I feel like a sex addict

I hear so many women saying they didnt feel ready even after 6 weeks and they feel touched out and I hear and understand how they can feel that way. I feel the complete opposite and I havent seen anyone else say they have like right after birth (obviously i just pushed her out so body wasnt ready) but mentally i was so ready. Is it normal to feel that way

It’s normal. Everyone is different! This is normal for women like me and you lol causeeeeee unfortunately for me- I have a man that is ok with not having sex as often as me-and so im like itching for it at any time. It happens I guess 🥲

So normal, I was dying waiting on the 6 weeks, and to be perfectly honest we didn’t quite make it to that 6 week appointment.

this is normal. everyone is different. if i could be sexual with the father of my child, i would be. there are many reasons why i cant. including too lazy to get back to shaving & stuff but mentally, i am horny for him. enjoy your sex while you can!

Really? I feel like all I see on this app are people saying how they risked infection by jumping straight back to it with their partners before the recommended 6 weeks and giving dangerous advice for others to do the same 😅

Girl I was two weeks PP thirsting so hard over my man 😂 & he was the cautious one. I think it’s so beautiful to want your person so bad after birthing the child you created with them!!! So normal

Would you rather have A) a fussy baby all day and I mean whining and crying but then sleeps through the night or B) a chill baby during the day and one who wakes up once at night who struggles to remain asleep for whatever reason but tries?

You all have the baby you have lol. Hubby and I were having a conversation about this as we have baby B but he said he would rather A bit then again he isn't on mat leave at home all day with the baby. I am just interested what others would prefer.

Are these cot liners ok and safe? Anyone else use these?

My 5 month old keeps getting his arms and legs stuck on the side of the cot. He also has bumped his head too. Are these ok? They’re saying they are breathable too?

Unusual behaviour of my 11 week old

Hi my baby is 11 weeks old, she’s a really good sleeper at night (7-9hrs) and is pretty consistent with day time naps as well, she feeds well and is generally pretty content- however today she has been unusually sleepy, quite difficult to wake up and when she’s awake she just screaming and spitting up clear and chunky, she’s been toileting like normal and she’s had most of her feeds but they are taking ages as she just falls asleep whilst feeding (current feed she’s done 1/3 of it and started 45 mins ago and has been asleep for 20 mins) I have taken her temperature and it’s 35.9 so I called 111 and they said she’s awake and looks fine so don’t worry and it could be the start of a viral infection but might be nothing - I’m not happy with this as this is unusual for her but has anyone else had a day like this with their little ones, or do I need to escalate again

Presents for baby shower

A colleague of mine is having a baby shower for baby number 2.
It’s been a while since I had my own, but I really want to get something practical for her and for her baby.
I’m thinking things like nappies, baby grows for baby. What else can I get?
Also she’s not a close friend, but I’d like to get her something nice too, I was thinking a nice water bottle she can take into labour or after to keep her hydrated.
What other practical things are a life saver in those first few weeks?

Would you let somebody taste your breastmilk?

Like a grown adult who you don’t know wants to try your breastmilk to taste

Would you allow it?
