Back sleeping!!

I’m 23+3 as still sleeping on my back. I can’t for life of me stay on side. I did buy one of those huge U shape pillows but I don’t find it comfy then end up chucking it on floor in middle of night. I think it’s kinda fine until 3rd Tri. Just want to know if anyone else is really struggling to stay on there side and end up on back!

It’s not like it matters yet,but for some reason I am super stressed about it this time even though I wasn’t with my first also those pillows, have you got it the right way up, u bit goes at the bottom not for your head use your own pillows

Me!!! I just can't stay on my side. I am 100% a back sleeper. But I did some research and they say that if it starts cutting off blood supply or being dangerous... Then you should start to feel it by getting dizzy and light headed. So I think if you are on your back and feeling fine, then you are safe.

Same!! I keep rolling on my back and couldn't sleep for the thought of that I could be harming baby. Had the huge U shaped pillow too and it just wasn't helping at all. I've recently bought the smaller mell & kin set, it's the same as the baby bub ones too and I feel like that's helped a bit. It's much smaller and I've found it more comfortable to sleep with!

Ditto. I always fall asleep on my side wedged in between two pillows and 100% of the time I wake up on my back 😂

I'm the same lol I go to sleep on my side but always wake up on my back ...I bough the other type of pregnancy pillow that's like two separate bits and absolutely useless lol 😂 just taking up space on my room actually get a hit annoyed when I see the pillow during the day maybe as I get more pregnant I will find it more useful idk but right now I feel it was such a waste 😂

Mounjaro

Is mounjaro allowed to be taken whilst breastfeeding? I’m not on it yet, but considering it as it’s the only thing that helps me lose some weight due to my health conditions.

Tired 10 weeks postpartum mum needing reassurance from formula-feeding mums 🙏

Hi mums, I’m 10 weeks postpartum and feeling so burnt out. My baby doesn't latch, so I’ve been pumping and mixed feeding. Pumping is exhausting me, and I’m really thinking about quitting.

Because I work in healthcare, the guilt is hitting me hard and I keep overthinking the benefits of breast milk. But my mental and physical health are slipping.

Would love to hear from moms whose babies are 100% formula-fed. Please tell me your formula babies are thriving and that you got your sanity back! Need some reassurance today. 🙏

Struggling with feeding

My little girl is 7.5 weeks and we are struggling with feeding. When she takes the bottle, halfway into a feed she will be hysterically crying and want to continue to eat but keeps pulling off. This happens with the boob but not as much as only feeding boob mainly at night with a few day feeds. She will take the bottle if she’s either tired or distracted. Has anyone experienced this please? It started around 1.5 weeks ago and we are mainly doing pumped breast milk. Hoping this is just a phase 😩

Baby not burping - consequences?

My little one is 5 weeks old and does not wind!! No matter what I do. I try for like 15 minutes and he doesn’t bring anything up, I tend to keep him lying on me after feeding if I can’t wind him and he’s normally ok. There’s been the odd occasion he’s spat up when I’ve led him down but it’s very rare. What is the consequences if he is not burped? It’s stressing me out because surely he has something to bring up and don’t want him being uncomfortable 🙈
