Need help

Anyone awake I'm really struggling with newborn. He's 3 days old and it's third restless night because of constant latching. Tonight is however the worst because he's not giving me any breaks at all between feeds not even a minute and I been going at it since 1am non stop my nipples are really sorry and he doesn't want to stop 😭

Oh darling I understand, my girl was the same at this stage. It does get better! Have you got nipple shields that you can use? And nipple cream too? Cluster feeding is totally normal and his way of getting your milk to come in thick and fast. The second and third nights as well are usually the ones they get extra cluster feedy and feel the most difficult. If you can try to sleep most of the day with him, you'll probably have another night like last night but it does ease I promise! And like I said use nipple shields as it will help with the pain and reduce any more damage, lansinoh cream is a life saver too.

You've got this mumma! You're doing an amazing job ā¤ļø

Formula

My baby is 11 days old, has colic and reflux 🫠😭

He’s currently on Kendamil formula (I had to stop BF for health reasons) and I just don’t think it’s doing a lot for him….

He’s on 120ml at the moment and will happily take this amount but the spit up is constant; even hours after feeding and after being upright for half hour after feeds. He’s a healthy weight and HV is happy with his progress.

He’s on infacol drops as recommended by HV but he’s still really gassy etc.

Would any of you recommend other formulas? Some people are telling me to switch to cow and gate colic others saying aptamil anti reflux 😩

Just wanna make sure if we’re going to switch formulas, that its the right one for him??????? Any recommendations welcome šŸ¤

when to change the pram?

my son only turned 3 months yesterday but he is SO nosey. he falls asleep in the car a lot so i tend to just use the car seat instead of the bassinet. but when he wakes up he cries unless i take him out and carry him. and then he’s all up in everyone’s businessšŸ˜‚ the seat unit for my pram does say it can be used from birth as it can lie flat, but i was hoping for him to be sitting up by the time i changed him over to that, and a bit bigger- he’s on the 25th centile, 12lbs 13oz as of yesterday. he holds his head up all the time now so i’m slightly less concerned in that sense. what age did everyone change their babies from the bassinet to the seat unit? and if i had him facing me would that be enough for him to still be able to look around, or would he be better off world facing? i’m just mindful that he’s still very young, but i’m a first time mum so i want to know everyone’s experiences and advice!

Arm flapping 9 mo. Old

Hey Mamas, I’m a little concerned because I scrolled through TikTok like it’s my job and I diagnose my child or more of a anxious feeling basically… But my almost 9 month old flap his arms whenever he’s excited or upset or just in general, he kind of just does it. I wanted to see if this was normal or if anyone has experienced this, and if it may be assigned for autism?? He doesn’t show or exhibit any other signs besides this one and I am nervous about it. He’s reaching every other milestone that he should be on time or early most likely early like he started crawling at six months old. Wanted to gauge opinions or if they have been in this situation.

Humping

I’m a SAHM and my son has never been exposed to anything let’s just start there. He is semi- verbal autistic and 2 years old. Whenever he gets sleepy he starts humping. Why? Anyone else?

Sleep training

Would you leave your baby alone for an hour in the middle of the day to ā€œfigure it outā€ ??

Is sleep training neglectful?

Peeing in the shower...

We have one bathroom. My husband wants to come in the bathroom, while I am actively using the toilet, and pee in the shower so he doesn't have to wait. His argument, "it goes to the same place and I turned the water on the rinse it down." I said there is still splatter and I feel thats icky. So tell me..
