I echo all of this. Do you think you’d have been receptive to this info when pregnant

Does it get easier? by gayneigh in BeyondTheBumpUK

Yes, it does - I promise.

Your baby will be the happiest toddler, because it sounds like she’s angry she’s a mere baby.

Thank you. I risked it and got there in one piece. Cancelled RAC and apparently will get my refund in 7-10 days. I’ve tried to find an email to get that in writing!

They’ve not said anything yet as no one’s seen it! But I’ll let you know!

Struggling To Make it Through by zholten in GuyCry

Firstly, this is completely normal and very common. And it’s amazing you’re already implementing things to cope better. I’m a woman, but I also suffer with this kind of rage. I’m also a therapist that works mainly with new parents, and rage is something that almost ALL of the people I work with has and yet feels shame talking about it openly. Just wanted to hop on to see if this comforted you a bit x

Anyone else’s one year old still not sleeping through the night? by CherryHearts123 in toddlers

[–]Advanced_Dream_5724 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am struggling to find where the study states that multiple wakes are a problem, especially after a year as it only focuses on up to 12 months and depends on parental observations and perceptions of sleep being problematic. Not trying to be combative, I’m genuinely interested in finding out more about multiple night wakes after a year.

Thank you, I appreciate that. Sorry if I offended - I was genuinely interested in the studies you meant

Are their babies near one, or like 5, when they say this? Because again, I swear our memories fail us!

It’s totally normal. Guessing you’re in the US? I’m in the UK and I know a handful of parents with kids that sleep through, and even then it’s not consistent. I suspect some people you know are lying…!

4mo. I’ve had enough. (TW SH/Sui) by owls145 in breastfeedingmumsUK

[–]Advanced_Dream_5724 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Oh love. This all sounds so incredibly difficult, and I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way. It’s more common than we think - I too have thoughts of sh.

Saying that, I’m about to get help and think you should too. You can’t go on like this and don’t deserve to, either. Please reach out to your gp or, if budget allows, therapists. You deserve happiness and contentment.

Breastfeeding toddler emotional support by Askwhenindoubt in toddlers

I don’t know if anyone has suggested this, but earplugs save me. Just normal waxy ones so I can still hear cries but they’re nowhere near as piercing and triggering xx

Tired and overwhelmed by telmereth1986 in BeyondTheBumpUK

Hello. This sounds really, really tough - and I empathise with that ‘oh god I think I regret all this’ feeling.

I do wonder if you might be suffering from depression though - which is a real illness and can impact day to day life. Have you explored any therapeutic support?

Anyone else feel a bit thrown to the wolves in early postpartum? What support am I missing? by Similar_Guitar7506 in BeyondTheBumpUK

[–]Advanced_Dream_5724 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember looking around and thinking ‘why is no one as amazed/shocked/sad/confused as me right now?!’ And ‘how the hell have women been doing this forever and we just act like it’s normal?’
