Sicky baby

My baby was 2 months premature, born on 19th May (due date 19th July). Since coming home from the hospital (7th June), every 3 or 4 days she would vomit once quite significantly. I’m a first time mum and thought that’s just something that babies do. The last week or so she’s now projectile vomiting at least once a day, sometimes twice, as well as now pooping up to 6 times a day, with it sometimes really runny/watery (it used to be once a day). She is absolutely fine in herself otherwise. Does anyone else have sicky babies? This doesn’t feel like it’s normal?

I have a sicky babe, tummy time massively reduced it for us. I wonder if your babe has a tummy bug with the watery poo.. how do you feed? Gaining weight as expected?

oo that’s very interesting. She does love tummy time, I’ve just been afraid of it all coming back up, might give it a go, thank you! She’s formula fed and gaining weight week on week. One GP prescribed gaviscon, another told me to give her water…so I’m struggling to identify what’s the issue and what to do!!

Have you looked into cow milk allergy? Weirdly, you can also tell much by the smell of her poop. As normal poop for a baby apparently should smell quite sweat (don't ask as I wouldn't know what they mean by it - my girls smells like sour milk and I'm adamant something is not right but I'm not being listened to)

there is something going round my LO is 4 months and last Saturday i was in Alder Hay childrens hospital as she vommited 3 times , and has vomitted on and off this week and her stools smelt absolutely awful! when i got the hospital there was a lot of other babies in A+E all with the same symptoms , the charge nurse did inform me that the past 2 weeks they have seen a massive increase in babies with V&D she advised small feeds often and just any signs of anything abnormal i.e any rashes , not keeping any feeds down at all Mucus stools to take her back in , hope this settles for you its so frightening, she also said it could be due to the excess of sylivia as my LO is constantly drooling, eating her hands and chomping on anything she can get hold off xx

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.

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?

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.

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. 🩵
