Post partum sex
VAGINAL BIRTHS, NO STITCHES OR COMPLICATIONS -
How long did everyone wait until they had sex? I usually hate these posts now I’m finding myself asking the same question hahahaha. The sexual tension we both have is unreal, we’ve not slept together since 2nd May😮💨 i usually have more self discipline than this! Baby was born 10th August so I’m 3 weeks and 2 days, not much blood is on my pads anymore however it’s there when I wipe. We almost tried the other night but I chickened out in case it hurt 😢

I think they advise to wait 6 weeks as due to the wound left inside (from your placenta).
Having sex could cause an infection. I know it’s hard gal but you got this x
They advise 6 weeks 🙈 you are going to need to wait a few more weeks incase you get an infection xx
The infection risk is huge. You have a massive internal wound that needs to heal, please give your body time!
I didnt wait 6 weeks with either my 1st or 2nd i was 3-4 weeks both time, i wasnt bleeding but it did bring on another short bleed so yeah not advised x
I waited 3 weeks. The risk is blanket across all cases - so in your case despite what others have said - not huge. Your wound is healing well and not very vulnerable if you're no longer bleeding. I'm sure your partner understands to take things slow and listen to you so you can change your mind or slow things down. If you can, wait until there's nothing when you wipe

Is it regression? Growth spurt? Teething?
OMFG!
I want to scream, cry, run away, sleep for a week!
All the above!
My DD is 9 1/2 months..
She was so chill as a teeny weeny but last few weeks she's horrible (not all the time, but majority)
Whingy, clingy, crying. Hates getting her nappy changed or dressed. Fighting her naps through the day AND not to mention that through the night she'll go to sleep at bedtime but then wakes up a few times and sometimes even is awake 2/3 hours!
What the hell is going on?!
I keep telling myself its a phase... BUT my 3 year old doesn't sleep all night either so I'm usually tackling 2!
I go back to work next week too so god knows what's going to happen and nursery are going to struggle with her.
Help a mama out!
Don't let her photo fool you lol

Am I the asshole for being nervous/ paranoid when my mother in law has my baby even when she’s just near him?
Hear me out, when I was pregnant she would always make jokes in the beginning and during my pregnancy. Saying, “oh this is our baby” and at first the way she would put it was funny but after a while it seemed possessive. So anytime she’s near him my skin crawls and when she’s holding him I can’t have a conversation with anyone because I’m so fixated on him making sure he’s okay. I don’t know, it’s probably PPA kicking my butt. Also I’ve stated multiple times he doesn’t need to be infront of a phone or tv because he’s 3 months old. Talk to him, play with him, yk. In return in a passive aggressive way I’ve been told that I’m wrong or “unfair because mummy gets to”.
I don’t know let me know y’all’s thoughts/ opinions or advice

Feeding
My 6day old is on 3oz and is currently being fed every 2 hours however sometimes she’s waking up 30 mins before this and not settling until fed . Really don’t know what to do . She doesn’t show any signs that she’s drank too much eg being sick etc .
For reference she was 8lb3oz

Combo feeding
Hey mamas! I’ve been looking into combo feeding my little one and was just wondering y’all’s opinions and which formula you would suggest? (Hes a gassy guy)
He’s six weeks old and my supply is still a little all over the place and he’s starting to eat more so i just want to make sure he can take formula incase i cant get my supply up to where he needs it in once he really starts munching!

Enough room in crib??
My 6M old is rolling confidently and wants to sleep on her stomach. She sleeps on her side against the edge of her crib, and once she gets rolled over enough to be on her belly, she hits the other side of the crib. She seems to get stuck and frustrated. It’s been causing more frequent wake ups. Anyone else struggling/ struggled with this problem? If so what did you do? I’ve considered a floor bed so she has more room but her nursery is small and it would take up most of the space.
