4 weeks. I was in the same boat, stitches had dissolved, didn’t feel pain, sexually frustrated. It hurt though I can’t lie, but more internally rather than the stitches itself. It’s only now starting to be comfortable and we’re at 7 weeks pp (tomorrow)

What do you do during your toddlers tantrums?

My little boy had what I would say was his first tantrum yesterday, and it was over putting his shoes and coat on (i’m sure they’ll be many more to come) but i just continued to put his coat and shoes on an getting his brother ready through the kicking screaming and crying. Is that okay? As soon as we got outside he was fine

Nighttime sleep

What is everyone’s sleep looking like at night at the moment? My little man is 7 weeks Saturday and his longest stretch of actual sleep overnight is around 4 hours, although including the time awake he’ll go 5.5 between feeds in that instance. He’s a big boy and gaining weight happily so I’m not worried, just curious how everyone else is doing (other than being shattered 😅)

10 week old

Hi my little boy is 10 weeks old on Sunday and he’s exclusively breastfed but over the last week he’s been favouring my right breast and not really taking my left too well. I didn’t breastfeed my first son so this is all new to me. Can baby have a favourite side to feed on, thanks for any advice

Post partum bleeding

Hello I was just wondering how long everyone bled for after vaginal delivery?? I am almost 3 weeks post partum and I am still bleeding. It's gotten lighter but it's still there.

Anyone else on the night shift? 😴

Lying on the sofa with one of my girlies asleep on my chest after feeding. She’s 6 weeks and is being so fussy at the moment, crying a lot, so I don’t dare move while she’s settled 😅
