Unable to put baby down!

Does anyone else have a baby that will only contact nap during the day? My 11 week old will only sleep on someone if we’re at home - luckily she’s happy to sleep in the pushchair or car seat if we’re out but at home wakes the second you put her down 🫠 even if she’s in a deep, deep sleep! I see all these posts on…

Does anyone else start to cry when they start expressing themselves during a deep conversation with their SO?

I’m so annoyed at myself 🙄 I can never get my point accords fully cause I start crying. I’m such a big baby, but it’s like I literally can’t help it, the tears just fall and I lose my train of thought so it makes it hard to have those important conversations without me getting emotional, in turn I feel like the…

What do yall think?

Maybe it's just me, or the fact that i am an over protective mama bear and things tend to get on my nerves. Especially when it comes to other people.
