5:30am wake up!!

My little girl has just turned one and no matter how long she naps/what time she goes to bed she wakes up at any point between 4:30-5:30am wide awake and it takes a good hour to try and resettle her, or I give up and have to get up. Anyone else in the same boat or been through this?!

Has anyone experienced this? 😭

My baby is 2 months old and has been exclusively breastfed since birth. I went to Boots for emergency contraception, told the pharmacist I was breastfeeding, and was given ellaOne.
After taking it, I read the leaflet and saw the breastfeeding warning. I called 111 and a clinician advised me to stop breastfeeding and give formula for 8 days.
I’m honestly heartbroken 😭 I’m worried about introducing formula and whether I’ll be able to get my baby back to breastfeeding afterwards.
Has anyone had to do this before? Did you successfully return to breastfeeding? ❤️

Sleep Overs

I can’t be the only one who feels this way - I keep getting pressured by grandparents for my 6 1/2 month old to stay the night with them. She’s still an infant? Theres no reason she needs to stay the night away from us? But they keep making me feel so guilty we say no

Long night ahead 💤

Is anyone else strapping in for a long night of cluster feeding?

If I’m tired he will say to our daughter leave mummy she’s so tired working to hard today in a sarcastic way this is 10/20 comments a day or a look at me like rolling his eyes etc I’m sick of it, me and my daughter have been on 2 family holidays and I have just booked a third to Disney land before baby comes and as a Christmas present to her his eyes went black when I told him he straight away said your not going neither is our daughter because he’s jealous he Carnt come waiting on the visa to come back but how selfish?, I stay home he works he wouldn’t let me work than criticises me for it I have no choice now I stay home with our daughter, the other day got real bad the digs were to much I snapped at him he told me to get out pulled me by my hair pushed me and pushed my face into the sofa I went into the other room, this is my life day in day out with him what did I do to deserve this I will go to my mums house and he says their all dirty smoke drugs etc it’s my sisters bf that does their old enough and it’s not his business he’s always going in on my family I don’t know why my family have been nothing but nice to him it’s not dirty either 3 adults live their and 2 kids than when the rest of siblings turn up I can understand it gets messy, but it’s normal his culture is women cooking and cleaning I have lacked in this at the minute I’m exhausted from him the baby looking after our daughter I’m just done I Carnt stand the smell of cooking so I make sure daughter is fed and I’m done, I think I need this abortion I Can’t bring another child into this I don’t work I plan on leaving him when I can and I won’t be able to afford another baby not yet, please advice or anything on this situation I’m so lonely in all of this no one knows

I need advice please!!!

I’m a first time mom. My babygirl is two almost three weeks old. Since she’s been born she’s always had tummy aches after eating. She does breastfeeding and formula at night. The past three or four days she spends 80% of the day screaming when she’s awake. She will act like she’s hungry even after just finishing. But she also will spit up or throw up after every single feeding and struggles to burp. Today I have tried everything to calm her down and nothing has worked. I tried gas drops, diaper changes, tummy massage, working her legs, burping her, skin to skin, rocking, setting her in her swing, even taking her outside. Nothing helped. Right now she finally fell asleep in the car (with me in it and it on) just parked in front of our house. She screams like she’s in pain and I don’t know what to do anymore 😔

Travelling abroad with 4 month old…

I am a FTM thinking about booking a little holiday with my 3 month old (will be 4 months when travelling), by plane. I am trying to look for the best travel stroller that would suit him at that age and also be compact enough to be able to bring to the airport/plane. Any suggestions would be appreciated 🙏🏼
