Second jabs

Has anyone else’s baby been worse after their 12 week jabs?

After his first he was fine - just super sleepy! But since having his second jabs yesterday morning he has screamed/cried almost non-stop except for short sleeping bursts and feeding. He has had calpol and does not have a temperature.

Hopefully this passes soon.

Yes!! We had them last Weds and only yesterday and today is she starting to seem herself again! Also this heat isn't helping either. Hope it passes soon for you x

oh no 🥺 how did you help her? Thank you x

I just let her sleep, lots of cuddles and contact naps. We've had lots of tears and screaming which is so unlike her. It was like she was hungry but didn't want to feed because she had a poorly stomach which made her cry and being tired too made her cry even more 😅 it will definitely pass!! X

Yes and it lasted for a few days for us I'm sorry to say x

Oh no. Ours is tomorrow x

Omg yes!!! I think cause they are that bit older maybe they feel pain more and discomfort

2nd round was better, he was fussy so gave him Calpol and temperature didn’t last long too.

Rory seems much more himself today, phew! Hope your babies are all okay x

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

I feel like just a milk cow

Hi I have a 16 day old via c section, I'm a FTM never having been around babies before as I am the youngest of my household and from a small family. My husband is fantastic with our little one. But ever since I've had the baby I just feel like the only thing I'm good for is producing milk. I feel disconnected from my husband like the only reason he's around is because am producing milk. We were having some issues before the baby and we're struggling it took a while to feel like he was onboard even though he said he was from the moment we found out. I dunno if I'm feeling like a spear part because I'm lacking confidence with baby or because I feel like he wouldn't mind being a single dad. Is this postpartum hormones or something else?

How long did it take for your child’s circumcision to heal and you could give him a bath?

I’ve just been wiping him down with a fiber wash cloth but I just wanted to know from others experience on how long it took
