The end her body twitches

I didn’t notice my little boy doing this, he’s almost 3 now. Would definitely check in with a doctor, it’s probably normal but still worth checking in xx

I would seek advice from a doctor. Not to concern you but the cause could be many things including spasms and mini seizures etc or could just be nothing to worry about. But keep these videos and show them to a professional x

Going through the same thing with our LG right now and been referred to doctor at hospital, get it checked but so far we’ve been told it’s probably developmental. You’re not on your own going through this ❤️

Thank you so much everyone I will definitely make an appointment tomorrow for the gp xx

Keep a record of when, where and any triggers and take as many videos as you can. Hopefully it is development x

I definitely will, it seems to be when she’s tired she does it most, hopefully it’s development🤞🏼 I hope everything goes well with your little girl x

yeah exactly the same, tired or over excited.
Thankyou xx

yes exactly the same as my little girl, I’m really hoping it’s nothing serious😢xx

me too! We’ve been holding off on putting her in her own room etc because of it x

my little girl still sleeps in my room in her cot so I won’t be putting her in her own room any time soon x

This is a post I posted earlier, https://peanut.app.link/A8Ejy4IX1Gb about the same thing x

I was going to say don't let the doctors fob you off. If it were spasms it's a medical emergency, equally so is a seizure in a baby with no diagnose of epilepsy. Recurring episodes can affect development etc. @Phoebe I saw you said up to 20x a day?? Have they completed an EEG?? X

I wouldn't panic, babies do really weird things!! Make a GP appointment though just incase and to get the relevant testing done. Keep the videos etc to show the doctor :)

they said to me there is no point doing an EEG as it is inaccurate and 1 in 10 comes back abnormal anyway. Honestly I’m so mad at the moment as we were just fobbed off and made to feel like we are over reacting.

I'd just go to A&E if it's happening 20x a day and say this is not normal and you want a second opinion or the relevant testing whether they believe it to be inaccurate or not. I cant see the evidence for this 1 in 10 business. Some medical professionals can be so dismissive 😖 They still use EEG to diagnose epilepsy so why would they if its innacurate 😖

exactly, we are ringing up tomorrow for a second opinion. The doctor said straight away ‘is this your first child’ like we were just being over protective. X

@Phoebe Ahole!
What relevance is that?! It could happen to your first child but not consequent children and you'd still investigate it! Go to PALs and complain if they continue that way of communication x

Babies do weird shudders during developmental leaps, I learnt this with my daughter. However, if it just doesn't seem right to you then go to your doctor. I always think it's worth putting your mind at rest and getting things checked out xx

@Phoebe Hope you got on OK!
@Kia did you manage to get inx

My gp is full today, my little girl hasn’t done it today but I’m keeping a close eye on her and hopefully we will get an appointment on Monday but if there is any sudden changes over the weekend I will go straight to A&E x

no screen mums!!

are you absolutely 0 screens household? my boy is 6mo and me and my partner agreed no screens till 3yo, but I'm a sahm and showering is HARD when I'm alone, I've been thinking about recording myself singing the songs he likes and showing it to him for being able to shower.
What do you do?

Should I wake baby up to feed?

First time mum here, my baby is 2 months old today. Should I be waking her for night feeds? During the day she feeds every 2–3 hours, but at night she usually sleeps from around 11pm to about 3am, and I’ve been waking her then. Is that okay, or should I let her sleep?

Feeling guilty for co sleeping

My 6 month old has suddenly started to do abit of co sleeping in the night. She sometimes go back to her bed but alot of the time it’s out of pure exhaustion from me that I just let her sleep with me. I haven’t got any energy to be rocking her back to sleep and putting her down with possibly failing the attempt. But for some reason I feel a sense of guilt like I’m going to have problems later on if it continues. Someone put my mind at ease please?

Birthday postpartum

I’m due to give birth to our second child weeks before my birthday. My partner wants to know what I want to do but I don’t know what would be possible so soon. I already get things like facials and my hair and nails done and it’s been made clear none of those qualify as a present for my birthday 😅 I don’t know what more I could possibly do 😅 there’s no way I’m going to want to go on a day out 😂

Feel like I’m solo parenting

I’m so sick of arguing with my husband over this.

My daughter is 11 weeks old, and my husband works Monday to Friday. I look after her all day every day, and on the weekends and some evenings he goes out cycling. I don’t mind this, he gets extremely ratty and stir crazy if he doesn’t go out, and it drives me mad.

Lately. My daughter’s sleep pattern is all over the place in terms of the second stretch. She tends to go for 6 hours, then has a feed, then either goes for another 4 hours, or starts to fuss at about 5:30 am. (I realise this first stretch is a dream, please believe me I’m not complaining about that.

My husband starts work at 7 am from home, or leaves at 6 am if he’s going into the office.

This means that he comes home, feeds her once while I’m in the shower, while I handle all of the other feeds/ settling her off at night. I rarely go back to sleep after as I’m so wired. He also struggles to sleep once he’s awake, so when she fusses for her night feed, he’s up from around 4 am regardless of feeding her or not.

I see him for around 3 hours a day apart from weekends, and in that time I cook, he does the dishes and cleans the bottles. We then bath/wash LO, he feeds her, then we watch a film or show until her next feed at 9:30 pm.

He has gone up to bed early to try and get more sleep because he feels like he’s exhausted to the point of headaches. (I am too, but it seems like this isn’t as important because I don’t go to work. He acknowledges that it’s hard work looking after her all day, this isn’t the problem). I have stayed downstairs with her, because to me, disturbing a sleeping baby only to put her in a crib for 30 minutes after settling her again, to feed her and then have to restart the process is ridiculous when she’s asleep already.

I feel like I do everything. I feed and settle her every time. When he can’t calm her down within 10 minutes he passes her back despite me having her all day and him not seeing her.

I love my daughter more than anything, and my husband is lovely, I swear. It’s just a really tough time with her sleep, and I’m struggling to cope. I’m so, so tired. And he doesn’t seem to realise this, because he is. We have talked about this so many times, but it just turns into an argument. Please tell me this will pass?
