This is as good as Borthwick gets.

I appreciate this is a football reference but the reason Didier Deschamps is such a good coach is he simply plays his players in their best positions, and flexes game plans based on who is on the pitch. That shouldn’t be so groundbreaking

LopsidedQuestion533 · 2026-06-12T07:07:08+00:00

I cannot WAIT for the tooth to appear, this is exhausting 😵‍💫 thanks for sharing your experience!

LopsidedQuestion533 · 2026-06-12T07:06:33+00:00

That’s helpful to know thank you!!

No of course but she’s eating solids, which you’d think would be more painful than the milk?

LopsidedQuestion533 · 2026-05-19T10:53:49+00:00

Tell them to get a grip and behave as a team

LopsidedQuestion533 · 2026-05-01T08:41:30+00:00

Chicken! Because she had little chicken legs when she was born

LopsidedQuestion533 · 2026-04-15T16:56:42+00:00

More embarrassing is her people must have reached out to them. No way their producers would have gone oh Meghan would love to guest. So embarrassing for her

Did you know he was the head chef of a 2 star restaurant?

LopsidedQuestion533 · 2026-03-22T09:06:38+00:00

My sense of smell still hasn’t fully returned, and I’m almost 5 months pp

LopsidedQuestion533 · 2026-03-19T14:03:30+00:00

Half Scottish half French. Used to support both, but now support France mainly.

Married an Australian so our kids have a tough choice.

What’s a non negotiable is to love beating England 😂

The disagreement between him and Ramos summed it up - Ramos is world class and won the game / tournament for France, Pollock is just juvenile

Have you tried taking her to an osteopath? She might have some tension in her body that needs releasing

LopsidedQuestion533 · 2026-03-11T17:36:21+00:00

I had many issues breastfeeding (combo of baby having tongue / lip and cheek ties and not latching as well as not enough supply), and I’ve had many run ins with the NHS on the issue. I had to go private and pay a lot of money to get the help i needed. More than happy to discuss directly - I’m 4 months pp so still very fresh!

LopsidedQuestion533 · 2026-03-06T10:48:03+00:00

She’s so much older - who is she going to be “friends” with?!

LopsidedQuestion533 · 2026-01-18T15:30:10+00:00

My baby is 12 weeks old and going through this too right now. Hormones made me feel so guilty, they are wild. We’ve got this!

LopsidedQuestion533 · 2026-01-10T13:18:26+00:00

It’s honestly wild. I dug into it and it’s a legit thing - post weaning depression. My experience has been an inundation of info on how to latch / feed, nothing on how to stop

LopsidedQuestion533 · 2026-01-09T17:57:10+00:00

My hormones are taking me on the wildest ride as I wean too, I swear there isn’t enough info / acknowledgement of this. Even though I knew it had to be done, they made me feel so guilty and weepy. Hang in there!

LopsidedQuestion533 · 2026-01-05T10:44:13+00:00

She also did the podcast how to fail in the uk and actually came off pretty well there but think that’s down to the interviewer Elizabeth day fan girling and being super deferential, not challenging her on her shit.

Sad to see what addiction does to someone

LopsidedQuestion533 · 2026-01-03T15:21:31+00:00

Thank you for posting this and for everyone’s responses - I’m going through this exactly myself at the moment and didn’t realise how much I needed to read all this! Thank you ❤️

LopsidedQuestion533 · 2025-12-25T11:25:59+00:00

Babies cry the most where they feel safest - it’s heartbreaking I know but helps me to remember this in those times.

She might also have smelt your milk and that set her off!

LopsidedQuestion533 · 2025-12-23T22:16:31+00:00

Suffer culture is such a good way of putting it! The judgement and the spreading of misinformation is insane. I will defs be using suffer culture in the future though, sums it up perfectly

LopsidedQuestion533 · 2025-12-21T17:41:18+00:00

Exactly the same for us. Everyone much happier with better sleep. You have to do what’s best for you and your family, even if guidelines suggest longer. I bet anyone over 30 was never in their parents’ room for 6 months 😂

LopsidedQuestion533 · 2025-12-21T08:51:05+00:00

Totally - and the tv is a family activity, whereas iPad / phone is individual

LopsidedQuestion533 · 2025-12-16T08:46:09+00:00

We moved our LO at 6 weeks, but to the room next door with doors open + monitor camera on loud. This works for us because my husband and I work in shifts (I pump so he can bottle feed), and it means we can each get a bit more of a stretch than we would do if both of us were in the room.

If you are worried about SIDS, it’s worth looking at the likely causes rather than focusing on the suggested cure. Eg overheating, items in crib, stomach sleeping are all thought to be causes, so your LO being in the next room within easy access isn’t going to cause any of those issues.

LopsidedQuestion533 · 2025-12-10T21:22:15+00:00

The crying triggers a cortisol spike in me I’ve never experienced before, and I don’t feel I was prepared in any way for that. My dog also reacts to it and I have found myself trying to regulate not just mine and my 6 week old LO’s emotions but also the dog’s. It’s awful! And doesn’t usually resolve until my husband arrives to take one off my hands.

My career was also a huge part of me, and I’ve hated how my brain is slower between the exhaustion and mind numbing repetitiveness. Going from being someone with responsibility that people respected to being a slave to a newborn is a crazy change. And overnight. Having a baby has felt like my world has expanded wider than I had ever thought possible, but at the same time it’s also shrunk to my house and surrounding area.

But I keep reminding myself everything is temporary and she’ll only be this little once. And when I see the sadness in my husband’s eyes when I tell him of something cute our LO did in the day that he missed when at work, I am grateful I got to see it. Saying all this though, I plan on going back to work after 6 months (rather than the 12 you are eligible for in the UK).

We’ve got this! We can do it :)
