4 month regression
I’m finding it really difficult and bed time is taking 1-2 hours. It is full of false starts and my bub seems wired despite clearly showing signs of being exhausted. I feel like I have no down time and it is mentally draining.
What time do you put your baby down for bed?

Mine goes down by 6:30 most nights, andit it was him that forced this routine, not me 😆
He tends to have short naps throughout the day (half an hour to almost an hour x 4 times ) and one time I put him down for the last nap (he was fighting it , so tired and upset - that was around 3 months of age) and he basically fell asleep around that time and slept until 4am!
It’s been our schedule since.
He’s 4 months now and we are in the sleep regression too, waking up every hour or so but still loosely sticking to 4am feeds and then back to ‘sleep’ 🫣
I would try an earlier bedtime, and see if it works? Also if it doesn’t work now (due to the regression), it could work later. It’s nice to have your evenings back somewhat! (Although I do have a 5 yr old too).
Good luck x
I’m the same 5:45 bath, feed at 6 then down by 6:30 which he has set! This takes us through till 3:30/4.
Can’t get him to go later or he is so over tired that it takes ages to put to bed!
Yep mine gets sooo tired by like 5pm so is usually asleep by 6:30pm! Though he wakes up around 11-12 for the first and then is up frequently after that but doesnt wake up for the day until about 7am. Absolutely shattered and well into about 6 weeks of this regression so far! Only thing i can suggest is offer more milk before bed maybe? Mine sometimes takes a whole extra bottle of breast milk before bed and it usually set him up ready for the longer sleep

Sex..
I’m really not interested at all 8 weeks post partum and my husband has been asking. I had a traumatic birth with forceps, an episiotomy and a small tear in vagina. We didn’t really have sex during pregnancy and that was fine as we were both a little weirded out by it!
I just wanted to check if others have felt the same!

Advice
My baby is 2 weeks old and it truly seems like she hates me.
I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong. My husband can easily calm her down but I can’t seem to do the same. She will be totally fine with him and the second he passes her to me, she will start crying.
I’m having a really hard time with it. Any advice?

Baby poops
I’m going alittle crazy! My ebf 11 week old for the past 3 weeks will only poop every 6 days. Brought it up to the pediatrician and I’ve done everything they told us to do. Bicycle kicks, tummy rubs, rectal temp check, warm baths and even a suppository. He is very low on the percentile like 9% so I feel like he isn’t holding on to the milk and about day 4 he is so uncomfortable. We took him to the ER Saturday and they did a xray and just told us he had gas. Went to a follow-up peds appointment and they started him on liquid Pepcid due to possible silent reflux. He burps & farts during/ after feeds. We give mylicon or gripe water for the gas discomfort which helps sometimes. I have a feeling this isn’t normal especially when he used to poop everyday.
Pic so we don’t get lost

Placenta Encapsulation
Curious what everyone is planning to do with their placenta after birth. Has anyone tried encapsulation, or is anyone considering it?
I’ve been looking into the process and would love to hear real experiences, good or bad. Is it worth it?
