Wake baby?

My baby got her first set of shots this afternoon. She must be extra tired bc she's still taking her last nap of the day. It's past her wake time and I want to start her bedtime routine. Should I wake her or let her sleep it out?

Let her sleep

My baby got hers as well today and took almost a 5 hour nap this afternoon. I ended up waking her up to feed her and she was NOT happy lol. I would let her sleep

I woke mine up for feeds and the usual routine for bed but gave Tylenol because she was whimpering in pain while awake.

She ended up waking up on her own 20 mins after I posted. But yeah she's sad crying which seems like from pain so I'm gonna give her some tylenol too :(

My baby got his shots yesterday. He slept basically the whole rest of the day, only waking up for bottles. Then today he napped a total of 8 hours… he normally only naps 5 hours during the day. Make him very very sleepy too! I just let him sleep it all out

My baby also got his vaccines today. He was crying a lot in the afternoon, I gave him Tylenol but he still cried when he was awake. My recommendation is to let your baby sleep so that she is not in pain or discomfort.

Injury at school

My poor boy got injured at school today. Face first on concrete. School handled it well. One of the staff went to the ER with him until we got there. Has a huge knot on his forehead and face swollen and scratched and bloody. Poor boy

Leaky nappy advice

We use mamia nappies and have had no issue until now. We are using size 3 but she is leaking through them every night as she sleeps through the night. We’ve tried 4+ for night but they are still too big. Does anyone have any advice or any other brand that might hold more in a size 3?

Circumcision question

So my son got circumcised before leaving the hospital he’s 3 days old and they told me the day after leaving to take it off which is today and just add a lot of Vaseline to the area to help it and when we took him to his pediatrician he told us to just keep adding Vaseline on top of the gauze and it’ll fall off on its own but now I’m worried that it’ll get stuck to his skin if it sits to long. What do you feel I should do

Ms Rachel ??

How many of you are putting ms Rachel on??? I’ve just introduced it to my 8 month old and it’s like sorcery. I feel so guilty putting it on because LO don’t take his eyes off the screen, but it’s the only way I’m getting 20/30 minutes during Velcro baby stage. I’ll put it on twice a day for up to 30 mins at a time, the rest of the time we’re out the house, playing with toys or he’s with me doing jobs around the house. Should I even feel guilty?😩

Thoughts on this pram?

I’m 18 weeks pregnant and thinking of prams to get my baby. I saw this on Amazon and it seems affordable, plus the reviews are very positive about the quality of the product. Are there any mamas in the group that got this specific model? If so, how did you find it?

TBH

To be honest- I’m starting to hate that my husband gets to sleep peacefully , getting virtually uninterrupted sleep, while I’m being woken up every other moment by our 5 month old 🙃 I’m so so tired, my body hurts, and I have a little cold that won’t go away. My baby sleeps next to me and feeds on demand (it’s my fault, I know). I tried to regulate him without the boob, tonight, and he started crying. My husband tried to soothe him for less than a minute, but I took him back when I saw my husband was getting irritated by him crying. I ended up feeding him until he was mostly asleep, now he’s sleeping on my chest. I’m awake, I have to use the bathroom, and forgot to take my contacts out, and put nursing pads in, but I’m stuck. Meanwhile, my husband went back to sleep immediately 😮‍💨😤 how do people do this long term? 😩
