Advice please

Hello all does anyone else’s newborns suffer with reflux? I’m not sure if mine does (he’s 5 days old) but he is always bringing up little bits of milk every so often during feeding, after feeding and before feeding and he definitely looks like he gets cramps or some sort of discomfort from it, do you have any recommendations on what to do ? I do have a midwife appointment so I will ask her too

I would say speak to them as it sounds like my son's severe reflux symptoms which lead us to a milk allergy diagnosis. Any eczema you've noticed? Any poop issues (they don't know how to poop yet at that age but any solid or diarrhea poop will be a sign of something like a milk allergy). Keep him upright after every feed for 30 mins and put something under the very top of the mattress to elevate it so the acid can't come up when laying down and he mindful when doing tummy time on you that it can hurt them by pressing the belly so move them around so they aren't directly on it

thank you! I will definitely bring it up today! Just wasn’t sure if maybe it was something I was doing or not 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?

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.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!

Can someone speak on drug screening and c section?

I smoked all through my first pregnancy and tested positive didn’t have any issues a social worker came in and spoke to me and hubby and that was it but this time I’m having an elective c section and wondering did they drug test you there?
