Feeling so down today my daughter passed away Friday night only 3 weeks and 3 days old . Just been hard I have no one to talk to how do I even deal with this pain . Any moms want to be friends and any advice
Hey y’all! I’d LOVE some advice. Rant ahead. I have an 8 month old who wakes every 45 min-1.5 hours at night and needs to be rocked, patted or fed everytime. We can’t exactly exactly sleep train him because we’re the middle unit in an apartment building and honestly I try to nip it in the bud whenever he wakes up b...
It’s been 5 days since and I’m already feeling the flame lol. Imma wait it out tho but is it okay to go when you stop bleeding ?
I wanna tell her off so bad. People who don’t take care of the bare minimum for their children, make me absolutely sick. I recently started going to church, and I’m trying to be a better person, but when it comes to things like this, I’m not sure I can bite my tongue. I don’t know how to respond in a gentle way bec...
Does anyone else’s newborn sleep constantly throughout the day and then hardly sleeps through the night?? What do I do😆
My baby was given a bottle of formula before by boob and took that nipple better but I want to Brest feed when home she is 6 weeks now any pointers? I know I should she a lactation consultant but at the hospital they had one and she latched with her but not at home.
Basically hubby doesn't get along with his mom. He says if she gets too involved (comes over as often as she wants), she will cause problems. Our baby is 3.5 months old. We haven't had her over at all during this time and a handful of times met her outdoors. I can tell she's wanting to come over but I've been tellin...
I’m honestly so exhausted and burnt out. I feel like I can’t enjoy my 2 week old baby. I cry so much every day because I feel so inadequate. I am having so much trouble with breastfeeding my boy and having enough supply for him. He’s vomiting 50-75% of formula feeds which is extremely distressing. For a bit of bac...
My baby is in this constant cycle where he wants to feed (breastfeeding). Then falls asleep after 10-15 min and I transfer him to his basket then gives me feeding cues desperate for boob after 5 mins of being in the basket . I’m getting really exhausted with tension headaches, could really do with an hour’s sleep
Hi all - my little one is nearly 8weeks and has been having large green runny poos since around 6 weeks. She’s exclusively breast fed - used to have normal yellow seedy poo regularly until it turned to this at 6weeks. At the same time she’s been having tummy gas pain where she didn’t before… and poos way less freque...

Also has he ever suck on and off (not coz u have overproduction of supply) but more like playful way. But still feeding. My little shit has been doin this l...
Since my baby was born on march 27th, I have been struggling with breastfeeding. First baby girl was having a hard time latching and getting enough from me. The hospital made me use a nipple shield. It helped or so I thought. Turns out she wasn’t eating effectively off me and would always be hungry after a feeding. ...
I am already exhausted and Im having the night from hell. My 8 week old usually sleeps 10pm-2am, then wakes 2 hourly throughout the night after. Today he didn’t sleep until after 11pm, woke at 1pm and has been awake since. Everytime I put him down on the crib he wakes. I’m stressing knowing I won’t cope tomorrow ...
Is anyone else’s baby been constipated already? Baby girl is only 10 days old and hasn’t been for a poo for 3 days now. I rang midwife’s yesterday and they said to ring 111. Had an appointment with the doctor today and they have ruled out any obstruction’s or anything else serious. It just says online that baby shou...
How often do you guys give a 1 month old a bath?? I read that it’s best to only do 2-3 times a week. Is that correct???
