Feeling frustrated
My baby girl is 6 days old and ive been doing near enough everything. I do the night feeds and to say they have been hardddd! My boyfriend has been getting Atleast 7 hours of uninterrupted sleep other than when my 5yo son wakes up around 7. He’s just gone to bed to take a nap??? This has literally made me so angry I don’t know why it’s got to me so much. He was playing his video game until what time in the morning and then continued to play on it after he woke up earlier. Anyone else feeling like this?!

Yep. Im doing all the night feeds, im absolutely shattered & the midwife keeps sending me up the hospital with high blood pressure & im sure its because im so tired/drained. I took him down at half 5 this morning as ky partner was whinging about holding why i made a bottle 😢 like give me a break x
ugh I feel for you I do! I don’t get it I really don’t! Like I love being so hands on but sometimes we need a break you know! I can’t really moan because he is good but I just feel like he isn’t doing enough! X
It could be the other way round! My husband stands over me doing everything or wants to take over.. just as annoying! Xx
Yup 🙋🏻♀️. All the night feeds, majority of the housework as well. My partner sleeps through all his crying. Then when he is awake will have cuddles so I can run around like a blue ass fly and says ‘isn’t this amazing’ 🫠
I’m in the same boat x

[When does it get better? I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

[Rant/WWYD My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sht.” Literally have not lost my sht nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb. What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

[Not drinking I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m losing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

[Leaky nappy help What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too
