Husband wanting me to stop exclusively breastfeeding

My little one has just turned 6 months and my husbands starting to get annoyed at the fact I’m still breastfeeding on demand. We also have a 2.5 year old and my husband is getting annoyed at how long it’s taking us to leave the house etc. and saying we should start formula feeding as it’s fairer on our toddler. To be fair to him he also says he would like to have a part in it and would like to give me a break which is fair enough but I find it easier breastfeeding and just get overwhelmed when I’m trying to get the kids ready and out and he’s having a tantrum because we’re late leaving . Does anyone else have this ?

I’m sorry he’s pressuring you, this really is your choice ♥️ honestly I don’t think bottle or breast feeding is going to make getting out of the house with an infant and a toddler easier

Sleep

My baby boy is 14 weeks and recently has been getting up earlier and earlier in the morning, he goes to bed 7-7.30pm and wakes once or twice in the night and wakes up at 7.. but now it’s 6am, 5.30, 5.15am. Any advice please, is he going to bed too early?

Apologies if this seems petty

I have an almost 2 year old daughter
She’s my whole life I adore her

I had a bit of a meltdown yesterday
We found out we’re having another daughter & I absolutely weeped like I mourned a son that was never meant for me
I dreamed up an entire world with my daughter & this second child being a son & it’s hit me so hard knowing now that won’t be my reality

I’m finding it really difficult to accept

Has anyone felt this way
I see all kinds of families around me with & without children with boys with girls with a mix etc

I am so grateful for everything I have
I just can’t help this feeling
My heart aches

My office is in the nursery

Hi all, this is very much a first world problem but thought it doesn’t hurt to ask. Our house is very small and so my PC/desk is in the nursery and the room is kind of split in half, I use it to game and create crafts on the side which I sell. Usually, I do this when baby goes to bed around 7pm as he’s not sleeping in that room yet and I get a good few hours every night and honestly I love this time it just makes me feel human again. Soon, our son is going to have to move into that room and I’m worried this means I won’t be able to use the room anymore in the evening as I literally have no where else in the house my desk can go. I just wondered if anyone was in a similar situation and either tried to use the room quietly and if that worked?

When will I have more time for school or work?

Hey there I’m a ftm and been home with my baby for 6 months. I enjoy it but I’m also wanting to provide more for her by getting an education or mentorship. What age do you think is gonna be the best to start setting those goals? Right now I feel like I’m too busy with her and keeping up with our house.

Saying no to Ms. Racheal?

Is my son the only one who watches Ms. Racheal and responds no when she asks if he can say or do something? It’s adorable and hilarious but should I be concerned? lol

Any advice on baby sleeping in the next to me? My 2 week old will sleep so well on me but when I transfer he does half the time or will wake up straight away. 👶
