Does anyone else freeze while BFing? I'm currently in long pants and a jumper and wrapped in blankets. I'm always so cold BFing at night. And I'm in a hot climate... so weird.

I've been shivering some nights when I get up to feed the baby, too, I thought it was just me!

I'm thinking my thyroid might be playing up or I'm not used to not having so much padding to keep me warm.

He is cranky because he wants to have friends over this weekend and has asked me to limit feeding O to our bedroom so his friends "don't stare at my tits".
Wrong thing to say to a sleep deprived, cluster feeding, been juggling two kids all week alone momma bear.
He then stated he "didn't know why women get so 'precious' over having their tits out in public". Let's just say he got a very nice middle finger and fuck you in the parking lot of the mall.

He's just digging himself deeper and deeper. I said I didn't know he was so insecure that he felt threatened that "my tits being out" would jeopardise our relationship. He's going on about "other women" feeling like they have the right to commit indecent exposure and then that "other women get angry when they whip their boobs out and get stared at" and if he were to "whip his privates out" he'd be arrested. I said there's a difference between a breast feeding a child and a dick. He said there's not. I found the conversation hilariously absurd. I told him he'd just have to get over me indecently exposing myself all the time.
Seriously? I knew he was a bit backward and chauvinistic but this is ridiculous.
ETA he never once brought up these views with DS1 and we extended BF until he was 14 months.

So how does one know you're done having babies? Is anyone done after these little ones? I want more but this newborn phase is seriously turning me off and I have a great baby!

We're not sure ourselves, but we came up with a rule- we won't make any decisions until DS2 is a year. At that point, if we decide we're done, we will wait one more year to do anything permanent. With all the hormone changes and lifestyle changes of the first year, we want to make sure that we truly feel done and aren't letting the other stuff make the decision for us

I could have literally written this myself lilmonk so I don't have answers.

Our car and house can fit 2 :-) We feel pretty done, but aren't doing anything permanent.

I think at some point you just know lol that probably makes no sense! For us, we are done. There's no more space in the house and we had only planned on having one, but ended up with the twins. I feel with the four kids (one angel, three living) my family is complete now.

We are done. We can't afford another, and I'm 38. I'm also feeling very done right now. I do not like the newborn phase! Still, I'm getting an IUD instead of pushing for a more permanent option. I guess I don't want to totally close the door? 🤷🏼♀️
I don't feel done with being pregnant and having more. But I'm done with the newborn phase. Hahahaha can I send them to boarding school for the first month or so?

Big mental leaps preceded by periods of hell. Baby's sleep and mood suffer and often they just want mom- happens because they way they perceive the world is changing and they don't understand how to cope. Once it's over, they come out of a figurative fog and leap forward in their development, both mentally and physically (like rolling, crawling, walking, etc). They may not do all the stuff associated with that leap at once but the developments give them the ability to do so.
First one is at 5-6 weeks. There's an app you can get that is a good reference. I highly recommend. The theory is that the dates are based off EDD, not birth date, but that varies by kid
hpnegirl you are amazing. That sounds like EXACTLY what M is going through (especially only OK when I'm holding her) and by her EDD she would be 5.5 weeks. Is the app just called Wonder Leaps?
The wonder weeks. When I got it two years ago, it was $2.99 for iPhones.
The first leap lasts about a week, often overlaps with a growth spurt, and can also overlap with the 6-8 week peak fussiness. It's rough but hang in there. Like all things in the newborn phase, this too shall pass.

Damn, and she did just go thru a growth spurt. Joy.
Almost all babies have one at 3 weeks and 6 weeks. They're the only two I remember being predictable, so you may have already hit the growth spurt portion of the program

Aw, I'm bummed. I'd be down with joining a FB group. I know our BMB wasn't the most active, but I'd love to keep up with you ladies and your adorable babies. Not sure I'd sign up for SM, though.

FB is honestly easier, but would everyone be willing to leave and go there?
It seems uncertain on when or if this site will go black
