My son just turned 13 months and we are weaning and hoping to be done by 14 months. We are down to 3 feeds a day (morning wake up, nap, bedtime) and I think I’m having a hormonal crash or something. I’ve had the lowest lows this last week. From crying and so much sadness to intense anger. At one point I screamed into my pillow. I don’t think I’ve ever done that? My son head butted me in bed at like 2am and I woke my husband by yelling at him to take the baby. I texted my husband this last week saying that I feel like I am failing everyone and feel like a bad mom because I got frustrated with my son. My heart feels like it’s going to beat out of my chest when I think about normal, every day things - cleaning, grocery shopping, going to work. I even took a pregnancy test because this is soooo unlike me. Then it hit me today that maybe it’s the hormones from weaning. Idk what to do. We have tricare so it takes forever to get an appointment with my PCM but I guess I should try to be seen. Is this normal or common at all?

I’m so tired of these influencers with babies/small children getting on IG just to complain about how tired they are and how horribly they’ve been sleeping because of their children. It is so insanely tone deaf to moms (and dads!!) who have normal jobs and no help. They are at home talking to their phone all day and getting paid ridiculous amounts of money to do it. They have nannies and chefs and house keepers and assistants. It’s not “relatable.” It’s insulting. Signed, a new mom/military spouse living 10 hours away from family and friends

I have to look away every time she’s wearing her newborn in a carrier. I’m no expert in baby wearing but the baby’s whole head and face being covered is so scary.

My 9.5 month old is teething so badly. He has 2 bottom teeth and his two top teeth are so close I’m convinced every day is the day they’re going to pop through because I see them so close to the surface. We are on day 3 of giving Motrin at bedtime and it really seems to help but my mom guilt is setting in that we are giving him too much medicine. He gets the recommended dose of course but idk I’m nervous.

I miss being a chroll so can someone invite me back to the Smellie & Cohn page 🫶🏼 I got a new phone and have no idea what my old Reddit login is so I’m starting over and I miss my nightly entertainment. Thank you (to the fullest extent of the law, yall)
