Postpartum

FTM currently 4 months PP. Has anyone else also having constant arguments with their partners for no apparent reason, snappy and irritated about everything? Is hating every other being around normal during postpartum? I was always short tempered but feels like 10x now.

Travel and Feed

I am traveling with my 4 into 5 month old baby. This is a long flight for more than 16 hour with layovers. I want to carry his formula on flight but not sure how to go about it. Is there a limitation for it or u can put it in baby diaper bag and they don't question? Can we carry premade formula bottles.? Is there a limitation on it since in flight you can only carry limited liquid substance. If powder formula how are we preparing it? Since it needs boiled/distilled water and even if u get the water from the hostess where are we cleaning the bottle we fed the baby from? I am very anxious guys pls share your experience and expertise if u have dealt with such situation.

Judging myself hard on how I am raising him

I am a FTM and have no family& friends bearby to help me sail through my postpartum phase where i have to take care of myself as well as my baby while actively keeping track of his milestones, getting him do extra curricular activities like tummy time to build his strength while i am sleep deprived and tired myself hardly able to handle my own emotions Sorry above rhe little vent above. I am judging myself hard because i am not putting my baby on floor for tummy or perhaps giving him sufficient tummy time on floor ro build his core strength or what not. I am judging and afraid that i might be delaying his developmental step unloke other babies of his age. He is 9 weeks old Moms pls share your thoughts.

Witching Hour

I have a 8 week old. He has been such a good boy so far no stress honestly, i should also credit his dad to take the load off of me when needed. But the Withching Hour is what stresses us both out. He diesnt5have colic, i massage him and make him release his gas out frequently so that he isnt in pain, but still the 2 hour loud cry after doing everything is scares us. Does anyone have any tip for handling that Withching Hour episode of the day?

Yes, we do step out for eve walks with him to relax him and hoping he stays asleep when we are back home.
