Does anyone else miss their old life?

I feel so guilty even typing this because I absolutely love being a mom, and I love my daughter more than anything. It’s not that I miss going out drinking or staying out late or anything like that.
What I miss is the freedom. Being able to just go for a walk by myself, step outside without planning everything around a baby, or make time to exercise and work out alone.
I love my daughter so much, but sometimes I feel like I exist only for her right now, and I miss feeling like me too.
Is this normal? Is it okay to love being a mom while also wanting to have time for yourself and your own identity? I just feel so guilty for even thinking it.

Post partum

Hi all I’m cleared to start working out postpartum and I used to have Ladder but I stopped it when I was pregnant. Who do you think is a good coach or is there any program you specifically recommend for a newly postpartum mom? I worked out my entire pregnancy and enjoy strength training and Core.

6 weeks work out question

Hi all what do people normally do at six weeks once they are cleared for working out? I want to get back into my routine and lose the weight but I also don’t wanna jump back into it so quickly. I’ve been walking a lot every day. I’m feeling good. But I want to build back my muscle. To give context I was doing Solid Core a few times a week running and stairmaster and strength training so I was pretty active.

Best bottles that are not Phillips or dr brown?

We’ve tried both bottles and feel the dr browns leak so much after only a few uses and she drinks too slow with the Phillips and then gets tired and never gets enough food!!! EFF from day 1. Any suggestions?
