12 week injections advice?

My LG has her 12 week injections tomorrow. I feel like she's only just settled from her 8 weeks. Are these injections worse, do I have to mentally prepare myself for a shift in behaviour and sleep pattern change?

They aren’t supposed to be bad but my LO came down with fever the next day. It’s rare but can happen. Have calpol as a backup but they don’t advise you to give it as a precaution like they do with the 8 weeks jabs. Hope it goes ok xx

The second ones are more gentle as they don’t give them the men b this time around, and that’s the one that causes the fever. We’ve just had the 16 week ones and she was definitely the best after the 12 week ones. Hope yours go ok tomorrow xx

We found the 12 week ones better than 8 weeks, she was still unsettled and had to have calpol but no temp and was back to normal by the following evening😊

Had a fever for 3 hours, and sore legs, gave her calpol and she was fine, think they just made her a bit more sleepy x

12 week were better. She still screamed blue murder but had no temp and was back to her giggly self that evening. She did have a bit of diarrhoea for a couple of days after but was well in herself x

12 weeks are so much better! My little one was absolutely fine with these ones however really struggled with her 8 week ones!
Hopefully your little one is okay too🫶🏽

Thank you everyone, that's put rest to my mind as her sleep routine went out the window with her 8 weeks ones and she was soo miserable for about 2 weeks after too. She's only just recovered from them 🤣

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
