Almost 4 week old screams whenever he is put down, nothing seems to help when hes in his crib or even just next to one of us, he seems to need to be on one of us and its making it hard to get anything done. Sleep is hard too and he seems to want to feed all the time but rarely takes even a few ounce. I feel overwhelmed and lost 😕 😞

When my son is like this during the day i pop him in his carrier until hes in a proper good sleep, I then put him in the dokatot which hes usually quite good with but sometimes can wake up straight away and then we’re back to the carrier. At night i’ll try his next to me a few times but we mainly co sleep and i have to have one arm going around the top of his head and the other under his legs tucked under his back otherwise he literally wont lay down x

Baby wearing is the only way I can get anything done

I’m the same at the moment I can’t get anything done in the day because my son decides he wants to just scream all the time and can’t settle, he always seem awake, for a long durations and I feel like worst parent in the world. I know hard to say but remain positive, we’ve got this!
We found our baby is a baby girl this weekend.. I have been convinced she was a girl the entire pregnancy so it wasn’t a shock at all but just hearing it officially… of course I love her and I’m not evil, it’s just a lot to adjust and I am feeling really stressed and a bit sad really. I feel guilty that I’m not as excited as I should be and currently don’t want people to know because I’m not ready to be super happy about it yet.
I have always pictured my life with a son one day and, for very personal reasons and life experiences, I feel a lot of stress when thinking about protecting and raising a baby girl in this world which I’m sure people can relate…
I am worried about protecting her, I am worried about not feeling the same bond from her as a son, amongst a multitude of other things. I am not feeling excited to buy frilly dresses or go to dance classes and I know it will all settle and logically I won’t imagine life without her and I do love her, it’s just overwhelming me..
Any advice… 🌸

Adding to all this penis talk lol
Don’t ask me how this came up but my husband was sharing his crazy patient surgery stories and randomly tells me about “the biggest penis he’s ever seen”. Reasonably I burst out laughing because those are words I never expected him to ever say 😅.
Anyways he goes on to tell me how before the surgery he meets with this patient, who goes on to tell him about STI’s and STD’s gotten due to his extensive sexual history.
My husband says when he was on the table it all clicked and he understood why this guy had so many girlfriends 😂🤣 he compared it to a footlong and is very clinical in general so I truly believe him.
All this to say I’m flabbergasted a penis that big even exists and I now need to know if anyone has had large penis run-ins with past partners?!

So my oldest is 2 and a bit and we are thinking of getting him a speech therapist because he is still hardly taking and me and his dad are doing the best we can we take 30 minutes when he wakes up before lunch and before bed to talk to him try get him to repeat but nothing and when I talk to my helf vister about it and him possibly being autistic or on the spectrum I get he’s just a boy or he’s only 2 but we have had our suspicions for a good bit know and the older he gets the more it ponts to it I just feel like am not getting listened to and I want to help my son the best way I can and I just feel like am failing him by not knowing what to do

Hi mamas!!
I’m currently looking for cars as i go back to work in a few months.
I don’t want a huge car as i hate driving them but want a decent sized one to be able to fit all my baby’s things - ie car seat with isofix and pram.
I only have 1 child but need something reliable.
Could you give me any suggestions? x
