Night time nappy changes

Any tips for this? My baby wakes a couple of times in the night for feeds and a lot of the time has a poo in her nappy either before or after the feed. When I change her before she ends up screaming because she’s hungry and if I change her after she struggles to get back to sleep. 12 week old and breast feeding and sleeps in a sleep sack

I always change before the feeding. I'd rather sooth her after she cries and then feed her so she falls asleep. Its better for both of us so we can get some sleep.

I used to feed on one side (he’d usually get a bit sleepy), change him and then feed off the other side after and he’d be soundo again. A lot of the time he wouldn’t feed for long on that second side before he was back to sleep.

Small glass of wine judged by the MIL

Went out for a meal last night with my in laws. She didn’t hear me order my drink but I ordered a small glass of white wine with lemonade spritz. When it arrived at the table she asked whose it was to which I said it’s mine, she said “well you can’t have that” (I’m exclusively breastfeeding). I corrected her and said I could, I had bought a bottle of my expressed milk with us for my daughter to have over dinner and by the time we would get home I would be more than ok. She repeated her same statement to which I said I could again and does she really think I would put my daughter in any danger to which she backed down!
For context I can count how many alcoholic drinks I have had since having our 6 month old daughter on one hand although granted this is the first glass of wine I have had in my MIL company. My MIL didn’t breastfeed, I just didn’t appreciate her comments. Did I over react?

Baby fell off the sofa

Please don’t judge!!

Hey my 6 month old rolled off the sofa today. I was not home and my partner was with him.
He seems fine. Eating and drinking as normal and has been smiling and even laughing.

My partner called 111 and they said to just monitor him.

He does seem a tint bit more grizzly this evening but he has missed a nap today as we wanted to keep him up to make sure he was ok.

Any advice, should i of taken him to hospital?

My partner is in absolute bits over it and burst into tears on the phone when he told me. He feels really guilty and I feel so sorry for him as its only the second time he has been left alone with him.

Advise please mamas Im so stressed about him sleeping tonight incase there is something wrong.

Body image

I’m 10 weeks PP and I’m having the worst time with my body. I used to be pretty small, and I’m 10 pounds away from my pre-baby weight. Everyone keeps telling me i just had a baby and to give myself some grace. But i can’t help but feeling like a slob when i look at myself in the mirror. I want to cry. I don’t feel like myself, i don’t feel pretty anymore. I hate talking about this too because i sound so superficial. I know recovery is harder with a c-section. I’m just ready to bounce back. I want to feel like me again.

1 week old starting to stay awake for 2 hours

My 1 week old has started to stay awake for 2 hours sometimes and I really struggling to put her to sleep. She used to feed to sleep but now sometimes wakes up before i can get her down in her cot. Is anyone else having the same issue? Should I just let her stay awake that long? I just thought that was a way too big awake window for a newborn?
