Is it just me?

My LO is a month and a half old and I want another baby. I know I can’t have one rn bc we aren’t financially able to but I want another baby so bad it’s not even funny.

Mine will be a month old tomorrow and I want another so bad it’s not funny.

I have my 3 under 2 😩

I totally understand lol. I'm a single mom to my 2 month old and I keep saying I'd have another right now if I could 🤣

How?!? Do you have a lot of help? My baby is 4 weeks old (and is super chill) and I'm barely surviving just with her so kudos to you lol. From pumping every 3 hours to her waking up in the middle of the night multiple times to trying to also live a somewhat normal life during the day while operating on 3 or 4 hours of sleep (i.e. cleaning, making dinner, laundry, etc.).. honestly I would love for her to have a sibling but I don't know if I'm strong enough to go through this all over again. Plus I had a pretty traumatic labor which ended up in an emergency C-section, so I'm still recovering from that.. I don't even want my husband to look at me, much less to have sex lol 😆

@Jana my mom and husband have been a huge help. I don’t pump, just feed on demand and she gets formula due to her being able to only nurse on one side(the other side is an inverted nipple and she won’t latch when I do get it)

i somehow got lucky enough for my baby to already have two brothers on her dads side so i’m one and done like i always said 😂🤝

I feel the same way. My hubby and I definitely want to give our baby boy (7 weeks today) a sibling close in age. We’re trying to buy a new house and selling our current one so probably after that gets settled.

Makes sense.. yeah it's just my husband and I, and he travels for work a lot so it's pretty much just me. Both of our families are not around which makes things much harder 😭 honestly what's killing me most is pumping since breastfeeding is just not working for us but I want her to have my breast milk. I feel like this would be a bit easier if I was feeding her with formula but for some reason I just feel so guilty... I will see for how long I will be able to keep this up until I'm mentally just done

@Jana have you seen a lactation specialist? Or 2...or 3? I struggled breastfeeding my first and the first consultant I had wasn't very helpful. I waited a few months and then had enough courage to try a different one and she helped so much. Definitely try a couple and see if you can get that going. Pumping is sooo hard and in my opinion gets worse as the baby becomes more active and you want to be playing instead of pumping.
