I have this fear that I slip and die whilst my baby’s on his playmat in the bathroom, and my boy will be left there for weeks on his own 😭

Yes I do this!!!!

I’ve had really weird fears about bad things happening and my babies being left without me and mine are 8 and 4. I’ll just be driving and randomly start thinking about what would happen if I had an accident or something happened. I’m a natural worrier I always have been so I always think about worst case scenarios

All the time!!! 😭

As a single mom, I 100% worry about this, especially since my baby is only 9 weeks old and his father's abusive, I have to actually make a living will that he goes to my best friend if anything happens to me

I live on the 2nd floor of my apartment and our stairs are concrete. I have a fear when I’m carrying her; freely, car seat, and her carrier, that I’ll trip and fall going down or up the stairs and drop her on her head 🤦🏻♀️😣 that’s really been my only fear since I was even pregnant but I’m married so dad would be home in a matter of hours if I fell in the shower or something where it’s not in public and someone can find immediately.

I can’t walk around a lake without thinking I’m going to have a random medical emergency where I collapse can’t move and watch my pram roll into the lake and someone helps me not thinking I have a baby… extreme I know but these intrusive thought as a mum are INSANE. I do try to laugh them off now and just think what the fuck because 99% of the time some of the scenarios my brain comes up with are completely and utterly unrealistic 😂 xx
Hi! I can’t stand the weird smell of any of the blue non bio washing stuff. Is there anything else that can be used for washing newborn? Something that smells a bit better 😬

Hi
I need to stop dream feeding my baby at night when he wakes up. How do you do this or transition? He is mainly breastfed but I’ve started to give a bottle on the night on the last feed before he sleeps

Anyone else a c section, co sleeping, breastfeeding mama and your body is just in bits? I don’t know if my bed is just uncomfortable postpartum or if it’s my body and cosleeping/breastfeeding positions. I feel like stretching helps a little but my hips and lower back especially are awful, but generally I just feel so achy and uncomfortable most of the time. Is it just me?

I'm curious...when your baby wakes overnight, what is it waking them up? Is it hunger or something else? My little boy (breastfed) only wakes for two nights feeds (which is great!) but wakes himself up after wriggling/flapping about in his sleep every 1.5/2 hours too 😬
