18 weeks pp update ymmv

i’m 18 wks postpartum now and still trying to figure some things out. wren is 4 months old and getting into everything. my milk supply has been up and down, but i’ve noticed it’s been more consistent since i started tracking my water intake. i’m drinking at least 8 cups a day and it seems to be helping.

my 2nd degree tear is still a bit sore, but it’s getting better. i’ve been doing some light exercises to help with the healing process. my dh has been really supportive, but my mil keeps offering parenting tips i didn’t ask for. it’s getting a bit frustrating.

has anyone else dealt w/ this? how do you handle it without being rude?
