We are invited to a kids party. Two books as a present is it nice idea? I will get one that the child definitely wants. Mum said is more than enough but i want to give something extra. They got plenty of cothes currently.
Our little one is currently 5 months abd the plan is to going to start nursery at 10 months so we can get the government 30 funded hours. What about diseases while being at the nursery? Any advice on how to keep little one safe from sickness and anyone with experience taking a little one under 1 at the nursery?
Did anyone had 2 children both easy going? Or is it always the case one easy going, one wild?
While pregnant I told myself that I could combine bottle with exclusively breastfeeding or use formula if I wasn't able to do it. It honestly took 1 - 1.5 months till baby learned how to latch and we have had no issues with feeding since. That's why currently breastfeeding exclusively our 5 month baby and I am reluctant using bottle as I will have a headache with sterilising. My husband suggested me to have a bit patience and at 6 months he can help with weaning. We also think it will be easier breastfeeding for our first holiday as a family. It is convenient but sometimes I do feel that I can't go anywhere alone because he might need a feed here and there. Sometimes is 2 houra sometimes he lasts 4 hours. He has long stretches of sleep and won't eat for 8 or 11 hours, so I don't complain but I still have to wake ip and express once at night. In general say to myself it won't last forever. I hope when he starts solids in a months time I can give him a sipping cup - Anyone with same experience? Hope it worked! I am invited to give a talk when he will turn six months at a conference and my husband is willing to look after him and suggested me to pop out a couple of times to feed him. He can last 4 hours in the day without food usually. I am a bit stressed going back to work for KIT days for once or twice a week in a period of 2 months when he will be 7-8 months. He will start nursery at 10 months so he wouldn't have any other option 😂
Since giving birth I dont feel sexual drive at all!! Is there something wrong with me? I do feel parenting is testing couples and it is tiring. I dont find inspiring having sex with a 5 month baby in the same room or next door...
Other factors that i think have contributed to no sex drive:
-since having natural birth I feel a bit of a shock of the whole experience of birth (it was fairly easy, and no pain relief was taken)
-exclusively breastfeeding - breasts is the last area I would like to be touched
-holding a baby - feels Iike you don't want to be touched and seek time to be left alone to feel like I got personal space
-sleep deprivation
-accumulated tiredness
-associate sex with having babies and I dont want to be pregnant anytime soon
*Note that I have recovered very well and I feel I am in shape, body back to normal appearence and I am back to exercise.
Anyone else with the same experience? I have heard other couples that had no sex since babies were born but I read comments on reddit that couples have sex soon enough but is this true??
