Still no period 20 months postpartum
Hi! My husband and I are wanting to start trying for our second soon and I still don’t have my period. I’m still breast feeding but not a lot. 2 - 4x a day ish. My dr says I probably need to stop breast feeding entirely to get my period back.
Has anyone had to choose between breast feeding and trying for another? I’m feeling down about it.

I’ve never heard of that before…mom of 3 boys, 3 and under and I’ve had 2 periods, TOTAL since getting pregnant with my first in 2022. I breastfed all of them while pregnant with the next 😅 I only knew i was pregnant again because of symptoms, not a missed period.
I’m still breastfeeding my 2.5 year old.
It took me exactly 2 years to get my first period back and I was also considering stopping because I wanted to try for another but my period came back exactly when I was going to start weaning.
I’m 36 and pregnant. Your body will let you know when it’s ready and so will your oldest. 🫶
I've just asked a similar question to this in a different group. I was recommended the podcast making milk, specifically the lactation and fertility episode. I listened and it's got a really good insight into hormones and the tweaks you could do to get your cycle/periods back etc. worth a listen if you're able to

Has anyone got either of these? Which would you recommend and why? And how old was your child when you got one?

8 week very sleepy
My little girl was 8 weeks yesterday normally very alert in the day does nap still but today she’s been extra sleepy, had a 2 hour nap I woke her changed nappy and within 30 mins back to sleep again. She sleeps well at night so nothing to do with the nights. Is this normal to go through very sleep stages still

When babies stop contact napping?
6 weeks of cosleeping and contact napping. I love the snuggles but FOR THE LOVE OF GOD how do I manage to do anything else? I use a sling and carrier to be able to cook, clean, even go to the bathroom.. my baby is getting heavier and it’s not feasible to continue like this.. but I cannot put him down for more than 5 min without hearing the screamssss
When does it get better? when do they sleep and nap on their cot? I know everyone is different but there could be some general pattern for velcro babies

Feeling so stuck need some advice please :(
My husband has been emotionally abusive towards me since we had our baby. Things have escalated to the point where he has threatened to come and take our baby away while I’ve been staying with my parents, and even threatened to put my parents in a headlock if they tried to stop him. I feel like his empathy towards me has completely disappeared. He constantly pushes for his mother and sisters to be heavily involved in our lives, to the point where he’s seemingly willing to destroy his relationship with me over it. I feel like he’s constantly trying to tear me down. I’m finding it really difficult because, although part of me feels that I need to leave, I’m absolutely terrified of what that could mean for me and my baby. I’m scared of ending up having to co-parent with someone who has behaved this way and of potentially losing precious time with my baby if we separate. I’m just looking for some reassurance from anyone who has been through something similar that leaving doesn’t necessarily mean things will turn out this way, and that there is hope of protecting both myself and my relationship with my baby. 🥺

Does it look like it is making a good progress?

Night feeds
How is everyone staying awake during night feeds? I often can feel myself starting to nod off when he is feeding at 2am.
