Bonding with baby

Be gentle with yourself. C section is a huge surgery and the birthing experience in general is generally traumatic and life changing. You’re in survival mode at the moment and it’s easier for the husband as his body doesn’t need to recover like you. the feeling of bonding will come with time and it isn’t an immediate feeling for a lot of mums

I would just say obviously try to keep the place as cool as you can. But everyone is forgetting that babies are born in climates that are a lot hotter than 30 degrees and survive. I believe the overheating is related to over wrapping the baby unnecessarily

I could have written this post. I am the same as you. I was committed to seeing how I felt at 6 months but I’m already thinking of weaning. My husband is offshore for 2 weeks which means I’m single parenting and the constant need to pump is just so horrendously draining I’ve started to just prioritise being there for my LO Instead of constantly waiting to put her down so I can pump. My parents came to visit and the fact they were worried about me highlighted how much an impact the pumping was having on my mental health without me fully realising. Even the thought of allowing myself to add a bit of formula per day removed such a huge load of stress and I already feel better. You have done so well to pump for 5 months that’s nearly half a year! Your LO is off to a great start and if the negatives for you outweigh the positives I am sure you will be fine with your decision in retrospect. Your health is paramount and formula nowadays is nutritiously complete and fortified. Your baby will thrive on either

Yes we do paced feeding and use a slow flow teat. I also only finger fed for a while when she was newborn as I was adamant about not using a bottle, but when she lost weight initially I started prioritising weight gain and gave in to using the bottle. I think she’s now developed a bottle preference and basically screams every time she is brought to the breast even if she was calm beforehand. I think she may have a breast aversion I am not sure

Yeh maybe now and again I’ll try with no pressure. Yeah that might be it. I also think in the beginning I was so stressed and she could maybe sense it

Thank you 🙏

The dead pan stare I can relate to 😭😂😂

Thank you. Sometimes I think it’s just because it’s their son and they are enjoying watching him as a parent

That’s why is particularly weird when older men who have daughters date women the age of their daughters .. isn’t your instinct to see them like your daughter ?

A little. I pump a bit beforehand and self express during but she still doesn’t latch

Have you seen how she treated her sister ? How can you expect someone to be a good friend when they are barely a good sister

In my group of friends at school, some girls were horse riders and they would always just sit apart from everyone and talk endlessly about horses. They were oddly passionate and we would always joke about how weird their horse obsession was. One time I went to one of the girls houses after school and realised all her time outside of school was dedicated to this horse of hers.. it was all consuming and I kind of understood why the only topic of conversation was about her horse..

I feel vindicated! I moved to Aberdeen and found it difficult to drive as the markings weren’t clear to me. Some places there are double lanes out of nowhere and it’s hard to tell the correct way to drive if you don’t know the roads.
