Anyone else's LO refuse feeds when teething?

From having almost 8oz 4 times a day, plus solids, my LO is barely drinking 4oz and fussing with solids. It breaks my heart. Hopefully not too much longer. Anyone else experienced this?

Yes, I believe (and hope)he’s teething because he’s not drinking much milk and not interested in food. Also he’s biting the teat rather than drinking from the bottle

It’s been weeks for us that’s why I’m not sure if he’s teething

Who does the nighttime wake ups?

Very curious how others deal with this in their families. Much respect to all the single mums or mums who dont get proper help. I have always done it 100% on my own and am sick to death of it. Been told men just like dont wake up to cries. Yeah I get that but not a single time in a last year, surely im not crazy to think thats not right?

Dry/damaged hair on a 1 year old

Hey mommas, looking for a little advice here! My son is 15 months old, and his hair is doing this funky thing – it's wavy and curly on top and at the very ends, but the hair at the back is super dry, almost like hay, and looks kinda damaged. I did a little digging online, and it seems like it could be from friction while he's sleeping, so I'm thinking of getting some silk pillowcases. I'm wondering if anyone knows if this will get better over time, or if we'll just have to cut it off eventually? Also, any recommendations for products that might help? I'm already using hair oil every day, and that helps a little. Thanks in advance for any tips!

My 4 month old is growing 4 teeth, I’m worried she will bite my nipples off, has this happened to any of you breastfeeding mums?

She’s exclusively breastfed and it feels like it’s too soon to introduce her to solids and take the boob away. Are there any other options for me and my girl?

(6 Day Old Baby girl)

My baby girl doesn’t seem to wake up herself for any feeds, if I don’t wake her she will just sleep all day which is concerning to me. I have brought it up with community midwife who I saw on Saturday they did the checks and said baby is healthy and doing well. She has little bit of jaundice but midwife said that will go away on its own and that the more she feeds the quicker it will go. I’m a first time mum so please be kind and understanding. But I’m worried my daughter, has anyone else experienced this and what do I do?

Bathing

How often do you give your 8 week old a bath?

Daytime sleepers

Najell sleep carrier or a snuggle me? I’m conscious of the safe sleep guidelines but the najell looks hard / uncomfortable and hard to see the baby in while you’re around the house. We have mainly hard surfaces and I’m having c section! Our Swedish friends swear by the najell because you can obviously put it in and out of the pram without waking the baby, but all of our UK friends use the snuggle me and just make sure they supervise the baby in it
