FTM here my girl is 7 1/2 weeks. The past two weeks she's been very fussy in the evenings right before bed which I know is the 6-10 week developmental colick/fussyness. But during this we would at least get 3-4 hour stretches from her at night. Now she's down to sleeping barely 2 hours and wakes up so much in the night and is so squirmy when trying to put her back down.
I exclusively breastfeed and our bedtime for her is about 9:00. Any suggestions on getting back to sleeping longer?
Sincerely an exhausted mommaš

Ladies who have sex a few days/weeks after giving birth are only doing it for their men/to keep them happy/doing it in fear of them cheating & not because they are ACTUALLY ready or horny AND I'm 99.9% sure they don't fucking enjoy the experience either as their bodies are STILL recovering!!!
Love yourselves more ladies & stop letting your men guilt trip you into having sex & using your bodies as sex toys!

Why is everyone obsessed with taking my baby from me. People taking him and holding him is fine, but the whole visit they will have him and wont give him back to me, i feel they think its a joke and laugh saying i need to share with family but it gives me huge anxiety.
People suggesting i leave him with them to go ārestā, i donāt want to. I want my baby with me he is only 5 weeks old! Everyone has had their time and this is my time.

I made my best friend of 13 years the godmother to my son (she lives in GA and I live in PA. She attended both baby showers in two different states. She is getting married in Mexico next year. At the time I told her it wouldnāt be a problem for me to attend. Now that my son is here and the wedding will happen before he is even 1 I canāt imagine leaving him, not to mention how expensive the trip will be for just two/three days. She offered to help financially, she said my son can attend, but Iām not comfortable traveling outside of the country with him and my husband does not want to go or want me to go alone for safety reasons. After explaining this to her she seemed understanding. I also mentioned how Iām struggling postpartum with PPD AND PPA. She told
Me to just focus on my mental health and my baby and to let her know for sure by a later date if I could attend or not closer to the wedding. After this conversation she began to ice me out and not really continue conversations. She hasnāt asked about her godson she was so excited about or checked on me after opening up about my mental health. I confronted her about my feelings and it didnāt go well. To sum it up she feels upset and says she knows I have a village and chose to take space from me. She says I want her to get on a plane for the third time in 6 months when I canāt get on a plane for the only thing she asked me to attend. Which I didnāt not ask her to attend both showers and it was her idea to visit once he was born. We both have been there for one another through it all and it hurts to know she isnāt there for me at such a difficult time in my life and has not even asked about her godson. I think our friendship is over. Anyone have any thoughts?
