Baby’s first vaccinations

My daughter had her first injections yesterday, she’s been in agony since. I’ve just gave her a bath to get the plasters off because they were stuck onto her and wouldn’t come off, as i was bathing her i noticed how solid and swollen her legs are. is this normal ????

Swelling is normal for up to 48hrs so my Heath visitor said (my Bubba had her jabs Tuesday) x

Tenderness, heat, and swelling is normal for a few days. Keep an eye on temperature and appetite though non Looks like the Band-Aid has given her a tiny skin reaction, is she allergic to latex or anything?

not that i’m aware of. i’ve got quite sensitive myself so she could potentially take after me. im going to keep an eye on it and if nothing has changed by monday morning ill go to the doctors with her

it’s best to keep moving her legs to help with the stiffness!

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰
