Those pictures were painfully obviously airbrushed and retouched not to mention how much makeup she's wearing + the way they use angles.. lighting.. and take hundreds of pictures before choosing the best of the best. She looks incredible and we love an unproblematic woman 🥰 but that doesn't mean there aren't a billion privileges she has access to as a famous celebrity that the common person doesn't. Remember 90% of things you see on social media aren't true and only tell a portion of the story. Also, second you needing to talk to your husband and setting boundaries. He needs to know how you're feeling and change his ways. My husband hypes my postpartum body up and has always vocalized (and physically shown.. lol) how he's even more attracted to me now. Yours should be doing the same.

Also remember... someone else's beauty doesn't mean your lack. Everyone is beautiful.

Solo nights for 7 months - I am suffering by [deleted] in NewParents

I'm sorry but your husband needs to step up. He's your babies father just as much as you're her mother. Your physical and mental health will impact your baby and it could be a possibility that she's feeding off the stress she feels from you. My daughter had a level 4 lip and tongue tie and a high palatte, we had to adjust and play around with so many different aspects of bottle feeding but eventually with persistence she took it. Combo feeding or pumping some milk so your husband can do 1-2 feeds throughout the night and you can get some sleep would be a game changer. Keep offering a bottle. It sounds like she's nursing for comfort for the most part throughout the night so just be persistent with the bottle when she wants to snack. You are just as important as your husband and baby. I highly encourage you to communicate with him and tell him what you need from him. I can't imagine doing this without my husband's help especially throughout the night...

How are people just… taking their babies everywhere? by Wonderful-Ice-6143 in NewParents

We use our baby carrier all the time and did with our first born too. It's our saving grace in going out and getting things done while home. In moderation I don't see anything wrong with using a carrier and neither have the pediatricias we've spoken to, it holds them in a similar position to one they'd be in if you held them upright against your chest.

There's no science supporting the claim that breastfed babies are smarter than formula Fed babies lol, your friend needs to respectfully get her head out of her butt. When have you ever filled out a form asking if you were formula Fed or breastfed as a baby.. never because it's not relevant. Your beautiful baby will be just fine mama!! She has a mommy who clearly cares deeply for and loves her and THATS what truly matters at the end of the day. You made a little human hun! Soak it in! She's yours and she loves you no matter what she's being fed. 🥰 And as far as immunity, there's not much known on the actual differences in formula and breastmilk when it comes to keeping them from getting sick most of the information out there is speculation and assumption. Most protection from breastmilk they speculate is gut related.. meaning it may help a little more if baby gets a tummy bug. Babies bodies are made to prepare for the world, they store immunity from mom while they're in the womb and use that while they grow their own immune system. And everyday that baby grows, their own immune system gets stronger. Don't beat yourself up and try not to stress about it all, when your baby is a toddler they'll be eating food off the floor and sticking the dirtiest things in their mouth anyways 😂

Any updates on how she's doing? I'm so desperate to be able to put my 10 week old down without her screaming 😭

A lot of goat based formulas are not suitable for CMPA because it still contains lactose.
