Mile stones

My baby just turned 4 months today! He been rolling from belly to back since he was two months old. He holds his head up, plays with his chewing toy, laughs, makes a lots of noises. I thought he was a normal baby with some next level skills for how little he is. Lately I been having a lot of people calling him small, he is taking 4 ounces and he is about 15 pounds. Should I be concerned and talk to his pediatrician?
(He is fully breastfeed)

I just had someone ask if my baby was 10 weeks old…..😵‍💫😅
Shes 4 months as of yesterday.
She’s 13.4 pounds and pediatrician said she’s perfect!
As long as he’s hitting his milestones I think he’s perfect 🥰
You could always reach out if you’re worried. But all babies comes in different shapes and sizes!

My baby is 12lbs and also on 4oz. My pediatrician said she is fine.

My baby is 15 pounds and 5 ounces and his pediatrician said he's bigger than 77 percent of kids his age so I think your baby is more than fine darling. Don't mind people's comments

My 4 month old is 11lbs 😂 you have a beautiful baby!! People are always going to have something negative to say!

girl my daughter is 14lb and 14oz as of yesterday and her pediatrician says she right on tract with growth and everything else

Looks perfectly healthy to me! My son is 4mos and long but doesn't have the lil thigh rolls your baby does! (Super adorable, hopefully soon for us!)

You baby is perfect.Looks cute and healthy, and weight more than average for 4 month old. You are doing great mama.

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 🙂

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

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.
