Postpartum
I can feel postpartum stealing my son’s early stages from me. I feel like I’m missing out on so much but I mentally just can’t do it sometimes. I don’t know what’s wrong with. I just hand him off to my husband constantly and go wash bottles, pump, clean the house or take a nap.. I wanted to be a mom my entire life.. but how the hell am I suppose to get over this postpartum depression/ anxiety stage so I can actually enjoy this..

Beautiful baby boy! Who loves his mommy. But babes you have to go out. You need to walk outside and get some fresh air. Take the kiddo with you, and walk. Sing to him. Speak life into him and yourself as you talk to him
The only way I can get my self out of postpartum depression is making sure I get out of the house everyday. Spending time with my husband and constantly going on walks/going window shopping has helped so much!
You’re lucky to have a husband that can take over when you need a break. I recommend that you speak to your OB & get on antidepressants. Don’t be afraid to ask for help.
Agree with the above what helped me both times was walking outside, going to the gym, and getting out of the house with both baby and hubby
Take Jamieson ashwaganda for stress
I was in the same boat so I started some medication and its been waaayy better!!!

Stopping bottle
My 2.5 year old is still drinking the bottle( normal milk) which I know he shouldn’t but it’s only once at night to sleep as I have a 4 month old and it’s difficult to put them both down, how do I stop the bottle?

Hey mums. I am struggling bad with my little girl at the moment. she is going through a stage where she will scream at anyone who looks at her. She’s also biting people and biting herself when she gets angry or gets told no. Definitely the terrible twos come early.

Breastfeeding
I have a 3 week old baby who is breastfed only but seems to cluster feed and seems really unsettled most times. I know shes getting enough milk and is also gaining weight but the constant crying is frustrating and makes me want to cry. I am trying to feed her more upright so she is not laying down and also keeping her upright after feeds but any advice? As I feel like im failing as a mother 😢

Avoiding tearing
Hey ladies! Has anyone started taking any supplements, doing any exercises, or anything else to help prevent tearing during birth? Would love to hear what you’re doing or what’s been recommended to you! ❤️

My husband is having his 2nd nap of the day.
He’s also been unemployment for almost a year. I’m so sick of his shit.
