Literally just got my son down maybe 30 minutes ago. He's been putting up the best fight at bedtime for at least a week now His dad has been asleep for almost 2 hours now. Same shit different day. Lol.

10 week old is down for the count but I’m up watching lincoln lawyer lol

i’m up trying to get mine to sleep too

I’m up feeding my baby who slept a little extra but I’m so engorged🫠

it’s currently 1 am and im trying to get mine down,he also has reflux and has been cluster feeding so i don’t fall asleep until 4 am then get up with my 2 older ones in the morning.I can’t relate to the partner part because im a single mom of 3 but when we were together even when he was there he didn’t help with anything and slept like an adult that isn’t a parent

Mine went down at 9 but I'm still up

It’s midnight and my son just woke up haha! Was just planning to go to bed when he decided to wake up

My 7.5 month son fell asleep about 20 mins ago, I wish I could sleep but I just keep watching him breathe.... as my bf sleeps

I feel that, my husband is asleep now too, we try to do a couple hours of uninterrupted sleep one at a time to kinda recharge. But I feel lonely a little bit! Just put kiddo down but he’s been fussy. He’s almost 3 weeks old

Holiday disappointment

Just a vent ! Looking to see if anyone can relate or make me feel better as feeling alone with it .. currently last day being abroad on holiday with the family (7 of us) and my 1 year old daughter! Feeling so overwhelmed and disheartened.. she did so well with the travelling and the first day then it just went down hill.. she has been grizzly from the time she wakes up every day till bed time, with constant entertainment she can be ok but not for very long, I’ve taken her to the room, changed things up, done naps different each time and she’s just not happy. I think she picked up something as she’s losing her voice, had a slight temperature at one point but went down, her fingers have been in her mouth constantly so also may be teething, but no medication has worked. It’s been so hard to watch her miserable, not eating much, not wanting to be in the high chair so we had to split dinners with some people going to dinner and others watching her as it’s been too much for her. My family have been great, helped out and been supportive. As I’ve looked around the resort, yes babies were crying but parents just seemed like they could soothe their babies, some families looked like they were having the best time, I just felt like we were the only couple really struggling. My family said she hasn’t been too bad and are considering a holiday next year.. I just don’t feel validated at all.

Lip tie

Is this a lip tie?

Cleaning after meal

I know a lot of you probably already do this, but if not, here’s my mom hack I discovered today 😂
My baby is a messy eater, so I always bathe him after meals but today instead I put his Bumbo seat in the sink. While he splashes, I rinse him off, wash the dishes, and load the dishwasher at the same time.
In 10 minutes, the baby was clean, the dishes were done, and all I had left was to wipe the floor. He had a blast, and of course I made sure there was nothing sharp in the sink and stayed with him the whole time.

Best mom hack I’ve discovered so far lmao

Is this what it’s supposed to be like?

I don’t like motherhood. I don’t like how it feels. My birth was traumatic and I get flashbacks of it everyday. Every single day. I felt like I was punished for wanting a baby. I feel so much shame I will never have one again. I also have a lot of anxiety. If I stay in anxious. Get outside anxious. Child friendly activity anxious. Grocery store anxious. I feel like I can’t escape except when I smoke. My question is, is this what it’s supposed to feel like and moms pretend they’re happy or did I unfortunate get the short end of the stick? Pls respond I’ve been suffering like this for over a year.

Baths

How often should my newborn get a sponge bath (still has her umbilical cord)? I’m a first time mom. I’ve heard people say everyday and other people say once a week. How often does she need a bath? She’s a week and two days old

Sex after episiotomy

I had to have an episiotomy done when giving birth. I'm currently 12 weeks pp and tried to be intimate with my husband and it hurt so much. Are there any other women that have had similar experiences with their episiotomy scar? What can I do to make it better and less painful?
