Breastfeeding in public

My baby is 6 days old, I want to start going out but I’m a little nervous about breastfeeding in public, sometimes she doesn’t latch well and it can take a while but I don’t want it to stop me getting out. Any recommendations on how to cover up but still get her sorted without it becoming too stressful for both.

Has a GP ever given you their mobile number?

I can't decide if this is normal or not. For context, I've met him several times and he's always been nothing but helpful. Then one day he gave me his number and said I could book in with him directly next time. I also wasn't sure if he just meant to use it on that one occasion or whether he was okay with me contact...

When can I leave my baby with MIL?

Our baby is due on June 8th and it’s my husbands 30th on 29th June. So if she comes on time, she will be exactly 3 weeks old. I’d like to take my husband to the cinema (a film he really wants to watch comes out that week) and for a meal. I’m hoping to breastfeed so I know I’ll be very tied to the baby but also hopin...

Husband is sleeping on the couch Am I the Asshole?

My daughter and I fell asleep together around 9pm. Her father started a phone call a few feet away and woke us up after it took me forever to get her down. I brushed it off decided to use the time to get things done. He wasn’t doing anything but playing on his phone so I asked if he would keep an eye on her so I cou...

How many times a day do you think “I wanna die”?

I am not planning on killing myself. I don’t even really think l want to die. Like the thought of leaving my kids sounds unbearable and I would never do that. I just find myself thinking that phrase a lot. And yes I’m in therapy and on medication. Just curious if anyone has dealt with this?

Does this happen to anyone else..

My son fully wakes up, is wiggling and fussing around so I go get a feed ready.. come back and he is asleep again? So I go back to bed and then he jumps awake and starts all over again? It’s not active sleep because he’s proper looking around but then it’s like he passes out? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Anyone else up?

Cannot get my boy to settle and stay in his bed tonight 🫠 I think he’s really overtired at this point and keeps demanding fed but falling asleep on the boob. I’ve waited various lengths of time to put him down, burped him and made sure his nappy is clean and he is still not staying asleep despite feeding almost non…

Gentle parenting 🫠

How am I supposed to gentle parent a child that literally doesn't stop crying ever? He literally just screamed and cried for 30+ minutes because he wanted a chocolate chip granola bar right after dinner (that he refused) and I told him he had to wait until after pjs.
