don't want that to affect her, but I don't know what to do. Can anyone else relate? I don't have any mom friends and I feel like my mom and sister think I can't do this whole mom thing and I just want to feel like there's light on the other side.

Baby wide awake

Baby has woken up at 3:30am & is wide awake smiling & giggling like it’s 7am 🤦‍♀️ not sure what to do, do I just let him be awake for a bit in the low light? He has a 2 hour wake window so really hope it’s not a full wake 😭

Diapers in diaper bag!

Hey guys! Does anyone have any advice/ tips on how to keep the diapers in the diaper bag from getting all folded?? I’ve got a container with no lid and I just slid them in there and it’s working but I was wondering if anyone had any other ideas?! When I just put them in there they get folded🤦‍♀️ thanks in advance

1st period after birth.

I had my baby 8 weeks ago and I’m exclusively pumping as my little girl is only on breast milk.
I got my period, did anyone else’s period start up again quickly while exclusively breastfeeding or expressing?

Breastfeeding guilt :(

Hi ladies. Lately I’ve been in my head and feeling extremely down about my breastfeeding journey and how it ended at 5.5 m PP with my daughter. I’m 9 months PP now. I stopped due to mental health reasons but can’t help be feel as though I failed her tremendously. Even though she is thriving, happy and so healthy the guilt eats away at me. Does anyone have any tips on how I could overcome this? I cry a lot about it now😭
