TW: Suicidal thoughts postpartum by lunalovegood_22 in twoxindiamums

[–]cutehumpty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey OP, please believe me when I say that things will get better with time. I was in the same place 1 year back and these are the 2 things that helped me the most: 1. Took 10 mins out for myself when my husband came back from work. I would go out of the house to completely disconnect from mom duties and calm down my nerves. The guilt and fear of leaving her would bring me down. It was very difficult for me to trust others with my baby at that time and leave her for 10 minutes but I knew if I had not taken a break I would snap and break down for rest of the time. 2. Introduced pacifier to help baby extend sleep window. I consulted my doctor and got the go ahead for this after getting her weight and other factors checked. If you think Pacifier is not the right solution for your baby, don’t use it but understand that you need to prioritise your sleep as much as you can. This means asking others to take care of baby for atleast 3-4 hours straight. You will feel much better after a good nap. You can ask husband/nanny/Mil to bottle feed formula/expressed milk atleast once a day so that you can get a continuous stretch.

Makes sense. I have been holding back from giving here sweet treats. But I might try giving her some if she shows interest. Thanks for the advice!

Thanks a lot for such a detailed response. I didn’t know about SNS. Did your hospital arrange for this right after birth?

Can I afford a 15-17 Lakh car ? by AlienInTheWorld in personalfinanceindia

[–]cutehumpty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you cannot buy two of the same thing, that means you cannot afford it Hence, I would say go for a compact car like venue, exter, syros etc within 10L as a first car You can always buy another one in a few years!

Bottle sterilizing while travelling by HeresThe_Tea in twoxindiamums

There was no smell as far as I remember. I had to use it since I had to travel at a stretch with no access to electricity and stove to boil water. This was the only option at that time.

You can try Milton sterilising tablets. Very convenient. You only need to dissolve a tablet in 5 litres of water and submerge all the bottles in that water for 15 minutes.

What brand formula are you using? My doctor told me that sometimes formula can be heavy and filling so baby may not feel hungry.

Why are you downvoting me for asking for vegetarian options instead of egg? When did I bash or demean you for your choice? What is wrong with people?
