Peds

What do you tell your child's pediatrician? I know my daughter's doc strongly encouraged not bed sharing, because of safety. Which I very much respect and worry about and try to be aware and keep it as safe as possible. I would just room share but she won't sleep and she's too young to sleep train (plus I want her to feel emotionally secure). They tell me the usual of how to calm babies but it doesn't work. Anyway her next appointment is tomorrow and we've been working on getting her used to the bassinet, but she's still not in it without crying (and then being taken out) for more than 20 mins, at best. And then she's in our bed. Any thoughts, thank you.

Am I wrong for telling my friend I think he should get tested for STDs after what he told me about his girlfriend?

Last week he told me that his girlfriend was sick and throwing up. And then he told me again today that she felt sick again and that she thinks it is a stomach bug. I asked him if she was pregnant and he says "No she got her tubes tied." I told him "it is still possible to get pregnant after that but it is rare. And if she is then it is probably an ectopic pregnancy." She has a history of being on drugs but he says she stopped years ago and she still smokes weed even though she stopped the other studf. And they have cheated on each other before but I don't know how far they went when they cheated. I asked him if she has any STDs and he said no. I said "well people who do heavy drugs have a higher chance of having an std and stds can weaken the immune system." I told him "If its not an std then maybe it is a hang over." If she keeps getting sick a lot then I think it is more than just a stomach bug. Either she is back on drugs and having hang overs or she has an STD or some other kind of illness. He himself has also been sick several times during their relationship but he keeps claiming that it is from stress. Also, her symptoms sound worse than his. They also fight a lot. Their relationship is very toxic.

Pampers nappies

Laugh if you like, I don’t know what’s right and what’s wrong! 🤣
So my mum mentioned that pampers used to do boy nappies and girl nappies. Is this true?

We went to Asda today and they have size 5 with a boy on the packaging, then a size 5+ with a girl on it. (Might be the other way round) but doesn’t actually say it.

We only started talking about this as now my boy is rolling, when he poo’s it’s going to the front of his nappy.

Thoughts?
Ps. Thanks 👀

Breastfeeding mamas

Any tips for eating enough while breastfeeding?

I feel like I’m constantly hungry but somehow not managing to eat enough throughout the day/I don’t know what I should be eating and then end up snacking. I’m also back running 3 times a week so thinking I need to up my calories again.
