Bottle or Breast?

Hiya, I’m a first time mum due in October and I can’t decide if I’m going to bottle or breast feed bubba once she’s here I feel like breast may be easier as baby has been clubfoot this means we will have to attend weekly hospital appointments and have to travel about a hour both ways not including appointment time which will be long as baby will bathed and weighed etc in between cast change so I don’t want to be worried about having enough formula on top of this, any advice greatly appreciated please.

Bath seat?

When did you guys stop using a bath seat for your little ones? We’ve kept using a bath seat for our 17 month old as he didn’t have any issues with it etc but now all he wants to do is climb out of it? How is your safely transition them out of using one? Any suggestions?

How do you all do it?

How do you let your baby’s daddy make mistakes? Things that you know don’t work or things that you know LO likes, I try to share these with my partner and he just gets angry at me and he thinks I’m being negative towards him, saying that he is doing it wrong.

I EBF and do all the night times and 98% of the daytime naps. My LO also contact naps during the day only (ever since being a baby and having a tongue tie, LO has always fallen asleep during a feed), which hasn’t been a choice, as LO will wake immediately when put down.

Just now my partner offered to take LO for a nap, after we had argued, as I needed a shower and he was talking loudly towards me while holding the baby, as he was walking upstairs. He put LO in the cot and then slammed the bathroom door to go for a wee before being nap trapped.
I tried to say that being loud and noisy isn’t helpful before putting LO down for a sleep and he got angry at me for it (while holding LO).
So how do you all just let things slide, when you know that you will have to deal with the aftermath of LO being an overtired/frustrated baby later on.
How do you do it?

Feeling like a failure

My little one is 18 months in a couple of days and I think I can count on one hand when he’s had a couple nights decent sleep. He’s never really slept through the night and is doing it more where he’s waking up and no matter what I do to settle him, he’s then awake for a couple of hours then back to sleep. No matter if he has a bad nap or a decent nap throughout the day. I feel like I’m failing and wondering if anyone else has had this?

To circumcise or to NOT circumcise, that is the question.

Hey ladies, so I'm about to give birth, like... he should be here tomorrow. and I'm torn between the two. His dad isn't and he's not really helping me with this decision and now its crunch time. I feel like dad hasn't had any issues and (tmi) but I personally think its pretty cool, and can see certain benefits of have a "pull back" but I've only had a daughter and this is my first (and last) boy. I asked one of my friends who didn't choose to circumcise her son and she said she wish she had did it. He's about five now and she says that it irritates him.
So now I'm like... what to do?!

Any mommas up this evening trying to get there little one down?

Lonely while my husband sleeps and I try to get our 7 week old down to sleep for the night.
