Has anyone else had no changes at all on their breasts? Mine haven't changed size, my nipples haven't changed, no pain or anything, just my normal boobs

Hey Becky, I’m pretty much the same- no real change at all to be honest apart from my nipples have grown a bit bigger and a bit darker! Haven’t needed to change my bras as boobs are the same size!
Even the soreness that I had in the early weeks is gone so they just feel like my normal boobs 🙈

@Rebecca I'm glad its not just me, im hoping to breastfeed and I'm worried if they don't change inwont be able to, im sure that's just me being crazy but can't help it x

I totally feel the same, people keep telling me it doesn’t matter if they don’t grow much as it’s not related to whether you can successfully breast feed so hoping that’s right - don’t worry though, you’re definitely not being crazy and you’re not alone 😊

Hey Becky, I'm 23 weeks and I've had no change whatsoever, no growth, no nipple/areola changes, no pain, none of it! I've felt a little bit like a fraud, aha...
However I have had some milk come in, so I'm hoping that's a sign that breastfeeding is still possible!

@Rebecca so glad its not just me with them thoughts, thank you so much for sharing x

@Mim this maybe a stupid question but how do you know if you've had milk come in? Sorry first timer here and overthinking everything x

Same here, no noticeable change whatsoever. I also didn't get sore boobs in early pregnancy, which seems to be the one symptom that absolutely everybody gets. 🤷‍♀️

@Becky thanks for asking this, I'm the same. I had a breast reduction when I was 21 and was worried the lack of change was linked to that. Obvs I might not be able to still but at least other people are in the same boat!

It's so nice to no were not alone with things, thanks ladies 🥰 x

@Elizabeth I havent had any all through either, mine is through ivf and I had sore boobs through treatment but nothing at all since becoming pregnant x

8 week immunisations

My 8 week old has his first set of injections tomorrow and I’m abit nervous. Does anyone have any advice for after the jabs? I know they get a temp after so have got some calpol to give just before hand. Should I put him to bed in less clothing to make sure he doesn’t get too hot? Any tips from your experience with first set of immunisations? Am I worrying more than I need to? 😅

Of these two, which seems more overall “demanding” to you, overall? Lighthearted poll, not putting anyone down 🫶🏼

As a mum who breastfed for 3 years, I think formula feeding seems 100x harder and more demanding. I give those mamas all the credit because I could not keep up with that faff haha. I truly don’t understand why people say breastfeeding is more effort, other than the fact that no one else can do it. But personally I’d take that over endless bottle prep & cleaning.

Signs of Neurodivergent Toddler

Any moms of neurodivergent toddlers who could help me out? My son is 13 months old. I know that is technically too early for a diagnosis, but I have a gut feeling that he is on the autism spectrum.

The main sign he shows is hand leading. He does not point at all, and instead will take my hand and lead me anywhere he wants to go,
getting very frustrated if I do not follow.

He is also extremely sensitive to being touched, especially when it comes to hats and putting clothes on. He won’t let anything touch his head or face and I have to fight him to brush his teeth, comb his hair, etc.

He’s very interested in things that aren’t toys and will repeat the same behavior over and over. He can go in and out of doors or walk up and down stairs for hours. He loves taking things out of containers and putting the back in repeatedly.

We recently took him on his first vacation and he REALLY struggled with the change. He struggles with any type of transition or change in routine.

He laughs, makes eye contact, mostly responds to his name, but doesn’t do any other gestures.

Normal toddler behavior or signs of ASD? Let me know your thoughts!

4 month sleep regression

Does anyone else feel like they’re back in the newborn trenches through the 4 month sleep regression ?? 😭😭 my boy turned 4 months yesterday and the past 3 nights he’s woken up every 20-40 minutes. He does manage to get back off to sleep after I give him his dummy. It’s so strange though because his daytime naps don’t seem to be affected? He has 2 x long naps a day (around 2 hours) and a couple 30-40 minutes here and there and seems fine during them, it’s just his night time sleep! I read it can last for 6 weeks, I pray it doesn’t because I am shattered 🤣🤣

11 month old constantly standing in cot

Please tell me someone has some advice for this cause wow it’s trying. My almost 11 month old is fully on the move now and his new favourite thing is repeatedly pulling to stand in his cot. The problem is that he wears a sleep sack (mainly so his legs don’t get stuck between the bars tbh lol) so he’s not stable enough to lower himself down. So earlier he fell backwards and hit is head and now we feel like we can’t just leave him to it. Typically it’s his first full day at nursery tomorrow and my first day back at work IT’S LIKE HE KNOWS!!
Please tell me someone has some tips. Currently we are quietly placing him back on his back every time but he just keeps doing it! 🤣🤡
