2 month shots

Hi mamas, I'm wondering if y'all have any tips to help baby out with the side effects of getting her shots. Any ways I can prepare her, before or after??
Thanks! 💙

Make sure you have Tylenol ready for afterwards. If they don’t need it and are okay that’s better for them. That and going to the bar was my only savor. My town is very small and he loves the neons so they allowed him in the bar before 10pm

ok! Great, Ive got sum neons

We gave our daughter Tylenol half and hour before her appointment so it would kick in right around when she got her shots And we were consistent with it for the next couple of days let her rest as much as she wants or needs and just stay positive

Tylenol and a binky.. My boy cried for 10sec got his binky amd by the time we got back to the car he was all smiles and he only required Tylenol once. He did really well.

Our doctor prescribed Tylenol just in case she got a slight fever. But warm presses and massages is what our ped suggested!

You can give baby Tylenol 30mins before the shot to help

Is it cheating

My husband just told me that at work he and his male friends/coworkers pinch each others nipples as like a joke, I think it’s inappropriate and it’s cheating in a way and he does not agree he thinks it’s just funny and nothings wrong with it

A full 8 hours

My 1 month and five week old newborn just slept 8 hours. I genuinely don’t know who blessed me, but good lord am I thankful. We really only woke up a few times to put her binky back in her mouth. She did just got home from the NICU and adjustment was pretty hard for the past few nights, so she certainly deserves a lot of sleep. Just happy to see her feeling more comfortable.

Baby hates me?

Why does my baby hate me. All she wants from me is to be fed and then screams and screams at me, she settles with everyone else and i don't understand what im doing wrong. I feel like the worst mum ever and am really struggling.

Witching hour??

Pretty sure my 7 week old has a strict “lose all chill at 6pm” policy 😅

Evenings = crying, pacing, questioning my life choices 😂

Fed, burped, cuddled… still a bit of a mystery. Any tips from mums who survived this stage? How did you get through the evening chaos?!

Is nursery a bit out of line?

Today I learned that my son was “seen by someone” when picking him up. Apparently speech therapist saw him in the nursery to evaluate him and I only learned about it on pick up.

No warning, no even proper explanation of what triggered it. With one staff member saying “he is not speaking at all”, and another dismissing it and saying it’s completely normal.

And everyone seem to dismiss my shock as he is the most chatty happiest child at home.

So it triggers me that instead of finding a way to get him “open up” and make him feel secure so he starts speaking naturally. They now decided he needs to be “fixed” and probably push him into more anxiety with it. Without even consulting us.

Front sleeping

My baby is 9 months old and I was told a while back that the sleep should always start in there back, is this true and why?
My baby always wants to front sleep now and I’m fighting every night to get the sleep to start on his back or side
