Let's talk bras

Hey mamassss 💕

New to momin', so for those who breast feed/fed (or didnt and it just happens, NO Shame!) And the milkshakes went deflated... what kind of bras are yall wearing that some lift & support that are comfy?

Idk of this is a silly question but I can never get a real answer 😂 Its either "idk" or there is none. I just wanna feel a lil sexy again, have some good support without lookin like theyre melting out the middle from all the extra skin 😂🥲 Seems like sports bras and nursing ones are the only ones that meet the bar lol anyone else?!

Another night of staring at the breast pump I bought...

Another night of feeling inadequate. The mum-guilt of not figuring out breastfeeding is so bad at night.
He stopped latching on day 3, I bought some pumps but pumping makes me miserable so I avoided it and only made about 20 ml a day.
I bought a really expensive pump in hopes it'd help but I've not used it yet, I just stare at it every night, hating myself.
He's drinking around 100ml of formula a feed now. I'm never going to be able to catch up with my supply, and even if I do, he still won't latch. I feel useless.
I know that he is happy/healthy is what is important, but I still hate myself for not being able to do this.

Postpartum Body (Rant)

Im having a hard time accepting how my body looks after giving birth, I know the body changes and it takes a while before everything goes back to normal. Before I got pregnant I was recovering from anorexia, I was 105lbs and during my pregnancy I gained 65lbs and when I gave birth I was 170lbs. Im not sure how much I weigh now I believe its between 150-160lbs, Im not so upset that I have gained some weight that was always a goal of mine but I am struggling with how my body looks in general. I just needed a space to rant, I feel like I cant mention this to anyone in my family or friend group because they keep telling me “you had a baby 3 months ago things don’t change that quickly” it feels almost like they are dismissing my thoughts and feelings when I just want someone to understand and validate my feelings.

Sleep training / baby who won’t sleep all night

Hi I have a 6 month old . Is there any methods to get her to sleep much better? Do I cut naps? Help? I remember my first just slept all night & napped in her cot no problem . Second born im really struggling with . Where do I start with daytime naps to get her in cot too? Thanks

Advice on sleep 😴

I have a 6 month old girl who has decided from 4 months she no longer wants to sleep through the night 🥲. She is up every 2 ish hours throughout the night, I think she goes out of her sleep cycle and struggles to get back to sleep herself, she only sleeps on me during the day and knows it’s bed time and happy sleeping in her next to me but it’s the staying to sleep she struggles with. I’ve not changed her sleep routine, kept it the same. She wants to sleep from about 6:30/7 (depending on when she wakes up from her last nap) so going to bed later isn’t an option, I’ve tried it and she doesn’t like it. When she got to 6 months, we transitioned her to her own room. It’s just got worse, she HATES her cot and I’ve moved her next to me into her own room and she finds it better, obviously, she isn’t going to last much longer in there as she’s getting way too big. I’ve been sleeping on the floor in her room so she isn’t on her own and mainly to give me a bit more sleep. When her dummy comes out, she can’t self soothe back to sleep. I can’t see a light at the end of the tunnel, sleep deprivation is really getting to me!! 🥲🥲
Does anyone have any advice on what I can do / change?
Also how to transition her into her cot? I think she likes the small space of the next to me!
She can be rocked back to sleep when she wakes up or sometimes I give her a bottle to go back down.

Hope I’ve given enough information here, any advice welcome 🤍!
