Hey mumma, you have so many hormones going around right now so your emotions are probably super heightened. It sounds like the start of PPD. I had it with my 2nd, where I didn't want to be around him and he annoyed me so much. I just wanted to play with my (at the time 15 month old). Have you got much support at home? I'd consider speaking to your midwife or GP about these feelings. There is nothing wrong with having these feelings and it can change. I was given sertraline and after about a month my feelings completely changed. I'm not a medical professional so I can't say for sure. But it does sound like how I felt and I thought at the time if I just carry on it will go away but it got worse. Please reach out to someone. Sending love and hugs. Reach out if you need to talk. ❤️

Hey hun I’m on the exact same boat as u excpept my 2nd baby is 9 months it’s stress overtired overworked we’re just burnt out we love our babies deep down but at the surface when we’re struggling we look for easier options it’s just nature don’t be so hard on urself ur doing amazing and u should be proud of urself for that we all have a phase where we feel like this and I feel like this 24/7 latley 😅xx

I could've written this myself .. autistic 3 year old and a 16 week old. We have had such awful behaviour, speech and sleep regression the whole four months that isn't getting any better. He is starting in a special support centre for 15 hours a week in September so I am praying that will help. I wish I could offer a fix, but I can offer solidarity as someone who 100% gets it and offer my inbox if you need to vent ❤️

I’m due really soon, but honestly, the healing down below part after birth is on my mind honestly how bad is it? What are your guys stories or any advice please 🥹 I bought a peri bottle and perineal relief spray so far, anything else?

My baby girl is 2 months old, and she recently went through a formula change, she was going regularly, and then all of a sudden she has stopped being regular... its also presenting itself as diarrhea, is that normal??

My baby girl is 6 weeks old. She sleeps so well during the night, no fuss and is now only waking up once for a feed!
Since she’s born she’s slept really good at night time but always wants contact naps during the day. Everytime I put her down she would wake it never worked.
But I feel like in the last week she’s struggling to settle even with contact naps. Takes her ages to settle like she’s fighting falling asleep.
Did anyone else experience this? Any advice?

Morning everyone! Just wondering what a typical day looks like for you? How often is your baby on a play mat or in a bouncer etc?
I'm not really sure what my wake windows should look like and how long she should spend in my arms or on her play mat etc Per wake window / day.

He sleeps through the night, so no diaper changes
