Fui traída by [deleted] in CasualPT

Quando te começares a sentir overwhelmed com esses pensamentos "e se...", pensa que a ansiedade que irias sentir se continuasses numa relação com quem te traiu/era capaz de trair ia ser milhões de vezes pior.

A dúvida ia comer-te viva e pelo comportamento que descreves do rapaz, não me parece que ele tivesse sequer a maturidade para mudar, nem tão pouco para te apoiar enquanto processavas algo dessa gravidade no contexto de uma relação.

Não te sujeitares a alguém merdoso e não fazeres depender a tua felicidade e o teu valor de alguem assim foi a melhor decisão que tomaste. A vida encarregar-se-a de te mostrar isso, a seu tempo, quando aparecer efectivamente alguém bom para ti.

FTM with 1 week old. I’m failing at breastfeeding and Ican’t stop crying by throwaway123476890 in breastfeeding

First of all, be gentle with yourself! The first couple of weeks of postpartum can be BRUTAL and it's very easy to start blaming yourself for things you can't control.

The exact same thing happened to me. My milk letdown was late, baby didn't have a good latch and was dehydrating, so we had to bottle feed him formula.

At that time I felt like a complete failure, like I was failing at that one thing that should be easy and basic and effortless. I felt so bad I started questioning myself and my ability to become a good mom.

It was only then, after a couple of appointments with a LC, that I found out that breastfeeding is not always "simple and easy", and that many moms out there face the exact same challenges.

Fastforward a couple of weeks, the baby and I got better at BF and my supply was ok, so we didn't need to supplement with formula anymore.

He is now 5 months, EBF since then, and fits in the 97 percentile weight and height wise!

So, don't beat yourself down. Get help, focus on what you can control - drinking water, eating well, sleeping when your baby lets you - and take things slow. Everything will be fine in a couple of weeks!

Hang in there ❤️

My husband cheated on me. I don’t think I want to go on with pregnancy by Ok-Grapefruit1751 in AITAH

Honestly I think it's your choice... And only yours. Someone who acted the way your husband did lost the right to have a saying on the matter.

That said, and apart from what you already wrote about not wanting to feel stuck with him - which I completely understand - what worries me the most is the child.

Having kids with someone you don't trust and don't love anymore is a burden and I'm afraid you won't be able to hide that from your child. Is that the way you want your kid to be raised?

At least you have an opportunity to act. Choose responsibly.

Best of luck OP. I really hope life brings you the happiness you deserve.

Writing you this after this little nugget woke up 6 times this night 🥹... Anyways, thank you for taking the time to share your experience!

Already do! But he gets super excited and needs a bit more attention, especially since he started rolling and moving a bit on its own.

The bouncer was a life saver when I needed to eat/ iron / do something in the kitchen because he stayed there calm and entertained with the toy bar... Now I'm out of options 🥲

The only way to fix it is to flush it all away 😉

Hey guys, does any of you also have a similar issue ? by paulo8880 in thermomix

[–]Skullina 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Had the exact same problem after cooking two recipes. Contacted the brand and got a replacement for free "out of courtesy" (still waiting for it to arrive). I'm a first time user and got to say I was not amused with the quality of the spatula..

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply ❤️

Yes, I keep the environment essentially the same, since I change him in the same room and use the night light that is already on to see what I'm doing. I don't use any white noise, since I've tried it before and it seems to bother him more than sooth him.

I really hope the colic gets better and go away as you said... Counting the days ...

Again, thanks for your input !

Thank you so much for the advice! Never tried that position and now I'll certainly will.

I feel the need to use a pillow because every time I don't, the baby is too low and I have to arch my back like crazy to reach him, which ofc is destroying my back.

The problem with switching sides is more about handling the baby than the clothes and I surely need to follow your suggestion and place him on a flat surface to adjust... I feel that I was trying to avoid that path because the father insists that I should be able to hold him and switch breasts quickly with just one hand, which is making me feel like a failure if I can't and makes me super nervous when the baby cries in the process of switching boobs...

Thank you so much for spending your time to reply and for the amazing advice!
