Does anyone else feel they're giving their baby nurofen or calpol every night because they're always waking in pain? Its obviously her teeth that are stopping her from going back to sleep

She doesnt have any in the day as shes clearly happily distracted but at night its obviously bothering her

Yesss, for teething and now for tummy aches, feels never-ending!

Yes…teething then a cold then teething then another cold ….. forgot last night but now tonight I can’t decide if she’s better or not 🤦🏼‍♀️

Same here.

Yes same

I spoke to a friend who works in dispensing medicine for the NHS and she said as long as you're not doing more than x3 doses in 24 hrs (under ones) then it wont do them harm....i feel better for knowing this... at 12 midnight my lg woke every 10 mins so gave her some and then she was back to sleep instantly.
Hopefully it will come to a stop soon 😅❤️

That’s good, we didn’t give any again yesterday
Normally though it was 8am 2pm and 6pm so never more than 3 times 😊

Hey, so it’s okay if most nights to give calpol etc? My little one is teething and I get worried that she has too much
I only do 2-3 doses the days she needs but sometimes it seems like most nights xx

Help!!!

Am I wrong if I secide to stop doing baths etc for my little ones. We have a 3 and 1 year old. I do all the baths wake up in ams cooking etc. I dont want them to be dirty but it's like I need a break and Im tired of doing it all by myself. He will come up and help after they are out the tub every now and then and that pisses me off. Im taking care of 2 littles one by myself makes no sense. I asked him to give them baths tonight he said I worked all day what did you do...ive had the children all day. We went to church he didn't go. We all know how little ones are.. but what should I do bcus it feels like I'm going crazy

Was she wrong for ignoring us?

We celebrated Eid as well as my baby’s first birthday on Friday at my in laws house. When we were there, some family friends of my husband also came. He calls them his uncle and he came with her daughter who is 27. We have met a handful of times, and they came to our wedding as well. My husband and I have 2 kids. When his uncle and daughter came, she greeted everyone accept myself and the kids. She ignored us the entire time and when she left she didn’t say bye to us either. She was also off with my husband as well. When I asked my husband he thinks she’s behaving like this because he used to visit them almost every day and since we got married and had kids he hasn’t. Our kids are 3 and 1, and the last 2 years has been so intense. Difficult pregnancy and postpartum plus a baby with colic. Is she wrong for being rude to us like this or is it my husband’s fault ? Also why is it always the woman that gets blamed, I almost feel like she’s blaming me for him not coming to visit…

Weaning

Anyone feeling a little lost with weaning, should I be offering my 7.5 month old 3 meals a day? I don’t know by what age how much they should be eating?😩

I think half my problem as well it maybe I don’t eat the most nutritious breakfast and lunch 😂 I never cooked lunches from scratch but I also have a Velcro baby so cooking in itself is a mission

Baby rice

My baby boy is 15 weeks old, is that too early to start him on baby rice?

Solids for my 5 month old

My 5 month old doesnt seem to be filling up on milk anymore, can i give her solids? She spent all night crying but im not sure why she'll want a bottle every hour or less and im not sure whether to just start her on like a cereal in the morning..

Help please 🙏

MIL Rant

My husband and I are both working parents but I am our son’s primary parent. However, when we see or talk to my MIL and she asks questions about the baby, she only looks to my husband for answers. I love my husband and he is an excellent dad, but most of the time, he just looks at me to answer because he doesn’t know. My MIL will continue staring at my husband while I answer her question and almost act like I didn’t say anything until he repeats exactly what I just said.

She also likes to pretend she doesn’t hear me when I tell her to give me my son when he cries or when he needs changed. She’s pissed that in large group settings I prefer to hold my son and told my husband that I need to learn to share. Ma’am, he’s my baby. Not a toy.

I told my husband he should talk to her before I do because I won’t be as nice. He just keeps telling me that she means well.
