Partner Trying to Control EVERYTHING!

Okay! I’m almost ready to give birth and my partner and I have decided a long time ago about who will name our daughter. Initially, we both were suppose to decide on a first name together—which didn’t happen. I was the one who picked her first name; I gave him 4-5 months at least 🤦🏾‍♀️. Anyways, he agreed to the name I picked and I told him to pick the middle name; I think its only fair. He choose the middle name, but now he wants to switch her middle name with her first name! This is all because the middle name of my baby girl is a combination of both of our mothers name—which is sweet but NO! I feel like I’m being pushed to the side with decisions on my own child—first child at that. Any advice on how to be more stern and grounded ladies?

Hmm this is a difficult one cause I do understand that sometimes it’s as important for the both of us to pick a name😣
I always thought I’d be more lenient if we had a boy and let him have more of a say and if it was a girl then I would have more say in it? But we ended up having a boy and I love Zion and thankfully he liked it too so I got to have my way 😅
I think you guys should give it a few days not talking about it lol then come back and calmly talk about why it’s important for both and come to a decision together before someone ends up resenting the other.

Breastfeeding

Does it ever feel better? The actual feeding part of it is going really well and baby boy is growing so well. I’m struggling with how my boobs feel day to day - it’s really getting me down most days. The let downs make me feel awful and sounds silly but, I am also really missing not wearing a bra! 9 weeks postpartum and still getting fairly engorged, even with comfort pumping.

Any advice or just shared stories would help. I’m so torn between carrying on because I enjoy the feeding side of it or switching to formula.

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Big nursing bras!

I’m looking for recommendations for good nursing bras for bigger breasted ladies!

I’m currently in a 38H which seems to be the biggest size done at M&S (UK based mama here) and it’s snug and not as supportive as I’d like. When I look online, they mainly seem to be sized S, M, L, XL etc rather than bra sizes.

Any recommendations please?

Strange question

Hello. I would identify myself as asexual but yes i am married and i have a child. But now that ive had my baby. I think its solidified that im done having sex. I feel bad as my partner keeps asking me but i just dont want to. Any advice on what i can do? Any other asexual moms out there? I guess this could be confusing but im not huge on being bound by a label. I have just always felt it represented me best since highschool.
