Feeling a bit down. Motherhood is definitely not easy. How do you moms juggle a newborn and 23 month old without slacking on either one? Household duties? Baths? Teeth brush? Hair brushing? I'm kinda loosing it.
And breastfeeding on top of it all.
Any advice please!!

You just have to prioritize. Imagine having a disabled 5 yr old you have to feed and change, make sure he's comfortable propped up on his pillow not trying to get out the bed, a 1 yr old who is active as can be and wants to play all day, a 3 yr old who just wants attention and also wants to play, an 11 yr old that constantly bothers you to cook when he can fix his own food sometimes, AND a newborn...and I'm a single mom!!! Just set up a routine that helps you you got this
@gion.92 thanks for your encouraging words. It's day 7 so everything is fairly fresh.
You will be just fine I promise you! I'm on Day 4 with having all my kids with me and I can say I'm handling it better than I thought. I've cried to myself, I've had moments where I felt weak but I refuse to be stuck in postpartum depression when I have 5 little lives depending on me to keep it together. Use them as your motivation to keep pushing mama❤
@gion.92 yes, that is all true. Time like this is when women should stick together and give a helping hand.
As long as the kids have their needs met the pile of dishes can wait 😉.
It’s a huge struggle. I still feel guilty. My daughter acts out the most when I’m breastfeeding and it stresses me out but I try to make up for it when I can.
My son is normal during feedings. I just feel bad cause I dont take him out as much as before cause the baby is only a few days old. I just feel overwhelmed.
I know what I was meaning to ask y'all . Is it true that at the age of one your baby would have to switch to sippy cups because of their teeth rotting out?
The nurse told me I would have to stop Carmen from drinking out of bottles since she's has been switched to whole milk because it will start rotting out her teeth.🤔 Help me understand because either way wouldn't the whole milk still be in her mouth unless you brush her teeth ?
Omg I need to vent something weird just happened.... I'm scared because I thought it would never happen. I was in a deep sleep dreaming about ice cream and then all of a sudden I'm feeling wet spots on my neck thinking my fiancé's cat was in the room so I brushed it off. What scared me was then I felt something between my legs not bothered by it. Then all of a sudden I wake up to a twinge in my vagina only to see my fiancé is fucking me in my sleep I wake and was like scared. So I don't say noth...
Urgent debate in my house, do you brush your teeth with cold or hot water?
I'm so upset. My daughter has been scratching her head about a week. So I started washing it twice a day thinking that because I started putting gel in it that it's been drying it out. Well a week before school was out the school sent a note home saying there were children with lice. They took her ponytail down and did a head check... Today I spot the lice crawling in her head. She is hysterical. I'm black we don't usually get lice. She is bawling her eyes out. What do I do? I called my stepmom ...
Tell me if I’m being too sensitive so a few weeks ago I posted my best friend texted me about my how my brother getting a new girlfriend and him needing to fix his teeth well now she’s saying my mom is ugly and I look just like her goes on to say my daughter had really dingy teeth my nana must not have brushed them and to my four year old has to have autism because she can just tell somethings off this has all been said at separate times but it’s wearing on me
Sometimes the house is a mess when we go to bed. Sometimes it’s spotless. Usually it’s just picked up. Baby doesn’t have much hair or teeth so you have time to get in a routine. And yes the TV does go on in our house. You do not have to be perfect 💕. Kids also do not get a bath every night unless they need it, usually every other night.
