I think I’m ruining my relationship but can’t change my behaviour

I’m 3m pp, breastfeeding, c section for context. I have no interest in being touched, to the point it feels like an aversion, like I’m suddenly asexual. My partner and I didn’t have a great start for the first 2 months pp. He was so unhelpful and rude and kept trying to start arguments over anything seemingly just for attention. The last month has been entirely different, he’s so helpful around the house and makes an effort with us and has such a lovely relationship with the baby.
We’ve always been best friends and it feels like the friendship part is back, but he goes to hug or kiss me or be flirty or sexual and nothing switches on for me. He’s not complaining, he can see I’m being a mum 24/7 busy breastfeeding or nappy changing or playing or being a bed for our baby, but I do feel bad that he can probably tell his feelings just aren’t reciprocated. It’s like I KNOW I love him but all feeling other than the love I have for our baby is numb. Does this go away? It’s like I only have space in my heart for one and it’s awful thinking that. Is there something wrong with me? Or is this just life postpartum? How long until it goes?

Nappies!

Just out of curiosity and no judgements!!!!! How often are we changing our little one nappies (if they don’t look full and there’s no poop)

Newborn trenches

I am looking for ways to cope as a first time mom during this season, and methods to soothe my newborn so he will sleep and it won’t feel like a trench I am in 😖 he eats every 2 hours, and even when he’s comfortable he’s not satisfied.

I don’t know what to do

I’m debating whether to message my health visitor as my baby has been inconsolable for well over an hour. Iv tried everything, he won’t feed great or bottle but is crying like he’s hungry. Iv tried different bottles at different temps with different teats. What do I do in this situation? 😣

Bedtime routine

Does anyone have a bedtime routine for their little ones?
If so what time and what do you do with them? What time do you get up with them in the mornings to start the day? 🤔

Too much napping?

Im a ftm My son is two months and I feel like he may be napping way too much? I have no idea if I should be trying to keep him awake more often . Usually during the day he eats, stays awake for a little bit, he talk and babble at me but then is ready to nap again, it hasn’t effected his night time sleeping (yet) . Usually around 6pm-7pm is when he has the longest wake window , that’s when I try to do some tummy time and other activities but he’s still sleepy. I don’t know if This something I should be worried about like should I be doing more mentally for him is this bad for his growth?
