What is your hesitancy towards it?

No concerns at all. I plan to get it and covid in about a month. TDaP has been extensively studied and is proven safe. You're recommended to get it because of pertussis, which doesn't come as its own vaccine, so that baby is protected until they can get their first dose at 2 months old.

I dunno nervous being pregnant and side effects.. my niece dint have good experience post birth and assumptions were it could be vaccine related

Do you mind sharing her experiences just out of curiosity? I’m pregnant with my first baby and have recently received the tdap vaccine. I’ve had no side effects my midwife and family doc both recommended it. I’m nervous for when the baby is born and protecting her health. 27 weeks 💘

Yes its only because of that- she started having fits unfortunately as a 6 month old- they were gone , but caution lasted 4 yrs.

I just got it on Monday and besides a sore arm the last two days, which has now gone away, I have had zero other side effects! I would recommend getting it ☺️

I wouldn’t get any vaccines while pregnant! Not worth the risks

I’m pregnant with my third child and just got the tdap vaccine. I had it done during every pregnancy.

breastmilk provides all the protection they’ll need! Babies have no immune system function till closer to age 2 so vaccines to “help their immune system “ are
Literally pointless before then

I got it 👌

Baby clothes

Just out of curiosity, why do parents love zipper onesies?

Don’t get me wrong, I tried zipper ones it’s easy to zip in and out when putting it on the first time and taking it out, but I find it difficult when changing diapers especially when baby is asleep.

I prefer those kimono style buttons where it’s easy to button or too down button with crotch snaps.

Is everyone thinking the same or different? Lol

At this point I’m not enjoying motherhood

My 22 month old is horrendous at the moment🫣 biting, hitting, pushing, pulling and shoving not only adults but children he also wants what other children have and will just snatch it away from them.

We repeat ‘nice hands’ ‘be gentle’ ‘let’s share’ etc

But how do I make him understand what he’s doing isn’t very nice? At the end of the day I feel like I’ve just been saying his name all day and nothing else.

What can I do?

Help

My LO every feed. Drs don’t seem to think it’s a problem the whole Muslim cloth gets soaked so much I’m using towels now. I’ve tried size O teats he gets really frustrated and still spills it out :(

Dummy

My baby has had a dummy since about 2 weeks old (now 5 months) and over the course of the last month we weaned her off it during the day only for naps and night (which was fine) and then 5 days took it completely away during the day.

The first day no dummy was fine, the second bit rougher. But now it feels impossible she just moans and cries all the time it takes ages for her to go down to sleep (she’s always been an amazing sleeper)

I thought it was meant to get better as time went on not worse. I’m at my wits end I dunno what to do.

Currently typing this as she screams uncontrollably in the car and I cry with her cos I can’t do anything.

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?

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.
