Night sleep

My 12 week old sleeps 5/6 hours at first but then wakes every 2 hours after that…

Sex question!

I’m almost 2 weeks postpartum 😂my sex drive is back and it’s driving me mad. Had my little boy almost 2 weeks ago but had to have stitches! How long do I have to wait before we have sex?! It’s driving me crazy!

Husbands and putting baby to sleep

I can't tell if I'm being overdramatic or not. My husband is very hands on with our 15 month old daughter. We both work full time and our days are extra long. I work earlier than he does, so he gets her ready in the morning and brings her to Grandma's and then I pick her up and start our evening routine with her. I usually cook and do most of the cleaning/laundry. But he's hands on helping as soon as he gets home. One day as week he's off by himself and has her all day. He loves this extra day with her.
But he never offers to put her to sleep, for naps or bedtime, if I'm home. Not since she was a newborn. I still breastfeed her to sleep of I'm with her,but we plan to wean soon. He says he just can't get her to sleep because he doesn't have "the magic weapon". On his solo days with her, when she needs to take a nap, they just watch TV until she hopefully falls asleep. He says he's tried music, rocking, low lights, etc but it doesn't work. I think he's not trying enough and taking the easy way out.
Am I being unreasonable for feeling annoyed that he never helps put her to sleep and always expects me to do so?

Coping as a FTM

Hey ladies... I guess my question is how do you cope? I'm a first time mom to an almost 6 month old baby girl, and I feel like more often than not, I lose my marbles. I had one instance where I just screamed because she wouldn't settle and I was sleep deprived and everything was too much, I was home alone and she was next to me and my husband had just arrived home and he took her and I broke down. I couldn't believe what I had done.

Today was another hard day and I started crying while he settled her for sleeping and she looked at me and I swear there was worry in her eyes. She was sad cause I wasn't holding her anymore and that just made me cry more.

I'm bad with loud noises and I tend to get overstimulated easily and I don't want that to affect her, but I don't know what to do. Can anyone else relate? I don't have any mom friends and I feel like my mom and sister think I can't do this whole mom thing and I just want to feel like there's light on the other side.

Circumcision

No negative comments needed, so please take your negativity elsewhere. Just wanting to hear from other mothers regarding the healing process, age of son at time of procedure and also what medication, if any, were you given by the clinic or practitioner ?

Baby wide awake

Baby has woken up at 3:30am & is wide awake smiling & giggling like it’s 7am 🤦‍♀️ not sure what to do, do I just let him be awake for a bit in the low light? He has a 2 hour wake window so really hope it’s not a full wake 😭

Weaning mums — did your baby’s milk intake drop?

My 6 month old has 2 small meals a day (occasionally a third) and since starting solids and switching from HiPP 1 to HiPP 2, she’s gone from around 1,000ml+ to 690–820ml a day.

Is this similar to what you experienced? Did you keep increasing solids or hold back a little to make sure they were still getting enough milk?

I keep offering her 6 feeds a day but she just doesn’t finish them since we started solids so just checking if this is normal.
