😭😭Struggling with baby weight and feeds?

I am struggling alot. Baby is 20 weeks, weighed 5.6kgs at 18 weeks, he was born at 2.5kg though.
Has dropped a centile
He doesn’t feed much, on breast he gets distracted after hardly 2-3 mins
If i force he still wont take extra. Feeds after mostly every wake, so maybe like 5-7 times during day on breast and night mostly longer feeds and 3-4 times. Before night time, I give him 5 ounce formula, he takes 3-4 ounce mostly. Not sure what I am doing wrong but he is not feeding much but has been like this since start.
I see people’s stories about babies having 7-9 ounce and weighing 7-9kgs around this age. Please help me 😭😭😭

When did you cut your baby’s hair for the first time?

My little boy is 14 months old, and has gorgeous curly hair, but it’s starting to get quite long in the back. He has a natural baby mullet going on 😂
I don’t want him to lose his baby curls, but I also don’t want him to have a scruffy rat tail 🙈

4 week old tomorrow

Second bubba my first was completely different. Tips to get newborn to sleep at night in next to me, I’ve tried everything she just wants to latch on all night(breastfeeding) I’ve tried white noise, rockit zed, sleep sack, swaddle ect. I don’t like co sleeping it makes me feel uncomfortable and also due to loss of 4 year old.

Washing clothes

When do we stop washing new clothes before baby wears them?

Bath

How are we bathing our babies now that they are ALOT larger and more wriggly than when they were first born? I currently use the bath in the picture, but my girl now sits independently and keeps wriggling and sitting up and nearly falling out of this now. What's everybody using now? Unsure what the best upgrade is and what is available? Shes still wobbly when sitting so would hate for her to not have anything in case she flops over and bangs her head in the bath. TIA

Routine?

Have people got their 4+ week olds in a sleep/eat/awake routine yet or just winging each day?

Marriage problems

I have a 7 month old baby and me and my husband are first time parents. We’re both always stressed and I’m dealing with ppd and ppa. We’re are constantly bickering which turns into fights at least 3 times a week and I’m so tired of it. I’m hoping this is just a rough patch and things will get better but sometimes I think about leaving him and now I can’t get that idea out of my head. Has anyone else gone thru major relationship problems after having a baby?
