One year jabs

Are they awful? 😣. Has anyone split them into 2 sessions? 4 seems like an awful lot!

I made my appointment yesterday and said I wasn’t comfortable with all 4 in one appointment and the lady on reception put a note on my booking but said that the nurses don’t like doing that and would rather do all 4 in one go 😫 I said if they have a problem they can call me. It’s not like I’m refusing the vaccines, I just want to spread them out a bit more

It wasn't nice them having all 4 in one go but its easier to get them out of the way and have them upset just the once rather than twice. Mine had his yesterday and the crying lasted approximately 30 seconds and he is right as rain today x

My son had his jabs yesterday, it wasn’t nice for him. 2 in one thigh, 1 in the other and 1 in his arm. The nurse struggled to get the second one in his leg because he was wriggling so much and tried to pull the syringe off her. He has struggled to walk around since the jab’s with being in pain. But I’m not sure I’d want to do it in two sessions and go through it all twice.

You can’t split them I’m afraid

It’s not nice seeing them so upset, but like the others have said I’d hate to do that twice and it wouldn’t be long in between either. X

Yup. Today I only allowed 2 and we will get the other two in a month. They booked us in already. I couldn’t possibly allow all 4 together

I'd just get them all out the way the actual jabs took less than 2 mins and she was fine after them and had a nap, it's the week to 10 days after that were the worse 😅🫣

My daughters wasn’t nice but ask for one in each limb she seemed to take it better and it didn’t stop her crawling or anything

It’s not nice but over within a few minutes my son had his yesterday and was fine by the time we reached home x

Not awful. I had the worst in my mind and my LO was totally fine obviously cried having 4 jabs in her legs within minutes you would of never known. No symptoms since I didn’t even have to calpol her xx

Nursery settling in sessions

My little one has just had his second settle session this morning, where I left him for an hour.
He cried for the whole hour I was away and when I collected him he was hysterical an beside himself.
Any tips on how to deal with this as a mum? It upset me so much that I started crying there.

I know it’s normal but it’s so horrible seeing him so upset.
He has another 2 hour session on Thursday x

Sleeping, not sleeping and safe sleeping…

I’m a FTM to a beautiful baby boy, who will be 3 weeks old tomorrow but sleep, or lack of sleep in this case, is a source of anguish in our house at the moment and it got me thinking about the information we are given as new mamas.

I get there are rules about safe sleeping to prevent SIDS, and I understand why we have them BUT why is other information that were given on sleeping a little contradictory to this?

1) We are told to nap when baby naps
2) We are told it’s ok if the only way baby will sleep is on us/cuddling us
3) Safe sleeping rules tell us we cannot sleep with baby on us, on a sofa or in a bed

My point is, if the only way baby will sleep is on us, how are we supposed to nap when they nap, if the safe sleeping rules tell us we can’t sleep with baby in bed or on a sofa with us?

If I’m missing something then please someone point it out for me but it seems a bit contradictory and confusing, does it not?

Sleepy newborn

Hi all,

Second time mumma here, a bit worried about how much baby is sleeping! She’s 6 days old and vastly different from my first who had a tongue tie and struggled feeding so was awake and alert a lot.

This little one is always asleep, however feeds exceptionally well (formula and breast). Anyone else’s little ones this sleepy and is it normal for this age?

Also she’s so lazy on the boobs but when a bottle comes out she guzzles. Any tips? X

Tattoos while breastfeeding…

I’m getting my daughter’s name tattooed on my forearm tomorrow, it’s only small.

I thought today whether it would affect my breastmilk and Google has very mixed messages. She’s 3 months old

What’s your opinion?

Why?

I am sick of my family telling me there’s something wrong with my baby.

She is almost 10 weeks old. She was born just under 1 month early.

She is my second child, my first born was a chilled baby. She is quite grumpy a lot of the time she does smile daily however. But she’s quite whiny and she has recently been really unsettled / fussy and been having some days where she has really bad crying episodes where she screams. For instance today she’s been fussy all day on her bottle, she did a poo mid way through one - so I stopped and placed her on her mat and noticed it had gone through the top of her nappy on to her sleep suit so I had to undress her and she literally screamed like I’ve never heard before to the point I wanted to cry! I proceeded to try and change her after picking her up to soothe her and again she screamed the place down and started sobbing. She’s quite a gassy baby she is always passing wind and has hiccups all the time also. But I am so sick of my family members telling me “she needs to be checked!” Or my mother saying “what’s wrong with her?” When she comes over and she cries. They said she’s more unsettled than settled always. And I can’t help but think why??? Is it something I’m doing? They are making me question everything and it’s making me feel like I’m heading in to a downward spiral. They make me question myself and my life. I’m just fed up.

2.5 year old behaviour

Really struggling with the tantrums, the screaming the shouting/ lashing out. Has anyone else experienced this? Does it get better? What can I do 😔
