Is it ppd?

Im 10 weeks postpartum and I’ve never been so quick to anger before and get mad about the smallest things. I get upset/feel guilty after about getting mad or irritated at my husband or baby. I hate feeling this way😕

Postpartum rage is VERY real

Hormones and sleep deprivation too.

It could definitely just be your hormones! I wouldn’t jump to PPD yet. Right after having a baby your hormone levels drop so quickly so that could explain it. I know for me I was kind of the same and now it’s gotten a lot easier and calmer.

Not sure it’s PPD but it’s hormonal. It happens to the best of us! Mine started right before delivery.

Postpartum Rage is a very real thing, brought on by hormonal changes and sleep deprivation. If it helps, it's your body's natural response to the stress. It's even worse if you're breastfeeding, because your body doesn't realize the stress isn't a threat, it just knows something is triggering the fight or flight and goes into defense mode.

Definitely discuss with a doctor, but until then try to take deep calming breaths, and if you need to walk away, then walk away. Put little one down somewhere safe, make sure needs are met, and then give yourself the space to breathe. Just for a few minutes, not as in the cry it out method. You're just giving yourself space so you don't do anything accidentally.

Trust me, I'm on baby four and I've had to do this a few times now. I have to take a step back and force myself to calm down before trying again.

Would you be uncomfortable if you were breastfeeding and a random woman was staring at your breasts?

She’s literally staring and gazing into your breasts

Stopping formula

Hey, just wanted to get some advice on when / how to stop formula! Is it a straight swap to cows milk on their first birthday? Or swap one bottle a day or something and do it gradually? Also, what kind of bottles should we be using?

I breastfed for 10 months and still have some freezer stock aswell, should I still give him this after he turns one?

Thank you 😊

Breast feeding - should I give up

My little lady is 11 days old and I have been combi feeding her with breast and formula.
To keep my supply I have been pumping around 3 times a day as baby girl isn’t always keen on the boob. ( always offer boob before formula) I have also been giving her bottles of my breast milk.
My boobs have been tender since I started but today I have never felt pain like it. My right boob I can’t even touch. It’s so sore and I have a big bruise on the side. Feeling a bit deflated and feeling to just give up as it’s just far too painful!

Any tips?
