My 10mo waking every 3h for 4oz bottle. People tell me my baby wakes at night because I underfeed him, but I follow his cues! He has formula + 2 solid meals full bowls (Lunch & Dinner, no breakfast/snacks). Overnight, he wakes every 3 hours like clockwork and downs 4 oz every time (12–16 oz total).

Is he actually underfed during the day, or is this just reverse cycling?

How do I safely cut back these night bottles so he eats more by day? I’m exhausted!

I'm in a very dark place with severe PPD. I have no family or friends here in Germany, and the isolation is destroying me. I desperately need a community, a friend, or just someone to sit with me.

I can’t handle doctor appointments or insurance forms right now. I'm too exhausted to function, let alone fight German red tape for household help (Haushaltshilfe).

Are there low-barrier options (Wellcome, Frühe Hilfen, casual mom meetups) where I can just get human support without filling out forms first? I can't do this alone anymore.

Hi everyone, I’m living in Germany with my husband and our 10-month-old baby. Ever since giving birth, I’ve been struggling with severe Postpartum Depression (PPD).

I went to my home country for 3 months to be with family, which helped immensely. My husband supported me a lot throughout that time, but since I returned to Germany a month ago, my mental health spiraled again. Now, he is completely exhausted and tired of me. When I brought up going back home because I can't handle this alone, he got extremely angry and threatened me with divorce if I mention it again.

I’m currently on Zoloft and Clonazepam, but they aren't working anymore. I’m having dark thoughts, thoughts of harming myself, and I’m terrified of losing control around my baby. I feel trapped, isolated, and scared.

I want to go back and never come again.

We are travelling from Germany with car and extra night stays to make it baby friendly. It would be a week long trip. Would it be fun or completely exhausting? Our friends are also going. Idk if we should go or not.

seriously. no tv, no walker, no jumper, no nothing. it feels like every single thing designed to give a mom 10 minutes to just go to the bathroom or drink a hot coffee comes with a giant warning label. it’s like we’re supposed to just carry them 24/7 and never sit down.

​i'm just so tired. a sane mom has to be worth something too, right?

Im v stresses about it. He eats n feeds well during the day also I dont feed to sleeep. I think im the only when stuck in newborn phase forever. I need tips and help. What am I missing?
