support needed

My baby will be 10 months by the time this trip takes place August 29th. We ebf and cosleep. He will take a bottle but I stay at home with him and we are together pretty much 24/7 besides the very occasional 2-4 hour outing. He has grown almost as attached to dad in the last couple of months but...

Do you sometimes want to just stop being a parent, a spouse and a project manager for everything in your life? I want to quit everything and go away forever sometimes, leaving everyone behind. I don’t know why I’m typing it here but maybe because no one IRL would accept or understand this...

he started daycare 2.5 weeks ago and has been sick ever since. It's so bad she seems to have forgotten how to breathe through her nose even when she's cleared out. This may sound stupid but most days we have been having to clear her out multiple times a day using the aspirator or frida and I...

Hey fellow moms, I just wanted to ask your opinion, as this really made me question myself. I'm (34f) a SAHM and I have 3 children. Son A (16) son B (9) and daughter C (22 months). We don't have a TV in our living room. I am not a big fan of screen time, but the older two are allowed to play...

My eleven month old hates bedtime. She’ll start getting upset when she realizes we’ve started her bedtime routine. My husband and I go to bed when she goes to bed and she’s usually tired enough that she falls asleep nursing (she’s EBF), but not always, sometimes she tries to get bitey and I...

2.5 week old daughter and if she’s not sleeping, she’s crying. Even when she breastfeeds she frequently whines and stirs around and pulls away over and over. Won’t take a bottle, won’t take a pacifier, doesn’t like when I sit down but also doesn’t love when I’m standing. Sort of likes a swaddle...

So my 1 year old had her 12 month check up today. I was at work, but her father took her in. Not an hour later I got a text telling me the doctor thinks she had type 2 herpes and I am losing my mind. I’m spiraling. She has had a diaper rash for about a week, it started with just your typical...

Gifted testing has placed our daughter into a different school for grades 3-5 (in grade 2 now) where the teachers/curriculum are tailored to make sure she gets the most out of school. Ultimately, we are thrilled for her and understand this is great. But all the emotional items come into play...

My daughter had a pacifer and we weaned her from it around 18 months. It went super well and no tears at all. Now, she has a 6 month old baby brother who of course loves sucking on his fingers and thumb. So she recently has began sucking her thumb to mimic his behaviour (I’m assuming). At...

My baby has never been a great sleeper although he has done longer stretches lately. But recently when he wakes up he will be up for an hour or two before finally falling and staying asleep. It seems like he is tired because he will keep his eyes closed but if I try to set him in his crib he...

I’m 27 weeks with mo/di girls. Things are going well and they are measuring ahead (estimated 2.5 pounds each as of today!) My MFM seems to think we have potential to make it all the way to 37 weeks. The prospect of that is just daunting. I’m exhausted and everything hurts and I can’t imagine...

Oh my god im really nervous and scared! I went for a 5 wk scan a couple of weeks ago, I thought I was having one baby now finding out im having 2 is crazy!I went to a&e yesterday as I was bleeding severely, I thought I was having a miscarriage. Turns out my babies are healthy and fine, the...

I was severely depressed for a while for not breastfeeding. I was haunted by thought I wasn’t bonding with baby as much as other moms. Having to make my baby wait while crying for the bottle to warm killed me. I exclusively pump and while that in itself is whole other exhausting story, I slowly...

I have 5 yo single and 3yr old twins, we welcomed our triplets on the 10th of November and they are now a little over a month old I was fortunate enough to carry them for as long as I did they didn’t need any major nicu time the middle triplet needed a few extra tests but they where able to...

I’d like to know if I’m out of line here. My 8 month old baby is an extremely sensitive, high needs baby who hates car rides with a burning passion. If we’re in the car for more than 10 minutes she cries, screams, hyperventilates, even chokes on her spit and stops breathing. We also suspect she...

We’ve been cosleeping with our daughter her whole life on and off she has phases where she wants her big girl twin bed. Now that she’s getting older there’s less space even in the new king bed for all of us. She’s usually in the middle. I wear a tee shirt and pants or shorts to bed. My husband...

Bub is 5.5 months and I’m averaging 6-7 hours of broken sleep usually but not always with 1 x 3-4 hour stretch, occasionally 6 hours+. I’d just love some reassurance that he will sleep better eventually and that my body and brain will recover from the lack of sleep and be ok one day. I...

Husband and I love each other dearly and are a great team when it comes to our 14 mo. She cosleeps and wakes up rather easily if I were to leave the bed. Husband and I have 0 help from anyone, and have yet to find a person we can trust and she will accept to hire as help, so there is absolutely...

TW: possible death Just left my 18 week appointment. Baby A is beautiful and in the 26th percentile. Baby B is tiny and less than 1%. Other than the size the both look great. Our MFM doctor has referred us to a nearby hospital to discuss possible RFA…letting Baby B go for the sake of A. If...

My 3 year old son will hit, kick, slap, and bite if he’s upset. I’m sure it’s developmentally normal and within reason but when he bites, it sends me into a rage. Like I just want to slap him across the face and to be honest I’ve had to stop myself. His bites leave welts and bruises on me. He...
