When did you start feeling like yourself?

I feel like after giving birth I don’t look after myself anymore, my son is now 1 year old but it’s like i don’t have the energy to do my makeup or my hair or even get dressed sometimes. And i really want to. When would you say you started really doing these things?

I feel the same aswell. Mine is 1 years (19months) and I barely even try as much of my appearance. My nails I used to do a lot but it does cost getting them done every couple weeks and dressing up wise, I’m just mostly in joggers or at home wearing pjs. Lol. I say, when you are out, try add something extra to make you feel alive again. I have also a 3 year old and when I had her I felt more my self once she turned 1. And started doing more, going out, gym and seeing people etc. start small then go from there. Maybe have someone watch over little one for a few and treat yourself abit. See how you feel, you never know. 😊

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.

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?
