Period return- combi-feeding
I’m 8.5 weeks pp and my period has just come back. I am combi-feeding (50% breastmilk and 50% formula). Does this timeline seem normal? I don’t know why I was expecting longer before it came back 😭

Yes this can be the correct timeline.
In the gaps where you aren't breast feeding it lowers your prolactin which can mean your cycle comes back. Especially if you aren't breastfeeding at night as this gives your body plenty of time to return your hormones closer to normal
Yeh I think it does for combi with my first night feeds reduced so came back 12 weeks pp then when we hit the 4 month regression she fed every 1-2 hours I was fuming it had it came back lol

Own room
When is everyone realistically thinking of putting their babies in their own room? I feel like we would all sleep so much better if mine was in his own room by now!

Being intimate after an episiotomy
I gave birth 4 weeks ago and the delivery was difficult, my baby was in the wrong position and with the cord around her neck, but the midwife didnt check and got me to push for an hour with no luck. I then was taken to the operating room and had a forceps delivery with an episiotomy. Im now 4 weeks post partum and I am conscious of my intimate area as I can always feel it but its not exactly painful just not comfortable like it was before. A few days ago a midwife said my stitches look to have gone now and it looks healed but I know ill get it properly reviewed at the 6 week medical check. My husband and I do want to be intimate as its been a while now, but im conscious that my area doesnt look or feel the same as it did before and I dont know what it will be like when I do have sex again. Im curious what others experiences have been who have had an episiotomy.

People with 2 or more children!
What ages did your children share a room? I have a 2.5 year old who sleeps through the night no issues, and a 7 month old who currently still wakes at least once in the night and has a bottle, we have a 2 bed house so they will be sharing a room and some point but just wondering what ages people moved their youngest in with other kids !

Cold sore and baby is two weeks old
I have a tingling on my lip and I’m thinking it’s the start of a cold sore as has been the case in the past. Has anyone had this before?? How did you protect your baby from exposure? I don’t know how best to protect him. I’ve obviously stopped kissing him, but I was kissing him today before I felt this tingle. I’m worried about spreading this to him and exposure he may have already had. Is it overboard to contact the GP?
I’ll be getting patches tomorrow but want to make sure I’m doing everything I can, so if anyone has any suggestions thanks in advance!
I feel so guilty and awful that I may have exposed him. It’s second nature to kiss him now so I’m struggling a little and I’m worried I’ll slip up. I’m so angry I have to worry about this. Thanks to my grandma when I was young, I was exposed and now I have to deal with this. To those mummas saying no to people kissing their babies, keep saying no you’re doing what’s best for them!

Cot blankets
I just need advice what age did you get a cot blanket for your lo I have a 13 month old and he is waking up in the night I am assuming is because he is cold but he won’t sleep with a sleeping bag he will just scream until I take it off but I am so nervous to give him a cot blanket and pillow

It’s crazy being with someone for so long and a baby changes your dynamic that you almost break up before the child is even one is this a part of postpartum balancing motherhood and my relationship with my significant other 7m pp
Any success stories breaking up and getting back together
