Circumcision question

Hey guys! My 11wk old was circumcised at around 2 weeks and it has healed well. Does anyone notice fibres of their baby’s diaper almost wrapping around just below the head of the penis? I have to keep pulling them off when I change his diaper or bathe him and I’m concerned about them cutting off circulation ☹️ for reference we are using Huggies little snugglers. He cannot use pampers (some sort of skin sensitivity when I tried them), we tried Millie moon and rascal and friends as well and same story. Thank you!!!

Even tho my sons healed very quickly I kept his entire penis caked with Vaseline just in case anything got stuck or trapped in that area as I’m sure it’s very sensitive for a while

Have u tried ALdis or Sainsbury's own brand Yh same happened I would avoid pulling them off as that could cause more best this is to soak him 2-3x a day and when u see fibres get a wet cotton bud or pad and gently wipe off the fibre

Only Huggies brand do that, we switched to Walmart brand and it stopped

I used honest with my boys and thankfully did not have that issue except for when in the hospital they used Huggies. The circumcision should be okay and I wouldn’t worry about circulation honestly especially because he would cry if it were truly an issue.

That’s normal with most diapers. At least for us! Just make sure you’re cleaning well and removing the fibers as you see them and he should be fine!! 🫶🏼

Yup! I seriously took him to the dr because I thought my boys wasn’t healing because it looked a little rough with all the white when I would pull the skin back and she just took a baby wipe, pulled the skin back, and wiped it all off and just taught me how to properly clean it. For sure ask next time you see your pediatrician because I was CLUELESS

Huggies did the same thing ! We ended up switching to pampers swaddlers and it’s been fine ever since

Maybe do the vaseline idea suggested, we did that for about 2 weeks post surgery just to be safe. But hmm we’ve never had fibres come off our diapers I don’t think (he’s now 6 weeks), but we used huggies 3 times at the hospital and then pampers now. Maybe you could try the pampers pure or sensitive (unless you’ve tried those too).

Yes my son is 15 months and it still happens. All diapers

I am in Canada so we don’t have either of these stores!

yes all pampers were a no go for him :( we caked Vaseline on for weeks too… might be a doctors visit to ask about this issue

I’ll keep trying different brands due to his pampers sensitivity

Avatar

Yes I used a n d ointment to keep the diaper from sticking to the wound

good to know! This is what I’ve been doing but with warm water and a very soft washcloth. I’ll definitely ask his doctor. Thank you!

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.

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? 😅

Is this normal?

My 12m old is really funny with kids going near him, he’s always been this way, but anytime family’s kids sit next to him or head his way he moans or cries and moves away. He also really observes them and is never really relaxed, always looking over his shoulder. Has anyone experienced this? (He’s starting nursery properly tomorrow so hoping this helps) but is this normal?

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 🤣🤣
