4skin

I had my 8 week check for my newborn recently and the doctor told me I should be gently pulling his foreskin back so that it doesn’t get too tight. I haven’t been given this advice before so I haven’t been doing it for my two-year-old.

My two-year-old’s foreskin doesn’t go back over the head of his penis, It’s too tight. Is this normal? Is it because I haven’t been pulling it back regularly?

Sorry about the title, apparently I’m not allowed to say foreskin in it?

Should they be banned for life and would you as a parent press charges?

This teacher slapped a primary school student and left a red mark, however she tried to say in her statement that it was an "involuntary arm movement" 😑 I call bullshit... How can you "accidentally" have your arm outstretched, "accidentally" have an open hand and "accidentally" come into contact with a child's cheek enough to leave a red mark? But in the same interview she states that "a challenging classroom situation contributed to the incident". I'm sorry but if teaching brings you to the point of assault then you shouldn't be a teacher 🤷🏼‍♀️ so my questions are:
Should it be a lifetime ban? And would you press charges as the parent?

Carseat Recommendations

We're in the process of buying a second car. I have a 5 month old baby. We want to buy a carseat for the new car, but not sure what to go for. We plan to have a second baby at some point in the next year or two, hence don't mind paying out for another carseat. At the moment I have an avionaut pixel pro 2.0, which my baby can use until he's about 12-15 months. I don't really want to buy another newborn carseat as it seems a waste of money. I want one that reclines as we do a lot of long journeys (my commute to work is 1 hr and on the days I work, he will be coming with me as my parents live 5mins away). Any recommendations would be great! Thank you :)

husband keeps telling me to stop nursing

my daughter is 14 months and my husband has been trying to get me to quit nursing her since she was like 4 months old. it’s been taking a toll on me that he’s not being supportive, i feel like any normal partner would be happy and supportive of their wife breastfeeding their baby for this long and even planning for longer. but he’s been so terrible to me about it. he told me i just shouldn’t even nurse or next baby. why’s he so hateful about it?? he can’t even tell me what he doesn’t like about it, just says i’m going to be nursing her till she’s like 4.

Nails and haircut for little boy

Hi all.

My 4 year old son's nails and hair are in dire need of cutting, but every time we mention it to him, he has a breakdown at just the thought. He used to be really patient having his nails cut while watching a show on my phone, but now completely refuses to even let me hold his fingers out. Hair is even worse, as he just cries and cries when my husband cuts it. We took him to the hairdresser when he was younger, but he just moved around so much that she couldn't finish the cut!

Please could I get your thoughts and experiences on how to tackle this?

Hair loss

Girlies, what are you doing to help postpartum hair loss? It seems to be worse after my second pregnancy. I’m 5 months PP and it’s coming out in clumps constantly!

2 under 2

Hot take - I don’t sympathize with mothers who struggle with 2 under 2 (unless they’re parents of twins, triplets, etc.). You knew how hard it was to have a newborn yet chose to get pregnant so early on in postpartum. Now you’re struggling.. OF COURSE. Sorry but I can’t take the complaining from moms who KNEW how hard it was and CHOSE to do it again. Deal with it

Cradle cap on eyebrow 5 weeks baby

First time mum here!

Does it look bad to you ? It is also on his head.. I'm using coconut oil from Kokoso .. but the flakes are not coming off.. what are you using for the cradle cap? Any suggestions or help are welcome thanks

Breast feeding bras

Does anybody have any bras they would recommend for breast feeding? I’m currently living in SHEIN ones which are fine but wondering whether to take a jump to something a bit more expensive with potentially better support, ease and comfort. Im also a bit sceptical of the bras that claim to be anti-leak so wondering if anybody has found them to be good?
Thanks !

Is this normal??

My baby is 7 months old he has tumbles here and there as he’s learning to crawl, he acts normal but it’s like hard like his skull or something

Comforter

Anyone's babies not have a comforter? No dummy, no teddy, no snuggle. Shes 10 months and just goes to sleep in her cot at night independently after a snuggle and song with us. I feel bad and it makes me sad for her that she doesn't have a little comforter all night but she sleeps through without one and no crying ect, am I overthinking this has anyone introduced a little snuggie or anything anyway??

Is this dangerous for a 2yr old?

Wanting to upgrade from cot, my son will be coming up to 2 1/2yrs when I upgrade his bed.

I need something with storage as the room is small.

Is this safe?

Teething

What's the weirdest thing your baby has used to teeth on?

Resentment issues

I need some help, my husband is perfect for me and we really love each other but when I went through ppd and a mental break I made some really stupid/selfish seeming decisions in an attempt to help him and us which backfired horribly and now he resents me. Every time we fight it becomes 10x worse because he brings up those things I did when I was not in a good mental place- but because he’s always suffered with depression he doesn’t see it as mistakes he sees it as my own bad decisions… idk how to get through to him and it just hurts so much sometimes

Contact Naps at 6/7 months?

Girls am I the only one? My baby immediately wakes on transfer. I sometimes manage to get her in the cot to sleep for the 1st nap but otherwise it’s contact naps only. Is this normal at this age? Is it the same for you? She won’t even sleep with anyone else except me or her dad.

Cold hands when sleeping

Does anyone else’s baby’s hands feel absolutely freezing when they check them through the night/morning? Chest and everything is fine and I’m using the correct tog for the temp in the room but his hands are ice cold and I feel so guilty!
