Spit up after bottles

My baby is 11 weeks and taking around 150ml every 3-4 hours. Pretty much every time he is sick after every feed and it is a fair bit and not just the once. What is normal when it comes to bringing milk back up and when should this be looked into? I’m not sure if it’s just a baby thing or something that needs addressing

How?!

Please share with me how you are able to shower during the day when it’s just you and the baby! The bouncy chair doesn’t work anymore…

2 year review?

Anyone had theirs recently and can confirm how old their little one was? I haven’t heard anything and wondering if I need to chase.

vaccines

okay guys… if you have a different opinion on this that’s okay but i’m specifically looking for moms who have the same views… i do NOT absolutely positively do not want to vaccinate my son. like what so ever but my hubby is in the military and while we can request to stay state side there is a chance that he will be required to go out of country… however the navy refuses to allow non vaccinated dependents (wife and child/children) to stay with a permanent visa they also will refuse to pay for anything of my sons in the move not only that he will be able to stay with us for 90 days at max and then be deported back to the states… he’s five months old and thankfully we are supposed to be staying in the states for at least a couple more years… however i’m terrified now… i really really do not want to vaccinate but it’s either i do that or we risk not having our son with us if we were to ever be moved out of state… i need opinions do i stand firm in my no vaccines/ delayed (we want to get a couple rsv measles things like that) but we don’t want all 22-30 of them… im really freaking out here

12 month jabs

Myles has his 12 month jabs today, I’m aware they’ve changed since my 1st borns 4 years ago. Can anyone set my expectations please and how did your babies cope?? Myles has an awful cold at the moment don’t know whether to postpone??

Hates getting dressed

My boy HATES getting dressed and I dread getting him out the bath, getting him up on the morning because he screams to the point he can’t breathe. Is this normal

Winter flu jab

Have you booked this for your LO?

What's the weirdest thing that's made you gag/heave?

I'll go first....
I took a deep breath to blow my children's food and that made me heave 🤣🤣🤣

Advice please!!!

My 1 month old HATES being burped? He’s formula fed and we pace the feeds and have a very slow flow test and is fine throughout the feed (gulps a fair bit and chokes sometimes) but it comes to burping and he gets really upset and won’t stop crying? Does anyone else experience this could it be caused by something? Is there a fix?

Hair pulling 🥴

My son has officially entered the grab anything and everything phase including my hair. I have long salt and pepper hair. I love my hair as is but my sweet baby boy is making it very tempting to cut it all off because he is just death gripping my hair. Anybody else in the same boat? Should I go for a big chop or no?
