Sleeping through crying newborn

I spent a lot of time on the post natal ward which turned me into a really heavy sleeper (was a really light sleeper before). And now I sleep through my baby crying - anyone else just completely does not hear their child cry or am I a bad mum?! Luckily I always wake up to my husband feeding her 🙃…

Episiotomy healing

I gave birth a week and 2 days ago and out of no where my episiotomy has got infected and I have a gaping hole where the stitches have failed and it’s oozing pus. Maternity triage said no fever so just take some antibiotics and pain killers which feels wild to just leave an open wound?!

Does anyone else have any at home healing tips?

I’m so upset as I feel so limited by my body to care for my newborn 😢

4 month sleep regression

Anyone else already sick of their day revolving around naps and wake windows just for their little one not to sleep at night anyway 😂😂 praying this regression ends soon!!! Anyone else going through it?

Finding my 3.5 year old daughter really hard

I’m really just after reassurance as I’m getting depressed over this. Me and my daughter used to be super close. She wasn’t an only child for long as I had my son when she was only 18 months old and she adapted absolutely fine. We had a great family dynamic it was still hard of course but happy. I’ve now just had my 3rd baby who is now 6 months old. At first my 3.5 year old daughter was completely fine and she still is and adores her new baby sister (I think) but she seems to hate everything I do. If I tell her off she hates me and screams and if I’m lovely to her she also turns on me. For example today I bought her a present to show her how much I love her and a chocolate treat to go with it. Initially she was happy and after a while after playing with the new toy she started getting grumpy and upset with me. Nothing I ever do is right. I just feel like we’ve lost our bond I can’t quite describe it but she’s just becoming extremely mean. I was holding one of her toys and she just snatched it off me and said no that’s mine! I know it all sounds petty but she wasn’t like this before. She did have her tantrums but it feels like she just doesn’t like me. I feel so sad as her mummy and feel awful for admitting that I now dread seeing her because she’s actually making me feel down. How pathetic do I sound? It’s like she’s just never happy with me anymore and only wants her daddy. And she’s constantly trying to make my life difficult whereas before she used to be kinder. Is it meant to be this hard at this age? I didn’t think it was all meant to get worse. Does it get easier? I’m really down so hoping people will be sensitive to how I feel. She’s at nursery everyday but I do spend time with her at the weekend.

Sleeping through the night?

Is anyones baby sleeping through the night? I went to a class today and everyone was saying there baby sleeping through the night or doing 7/8 hour stretches no feeds. But my baby is still walking twice in night?
