does this look like a lip tie?

having some issues feeding so wondering if it could be that

Vaccines

First baby and just want to kinda hear other mums opinions based on this.. I have family who have kids who later have autism and other stuff and they believe it’s linked to the vaccines given… I’ve done my own personal research but still in two minds about it all.

Someone just kissed my baby’s face

My FIL just kissed my baby’s face. It’s the 4th time he’s seen my baby, so I didn’t think to list out all the rules again. We got him to stop, but I’m freaking out. I felt like I was having a panic attack ( I feel better now but I’m still really worried about my baby). I contacted my pediatricians office, but they are closed so I won’t hear back until tomorrow. My husband told me that I’m over reacting … I don’t know if anyone has had this happen to them? Am I overreacting?

Emergency. Need help from some tenured mommas!!

Baby has a 2nd degree tongue tie and a good lip tie to boot. She seems to be feeding well- anyone have positive results fixing it with Chiropractor alone?
She’s down 5 oz from birth, not an actual emergency and she’s still within her 10%. But it makes me pressured to go ahead and see a specialist to have her lip and or tongue tie clipped to make sure she’s getting all the feed she can. The procedure is expensive out of pocket- but more worried about doing what’s best

Colic/tongue tie

Bubba is 7 weeks and I've been told he has possible tongue tie but holds alot of tension in his jaw. We're trying exercise currently to loosen him jar but I think his taking in air when feeding and its causing so many problems with wind. Any advice would be great x

Vaccination

Anyone on here decided not to get their baby vaccinated ? Baby almost 14week and hasn’t be vaccinated yet.

Maybe TMI but igh

This may be TMI idk. But I'm tired of feeling like I have to poop. I'm 27 weeks today, I have this non stop feeling of having to poop. Like it's ready but as soon as I sit down, nothing. Nothing will come out. I push and nothing. Every once and a while I may get the smallest pebble. But then I lay back down and boom sensation is back. Is anyone else having this issue?

Vaccines in heat wave

My little one is due his 16 week vaccines on Thursday when it says it’s going to be 34 degrees. I’m petrified of him having them in that heat as I am a heath anxiety sufferer but when I called the GP to move it they said they don’t have any available appointments for at least 4 weeks so now I’m really stuck on what to do.. help please 🥲

Getting a haircut when exclusively breastfeeding

So I'm a new Mum and I am DESPERATE for a haircut. I was meant to get one before my baby was born but baby decided to make an early appearance. My hair is now 2 months overdue for a cut and it really shows 😭 I've been struggling with my appearance since having a baby and I feel anxious about going out. Does anyone have any tips on how to handle a hair appointment with a baby and breastfeeding?

First Aid Course

Hi! I have an 18 month old and it crossed my mind to do a first aid course (ideally online) hopefully in the unlikely event I ever need the knowledge. Has anybody got any recommendations?
