Anyone else’s baby just not sleep the best?

I always do 6oz in ...

Breastfed or formula?

What did you choose? Why and did you the the same for all kids? I just had my second and currently need to combi feed due to a severe tongue tie. But I also find BF restricts my time with my toddler which makes me upset. Wondering if anyone didn’t (fully) BF for this reason?

Feeling discarded

Just struggling. Baby dad has basically abandoned us. No contact and it hurts. He’s missing my baby’s life while being there for the girl he also had pregnant at the same time as me. That absolutely devastates me. How he can be present for one child and go out of his way to be there. But for my child he’s never put ...
