Question

My baby is 8 days old and today I have felt low all day. I don’t know why but I’m feeling really sad and cannot label why. Please tell me does this feeling go away?!

Your hormones are going crazy right now and it can be overwhelming. Some people call it post natal blues.
Get some rest, focus on the positives. Watch a show or do something you love. I'm a Christian so I'll always suggest praying.

Let down

Is it just me or I stopped feeling the let down sensation when my baby is breastfeeding or when I pump? Is it normal or is it a sign of under supply?

I haven’t felt it in around 1-2 weeks

Next to me recommendations

I'm about to have my third, and I've never got on with our next to me crib. I'm looking for one where you can take the side completely down (not just halfway) so it's almost like an extension of our bed. Does that exist?!

Breastfeeding

Hi guys, It’s day 5 for us and I’m really struggling with this whole breastfeeding situation.

The latching, the constant having to get your breast out to feed, and feeling like my body is no longer really mine… I feel awful saying it, but right now I honestly just feel like a cow!

Then there’s the constant “be careful what you eat because you’re breastfeeding” comments from people, which are stressing me out even more. I’m already overthinking whether everything I eat is going to make baby gassy or uncomfortable.

I know we’re only 5 days in and everything is still so new, but does it get easier? Did anyone else feel like this at the beginning? And how much attention do you actually pay to what you eat while breastfeeding?

Bath time!

How often do I bath my 6 nearly 7 week old?
I’ve been bathing her everyday for the past couple of days as she’s been really fussy and it relaxes her, but I’m not sure I’m bathing her too often.

Phantom cries

When do you stop hearing phantom cries ? I know they are normal just curious when they might fade a bit or go away all together
