Getting sex life back!

11 months after having a baby and we had sex probably twice or 3 times I can't even remember. I love my husband so much that i feel sorry for him. I have zero libido but I don't mind trying, it's just the thought of it makes me feel sick like I have never had sex before in my whole life. If someone was in the same place what did you do? I co sleep and breast feed for context.

Wake windows

Is anyone else's baby having really random awake and nap times? I know wake windows aren't a science and I only use them as a rough guide but my daughter (15 weeks) was working towards a nice 4 nap schedule with 1.5-1.75 hours between naps, lately we've gone back to 5 naps most days (she is a chronic cat napper) but the last few days its been all over the place! Today she had 30 min, then an hour awake, then 45 minutes, 90 min awake, 45 minutes, 2 hours awake and has just gone back to sleep again now. Anyone else?

Weaning

What bits has everyone bought to start weaning baby? Also does anyone have any weaning book recommendations?

Wearable breast pump

Hi.
I'm reading a lot about how important to establish the milk supply. I really want to exclusively breastfeeding and I want to make sure I have enough milk, but I read the wearable breast pump can mess up the supply? It's not as simple as more you pump more you able to produce? Or I'm just think its that simple? What is your thoughts/ experience on this?

Constipation

Triple Feeding 🙃 Nipple Shield Weaning ? Any success stories !??

Hi everyone. My baby girl was born on 25th September at 34 weeks (she was 5lb 5oz) and we spent a couple weeks in hospital afterwards. Initially for the first 7 days she was tube fed and we were discharged triple feeding, so I breastfeed (have only had success with a nipple shield 🙃) then I top up with 45ml breastmilk afterwards and then pump. This is not sustainable long term but I guess I'm just looking for any success stories from doing this?!? I don't really know what to do, she doesn't transfer milk very well whilst breastfeeding as every feed takes a good half hour per breast (if I manage to get her to latch) and then she needs the top up after. It all feels a bit pointless using the nipple shield but she is completely reliant, has anyone managed to wean their little one off? I went to a breastfeeding clinic locally and found it a bit stressful so don't really want to go back (I just had a lady trying to shove my boob in her mouth for 20 mins without a shield whilst she screamed hysterically). I don't really know what to do and just feel like I need some reassurance to bin it all off and transition to formula maybe? Or shall I wait it out??

She will be 4 weeks on Friday and is now 5lb 14oz (up from 5lb 5oz).

Sending hugs to all you September mums 😄 xxxx

Sleeeeeeeep

Hi everyone I am so tired like extremely exhausted and I don’t know what the heck is happening here
My baby is almost 6 months and ever since she was 4 months we basically forgot sleep lol she would wake up around 5 times in the night and now recently started waking up about 7-8 times imagine!! Every 1 hour or 1.5 she’d wake up and sometimes some milk will settle her sometimes she wants a whole rocking and bedtime routine which is impossible in the middle of the night with my eyes closed !!! I haven’t slept for nights and nights what is this’s!! Is it sleep regression still? Or is this it like she’s gonna be like this it’s a habit or what is happening here I feel miserable
