Somebody here mentioned something about a mom getting her nipple ripped off while breastfeeding and I can’t stop thinking about it

It’s giving me so much anxiety I just want someone to tell me that’s not possible

That’s very very rare. Maybe it did happen. And so unfortunate to her. I don’t want to dismiss her experience and say it’s not possible. But the chances? Again, very rare. Don’t let a rare circumstance give you anxiety mama. Just Bf and take breaks when needed, as in use hakaa to catch extra letdown, pump sometimes, have someone else give baby bottle of ebm (or ebm topups) when the nipple get too sore/when you need more sleep or a break, and just know that situation is very rare and unlikely of it happening to the average Bf mama.

That's not possible.

Worst case scenario could be a cut or a groove in your nipple. But if your latch is good, baby literally cannot bite you. Babies are (almost always) born without teeth, I promise you'll have the latch down until baby gets teeth

I had a baby bitter and didn't loose my nipple in 2.5 years of BF... Honestly I can't imagine how this could even happen.

11 year son saying is gay

My son has recently told me he’s gay and it’s knocked me for six has anyone ever been through this

Screaming baby🙃.

So how do I let my neighbours know that I’m not torturing my baby? He’s just hungry for actual food but doesn’t understand he can’t eat and have his hands in his mouth at the same time so is screaming blue murder🤦🏼‍♀️😂

Nappy bins

First time mum due in October, I am forever scrolling Amazon to figure out the stuff I still need from the baby checklist, and I’m currently on a tangent of nappy bins. I don’t want a nappy bin, but I am debating a food waste bin for the night changes, since they have an odour filter built in. I wondered if anyone has done this and if it works?

Runny poo what should I do ?

My LO is 4 weeks old and for the past 2 days he has had runny poos. He seems to be struggling with passing the poo and makes straining and painted noises.

He now has a little blood on the nappy when I change him and his bottom looks a bit raw. I have been putting nappy rush ointment but I am just worried it will get to worse.

Should I call someone? Should I be more concerned ? What could be causing it ?

Showering with 10 month old?

Home all day alone with my 10 month old until 10 and wondering is it just better to kill two birds with One stone and wash us both together . Instead of having to distract him while I shower and him destroying the bathroom and hitting his head and trying to get into the shower . I don’t like showering late or else I’d wait until 10/10:30 for my husband to get home . Baths don’t make me feel clean also .Does anyone do this ? Or do you just do bath for them

What would you do in this case?

My husband has mental health issues, so has left us and moved back with his mum and siblings. So the last two years I’ve been solely caring for our children who’s both under 5. He does chip in at times, but he’s always so depressed.

The mum made our life hell before. So my husband doesn’t speak to her. So she calls me now and then ( we still try to visit her and son stays over some weekends). But I think she is still under the impression that I need to visit her every week. ( my husband does not stay at home during the day, he prefers staying out) so I will just be with her and the kids and the siblings etc.

Would you voluntarily want to visit her?
I am worried if I don’t, then she will deny my husband staying there- which means more stress for us. But then that’s her son, and she should still try do something?
