Baby HATES getting changed
I'm tired of wrestling a baby crocodile!!! I actually dread the moments where I need to change his clothes or change his nappy because he scream cries and wrestles me off - to the point where I lose my cool and get super stressed. And he has an absolute meltdown when it comes to putting on clothes.
Ive tried giving him household items and toys, I've tried singing, I've tried playing games to make it fun..... What else is there to try??

It’s really normal. My baby does it too. I just don’t get stressed because that doesn’t help. If you time it, you’ll see it doesn’t take that much time, and it’s not worth getting stressed about? I used to do that when my baby was difficult to put to down, but when I timed it, it put it into perspective that in 24 hours, it’s not that time consuming.
I know it’s not recommend for kids lying down but with my eldest when she hit this phase I used to give her a snack to eat while doing nappy changes etc as it kept her distracted and probably will do the same when my 10m old starts being like that. If your LO has good eating skills might be worth a try but obviously it comes with risks x

First period after birth
Hi, any EBF mamas here - when did you get your first period back after giving birth? I am currently 4.5 months PP and haven’t gotten mine back yet, I know if you’re breastfeeding it normally takes a while to get it back but just curious to know how long it took others!

Would you be worried?
Diaper pic in comments. My 4 week old has had 2 diapers now with small amount of bright red blood. The first one was a normal yellow colored poop but this one is green. Of course the pediatrician is closed for the weekend so I’ll call them tomorrow but has anyone seen a diaper like this?

Mil stupid opinions
My Mil is visiting every other Saturday , stays for an hour or so to see my baby , never asks if i need any help or support knowing that i am struggling with taking care of baby, cleaning and cooking, doing my masters degree and also studying for my driving theory test. Yesterday she started asking me questions about when I am going to start sleep training cause she thinks my baby needs to learn how to be more independent (we cosleep). It really pisses me off that i have no help from her whatsoever but she dares to give me sarcastic advices even if this doesn’t impact her at all. She s saying that her kids used to rock themselves to sleep and was very adamant from the beginning that newborn are able to self sooth , making comments about me wearing the carrier to often , or the fact that i rock the baby to sleep. When i was pregnant she used to say that she will be here all the time to help me out cause my baby is her only grandchild, the only help i have ever received was a roast dinner the day i came back from the hospital after a c section. She was against me having an elective c section because she would not be able to be in the room when the baby was born , getting upset and talking behind my back to the whole family about the fact that i dont know what a c section implies( i recovered very quickly and it was the best decision ever).
Long story short, i am european and she is english, i know there are so many differences in our culture but it just pisses me off so much to the point where i absolutely hate having her around. Worst part is that i can t say anything because my partner loves her to death, obviously being his mom and also my family is not around and they are all i have. She knows i m dealing with postpartum depression, she knows i am feeling really lonely and i can t drive atm , but she just never seems to care or makes a little effort to make my life easier. Asking for advice, i am feeling really down atm and i feel like i started holding a grudge

We’re two weeks into this new chapter 💗
Would love to hear how you manage a newborn and a toddler, especially when you’re on your own with both. Any tips or little things that have helped you would be so appreciated! 🫶🏼💕

Sleep regression
Hello, my baby is 6 weeks old and we are really struggling to get her to sleep lately.
She seems to fall asleep for 20 minutes then wakes up crying.
Has this happened to anyone else and is there any suggestions I can do to try and help her sleep longer?
