New born trenches

Now I know what people mean when they talk about the newborn trenches. My baby is 1 month old and I haven't had any issues regarding sleeping at night except night feeds until tonight.
I have mastitis feel so unwell I haven't been able to go to the doctor yet, my baby slept the whole day and is now refusing to sleep and feeding every hour. I am running off 3 hours sleep in the past 48 hours.
My whole body is aching every single joint is agony even my fingers and the worst thing about it is they tell you to get enough sleep and rest for mastitis..
Can anyone relate to me

Breastfeeding after 6 months

Breastfeeding mamas, for those who are still doing it beyond 6 months, how often are you feeding your baby?

Emotions

So I’m 3 weeks postpartum on Friday and my emotions are all over the place, I have cried everyday since leaving hospital and last night I was so angry with my husband I punched the chair in our bedroom and my hand is absolutely killing me. Today I am just not feeling it with anything I feel sad, I feel like I want to run away and never return. Anybody else feel like this

Struggling with bowel movements

My 4 week old baby is struggling to poo regularly. He can go a couple of days without doing anything. He passes wind, you can see he is trying poo and is in pain/uncomfortable. He is formula fed on Aptamil, has infacol with every feed and we’ve started to introduce one pre-made bottle a day as have been told this helps them to poo/flush them out.
Has anyone else experienced similar and have any suggestions?
Would changing brand of formula help?

In their own room

I have recently put my little boy in his own room as he outgrew the next to me. However he keeps rolling onto his front and sleeping on his belly. He has rolled front to back a couple times one day but hasn’t done it since that random day.

Should I be putting him back on his back if he’s happily asleep on his front?

Obviously I have him on the monitor and he does cry out if he’s stuck or needs us etc…

Eating soap

So my kid is almost 2 and constantly wants to eat soap. I was wondering if anyone could give me advice, or is/went through this themselves. He just finished a bubble bath and keeps drinking the water whenever he gets a bath, he also keeps wanting to play with soap all the time.

Dummies (combi fed baby)

My 10w baby is mainly breast fed with 2 formula feeds a day and just won't take a dummy, my instant reaction was yay! But she won't soothe unless she's on me. I'm trying to wean off breastfeeding and more to formula but it's hard when she refuses to soothe otherwise
My mum had a nightmare with her today. She's just about finding her thumb but I don't want to encourage that really.

I'm a single mama so it's important she can soothe with my mum when upset otherwise I'm never going to catch a break.

We've tried loads of brands
Mam, tommee tippee, bibz, nuk

She was terrible finding a bottle she would take and had to try different bottle types, eventually she took the nuk bottles

Feel like I've created a monster by breastfeeding 🤣

Anyone got similar experience or advice?
