Vaccinations

Hi! I’m in Aus- I recognise it is a very niche group of people who are interested on the topic. Also aware it’s very controversial. I respect all parenting decisions and I am just trying to make the most informed decision for my baby due un July.
Any families choose not to vaccinate? I would like to connect with you further.

Argh such a personal choice , I didn't even think about it with my first she was vaccinated, then my boy had his first few and go serve eczema and allergies so I put it off as his body was already over loaded. Then I went down this incredible journey of holistic health with him and healed him naurally , so he never had any more he is 2.5 , he is super healthy and I am not worried.
Like i said it is personal .
If it hadn't triggered his eczema i may not have gone down this path.
You also dont have to get them at the age they recomend you can spread them out. The problem is now they put so many vaccines in one shot and our bodies would never naturally have more than one illness at once.

Thank you for sharing this xx

Your welcome , at the end of the day just do your research is your personal choice everyone has different beliefs and what is righr for you is right for you xxx

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? 🥲

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 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.

Did I overreact?

I have had 3 c sections, recently had a wisdom teeth removal (4) to be exact and all my mom did was visit the day BEFORE and then she only sent 1 text. She has NEVER spent one full day with me and doesn’t acknowledge my achievements much. She just isn’t there when I need her to be. She claims she’s always working but she lives like 7 minutes away! she can come help with the kids so my husband can have break? we don’t ask her for much and she only sees the kids 1-2 a month. She also didn’t visit with my last c section. I told her that she should’ve gotten the abortion when she had the chance with me because why would you have me and neglect me emotionally? To not actually give me a present father in my life. I am very angry all she does is disappoint me. She only wants to show up for certain people in the family and I just want to grab her and shake her and ask her why can’t she be a good present mother?
