irresponsible husband or am i exaggerating?

My husband and I have a beautiful 7-month-old baby, and while we both love our little one dearly, I can't help but feel like the responsibilities of parenthood are falling disproportionately on me. It seems like no matter what, I'm always the one who's on call for our baby. Whether it's feeding in the middle of the night, soothing during a meltdown, or managing the day-to-day tasks of childcare, it's like I'm the default parent. Meanwhile, my husband still seems to have the freedom to go out with friends, focus on his career, and pursue his interests without having to consider the baby. And while I'm happy that he's able to maintain some semblance of his pre-baby life, it's hard not to feel a little resentful when I'm the one who's constantly tethered to our little one's needs. I know that communication is key in any relationship, but I'm hesitant to bring this up with my husband because I don't want to create conflicts or hurt feelings. I worry that expressing my frustrations will only lead to arguments and further strain on our relationship. Has anyone else experienced similar feelings in their own journey through parenthood? How have you managed to navigate the division of roles and responsibilities with your partner without causing tension?

I feel you. It’s not like mine doesn’t help. But he’s more chilled like can watch tv or play games when I’m pumping and thus baby is with helper. For me I’ll be having a mental list of what to buy, what to plan for baby’s meals or what activities to do with baby

Scratch friend's face

Hi, parents. I'd like some guidance. Right now, my child, who is roughly 2 years and 2 months old, is in N1. Teachers have been reporting to me on a frequent basis that my child has a tendency to scratch his friend's face when he is upset. He can pronounce a few words, but some of them might not sound very clear, but he is not extremely vocal at the time. Because he was unable to articulate his emotions verbally, he reacted physically. I attempted to explain to him why that was bad, but I don't think he got the message. How do I teach him not to do that? #adviceplease #justmom #newmom #baby #Sharing_dong_Bund

At that age, the physical reaction often comes before the words can catch up, so what helped with my boy was practising a simple replacement gesture at home, like teaching him to tap his own chest or say "no" firmly instead, so his hands have somewhere to go when the feeling hits. It takes a lot of repetition and patience lah, but pairing it with lots of praise the moment he uses words or the gesture instead of scratching really does start to shift the behaviour over time.

Sleeping issue with 13 months old

Anyone here went through the same thing where baby cannot / don't want to be put down to sleep at night. When carry, cry. Don't carry also cry and cranky because do not have energy to play. At the same time when we carry to put to sleep a meltdown will start. How did you all cope? I've tried bedtime routines, soothing music, playing around on the bed but it doesnt solve the meltdown issue. Baby seems scared or hates the idea of sleeping.

My boy went through something really similar around that age, and what helped us was adjusting the timing, because sometimes the meltdown is actually a sign they're already overtired by the time we start the wind-down. It is worth trying to start the whole bedtime routine a bit earlier, maybe 30 to 45 minutes before you usually do, so you catch them before they hit that second wind or total exhaustion stage. Some kids at this age also go through a sleep regression tied to development, so it may be a phase that passes, but if it drags on you can always check in with your PD to rule out anything like teething discomfort making it worse.

I hate my postpartum body

Hey everyone, I hope you're all doing well. I wanted to reach out because I've been feeling down lately, and I could really use some support from fellow moms who might understand what I'm going through. I recently gave birth to my beautiful baby, and while I'm overjoyed to have this little bundle of love in my life, I can't help but feel incredibly unhappy with my postpartum body. I know it's normal for our bodies to change during and after pregnancy, but I'm really struggling to accept the changes I see in the mirror. Before pregnancy, I used to feel confident and comfortable in my own skin, but now I just feel self-conscious and ashamed of how my body looks. The stretch marks, the extra weight, the loose skin... it's all been really difficult for me to come to terms with. There was a short period of time when I even hated my baby for this. I felt like he's the one causing all these stress for me. I find myself comparing my body to other moms who seem to have "bounced back" so quickly after giving birth, and it only makes me feel worse about myself. I know I shouldn't be so hard on myself, but it's hard not to feel this way when society puts so much pressure on women to look a certain way, especially after having a baby. I want to be the best mom I can be for my baby, but it's hard to feel confident and empowered when I'm constantly battling negative thoughts about my appearance. Has anyone else experienced similar feelings after giving birth? How did you cope with them? I could really use some advice, encouragement, or just someone to talk to who understands what I'm going through.

Yup. I gained 18kg during pregnancy, and after giving birth, my weight didn't even drop coz of water retention. Those first few weeks were tough. I looked and felt so swollen and big. I stopped looking too closely at the mirror, coz I felt that bad. About 2 weeks later, the water came off, so at least I wasn't that round anymore. After that,breastfeeding helped reduced the weight. However, even if I went back to pre pregnancy weight, the waist didn't go back haha. I tell myself tt the shelf tt I have now helps to prop up my baby when I carry him , so that he doesn't slip down. My boobs have also sagged a lot and I am honestly quite sad, but I keep reminding myself that they have nourished and kept my baby alive and well, and to be thankful for them being able to produce milk.

Homemade rice cereal

Has anyone made rice cereal or brown rice cereal from scratch for their weaning baby? Would appreciate if you can share your recipe!

My friend and her girl did toast some white rice in a dry pan until lightly golden, then blend it into a fine powder, and store it in an airtight container. When it was time to feed her, I would just cook a small amount of the powder with water or breastmilk over low heat, stirring until it thickened into a smooth porridge. For brown rice it's the same thing, just note that it takes a little longer to cook through since the grain is coarser
