Multivitamin
I was told by my health visitor today that I should be giving my 10 month old a multivitamin (vitamins A, C, D, E) now, instead of just vitamin D.
Does anybody else give their little one a multivitamin, if so which brand is good please?

This is what annoys me about HV. I haven't been told this, just that if/when milk reduces to 300ml per day with weaning, to give him vitamin D. Nothing about a multivitamin!
After 6 months, if they are not primarily formula fed, yeah. If they are taking up to 600ml of formula, No.
We do the Boots own brand.
I have a 2 year old and 10 month old. I can't take multi vits unless my bloods say I need to take something, it gives me a really painful stomach. I tried recently to give my 2 year old multi vits but she reacted in the same way. I'm reluctant now to give my baby boy any because of how she reacted. The HV we had with my first said as long as they're getting well balanced meals then its not a necessity but if they struggle with taking food then it might be beneficial.

Getting back to running
Iām 8 weeks postpartum. Mamas who run, what did you do to ease back into running? I deferred my October half marathon to next year but still did the one mile that was part of the challenge (šøāŗļø) Per my doctor I walked it since I havenāt been doing any specific exercises to prepare my body for the impact of running again. I am walking daily and last week resumed weight and strength training. Looking to hear from others about run prep you did postpartum.

PPD
My PPD has been consuming me. This has been going on for about a year now. The providers I have spoken with go right to medication. I, personally, donāt want to take something where the side effect list includes āsuicidal thoughtsā
When I talk to family, they shrug it off.
Constantly hearing āoh thatās normal, itās just your hormones.ā

Why is finding work so difficult with kids?
I have a 2.5 year old and a nearly 11 month old. Had multiple jobs since I was 18, now 29. Fully qualified in childcare which I did for 5 years but I really don't want to go back to that because the industry as a whole is awful. I've worked in warehouses, factories as well
My 2.5 year old goes to nursery twice a week and my youngest daughter will be starting in April and doing 3 days, my eldest daughter will be going up to 3 days once we get the funding after her birthday in March.
I havent worked in nearly 3 years, my partner works full time but they are at risk of losing their job and want to leave so I'm really stressing, we are also on UC and have been for a long time.
Earlier this year, I did an online college course in adult social care which I passed. My GCSE's were terrible when I left school and my maths is absolutely atrocious, even with that I started an evening course earlier this year but left because of anxiety and because I'm 99% sure I've got Dyscalculia.
I'm really not left with many options at all because no employers will take me on because of so many gaps in my CV, which are easily explained, but nobody will give me a chance.
I've also lost jobs in the past due to mental health, just feel like a shit parent and I've let my kids down especially as a lot of people keep telling me "I'm the most unemployable person they know".
In an ideal world, I'd love to work from home but you need money to be able to do that which is extremely tight
Any advice at all?

Contraception
Iāve currently almost 4 months post partum, already have a nearly 2 1/2 year old. I was previously on the pill ( no break) it worked really well for me and I didnāt have a period, I donāt want to go back on it I donāt want to forget to take it as my brain is so busy now I probably will.
I have had my first depo injection to try it as another option but I already hate it, I think itās making my hormones go all over the place, Iām having really bad mood swings, feel very stressed etc ( I know it also could be post partum) im also on my 10th day of my period with no signs of it stopping and Iāve never really had an issue with my periods being this long before. Iām confused with all of that and where my hormones are at the moment!
My question is, whatās other people experience with the depo injection during post partum time and what are peopleās thoughts on the implant and the coil, im not keen on the coil personally but would still like opinions āŗļø

Am I wrong for being upset that my husband wants to leave me and our newborn?
My husband recently found out his momās visa to visit us from another country was denied. I suggested we save money and plan a trip to visit her after the baby is born and Iāve recovered.
A couple of hours later, he TOLD me (didnāt ask or discuss it with me) that he plans to use his paternity leave to travel to see her for 1ā2 months, starting 2ā4 weeks after our baby is born.
Iām devastated because instead of being home supporting me through postpartum and bonding with our newborn, he plans to be in another country. I would completely understand waiting until the baby is a couple of months old, but I feel blindsided and disregarded.
Am I wrong for feeling this way? What would you do in my position? I genuinely want honest opinions. Looking for some advice or suggestions
