It is important - NHS complaint

Mammas, always write a complaint and I can assure you things improve and you will be taken seriously after that.
It is important to mention a record of events such as dates, names, what you have asked already, what you have been told, outcomes. Etc.
If you need more help, citizens advice bureau has formats and guidance on how to write a complaint.

Health professional fobbed you off... Complain.

GP doesn't prescribe enough formula... Complain.

GP doesn't give referral to dietitian... Complain

Dietitian removes formula even when you disagree or have concerns about your babies weight or growth... Complain

You baby is getting one year old and you never heard about the dietitian... Complain

This is the way to improve services.

I’m thinking of complaining tbh. The gp’s tried taking my boy off neocate saying he can have normal oat milk now (he’s only 9 months old so I know that’s bs as the dietician said not before 1). They then half assed his prescription for it and only “allowed” 4 tins over two weeks. Usually they prescribe 6 tins to last that long so now we’re really short on formula and they won’t rush an emergency prescription again (2nd time they’ve done this since I’ve switched docs after moving).

As far as nhs goes, my boys been waiting for a cardiology appointment & scan that was meant to be done before 6 months as they said if the issue is still present he’ll need surgery asap…his circulation is worsening but no one is listening to me. The paediatric nurse I spoke to the week went “your first?”. I nodded. She replied “yeah, you can tell”.

Like wtf 🙄 xx

both can do it, but GPs avoid making referrals.
Yes, you can check with your GP or ask for another HV to check.

Who do you complain to? My surgery is so useless, i doubt they'd even take notice if I complained directly to them

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.
