Baby is croaking??

I know babies generally make weird noises, especially in their sleep but this one has me worried - its a croaky sound, usually when he exhales but in the video it’s on an inhale, honestly sounds like a little frog - it’s not constant, just occasionally and he only does it in his sleep. Occasionally it goes from croaky to just a high pitched squeak. This croaking continued on and off for a few minutes before stopping and now he’s sound asleep.
Anyone else’s little ones make a noise like it? Should I get him checked at the GP just in case? He has no other symptoms apart from discomfort which is probably trapped wind as he doesn’t burp well, I can spend almost an hour trying to wind him and I’ll get nothing…
(He has been sick tonight But think it’s unrelated, I’m pretty sure he has reflux as he’ll spit up/throw up if we put him down too soon and he gets the hiccups all the time.)

Hello 👋 there, hope your well!

I have the same problem not sure if there is anything more too it as such but find it happens after feeding.

I know what you mean when it comes to winding. I definitely notice a difference. I left it once as he was sleepy, popped him down, this was on a night shift and the amount of pain afterwards, he was so distressed due to my boy being windy. It’s definitely ‘perseverance’ with the feeding and winding and so I make sure to wind him after every feed.

Our little one has hiccups a lot so I think it could be (just my thoughts) by me putting him down too quickly. I know hiccups are normal.

My cousin is a midwife and says it is. If your concerned about anything always best to check with GP for your own peace of mind and that way you know he has been seen. X

My little girl has just been put on a two week trial of alternative milk because of her breathing mainly after a bottle but intermittently throughout the day too as she has suspected cmpa.. respiratory issues can arise due to an allergy. It may not be the same thing but may be worth having a look into the other symptoms too. We only started yesterday so a lot of the symptoms are still present due to the other milks still being in her system but her breathing has improved slightly xx

My little one does this too. It was worse to begin with as he was a C section they said it will take a time for the amniotic fluid to clear from his lungs. When he is refluxy now he is the same. We were told as long as he isn't struggling to breath it is normal

Over supply of milk

I am nearly 5weeks postpartum and I have such a big over supply of BM.
Has anyone donated / sold their supply, if so where do you recommend for this?

AITA

In the uk there is an outbreak of meningitis, in a specific area mainly. My BD has family from that area and decided to go and meet up with them, I said if he does then he cannot have contact with the kids for 7-10 days after incase he picks anything up. Am I being over dramatic? I reallyyy don’t want my young kids getting anything serious

I think its fair

Me and my partner agreed to sleep in 1 day of the weekend.
He doesn't find it fair to look after both kids (my 4 year old isnt his) while i sleep so he looks after the baby while i sleep and my toddlers at his dads and ill look after both the next day.
Straightaway it was pretty unfair as i let him sleep in until he wakes up 10-12
He wakes me up when baby starts fussing because he wants milk (doesnt need it)
I cant pump as i dont supply enough.
So i get woken at 9/9:30 to feed baby then i get him sleep then theres no point sleeping in as my toddlers being dropped off.
I also find it unfair that i get both kids to sleep most night, i get my toddler to sleep everyday hes home (4/5days) and i get my baby to sleep most nights with the exception of maybe twice a month as his dad struggless then about 95% of his thru the day naps.
I have also been unwell for a few months (tumor scare) and am waiting 18 weeks to see a specialist so im obviously petrified for that, so unbelievably tired and alot of aches and pains, specifically these pounding headaches ive been having.
After i had been up til 11:30 getting both kids to sleep lastnight and my partner falling asleep at 10 then him ignoring the baby cries all morning until my toddler woke up im fed up slammed to door and rold him not to expect to sleep in unless he gets the baby to sleep the night b4.
I keep having issues with him not feeling the wet from baby being sick or weeing himself or being able to smell it do about 98% of the time hes given to me i have to clean him up n change him.
Including at night, we agreed my partner would change nappies (1 a night at 5am) while i feed (2,4,5,6:30) but every night when i get him hes pissed through and my partner gets annoyed when i wake him up n moan about it.
Then the morning after hes annoyed at how much washing there is (thats his job) and moans about how often i change myself (baby constantly shits thru and sicks on me) and baby
Honestly im just so tired all the time

Baby clothes

Just out of curiosity, why do parents love zipper onesies?

Don’t get me wrong, I tried zipper ones it’s easy to zip in and out when putting it on the first time and taking it out, but I find it difficult when changing diapers especially when baby is asleep.

I prefer those kimono style buttons where it’s easy to button or too down button with crotch snaps.

Is everyone thinking the same or different? Lol

This might rattle some people

Ok, this might get a bit long, and a bit bumpy, so get comfy and buckle up.

So about a week or 2 ago, there was a post on here regarding sleepovers. Not letting their child go to them as you can't trust who'll be at the house etc.

Now, given recent incidents in nurseries and schools, plus my own experience back in the 90s, I am more concerned about sending my child to nursery and later school than I am to a friend's house for a sleep over.

The other day a man was jailed for abusing children at the nursery he worked at. A woman has been arrested for sleeping with an underage boy and then getting pregnant by a different underage boy while on bail for the first offence.

Young girls and boys get sexually harassed and bullied when at school, not all of them. But more than you think. And not just by other kids, but by adults who we as parents are trusting to look after our kids.

A sleepover, is a more controlled environment, with only a handful of people coming into contact with your child. A school, a club etc there can be 100s of people coming into contact with your child.

I was targeted at 7 years old by the owner of a prominent private school. Thankfully, I wasn't SA'd. In year 5 of primary school, I started to develop early, I was harassed by the boys and teachers made remarks about how my uniform didn't fit right, always "adjusting it" around my chest and legs.

Years 7-9 of secondary school were hell. But it was all under the guise of "we're just messing around". A teacher twanging my exposed bra strap (none uniform day) is not "messing around".

Boys pinning me down trying to rip open my shirt to see my breasts.

I fear for my daughter. I hope she takes after my father's family, flat chested.

We need to educate all our children, what is acceptable behaviour. And to come to us, as their parents should ANYTHING happen.
