Spitting up all of a sudden

For the past about 2-3 weeks my 10 week old hasn’t been wanting to finish her bottles and has been very fussy and now lately these past two days she spits up after every feed when I burp her… she has an appointment with her pediatrician later today but I want to know if this has happened to anyone else? She’s currently on Enfamil Gentlease and it was working for a while but now she’s having all these issues…

My baby is around the same age and has been experiencing the same thing! She was previously eating 5 oz bottles every time, but now she’s more fussy eating and is eating 3.5-4.5 oz most times. She’s spitting up but it’s a very very small amount so I haven’t been worried. I figured it’s just part of the growth spurt she’s going through. Also heard they could be more fussy during eating as they’re starting to move a lot more.

Would love to hear what your pediatrician says!

@Marisa the movement! That makes sense cuz my almost 9 week old is kicking and squirming like crazy during bottles. Also seems to be drinking less. Following.

Happened to me too, we changed her formula and it’s all good now! We were also using gentle ease!

Following as my one month old is going through the exact same. He’s been fine the last few weeks but now all of a sudden he is throwing up after each feed!

Hello all, my daughters pediatrician said she could have reflux and recommended that I feed her a little less each feed for now and when I told her I was feeding her ready to use formula she recommended continue with the same formula but the powder version and since then my baby has stopped spitting up all together! It’s been a night and day difference! It seems like she can digest the powder formula better than the ready to feed.

what formula did you switch her too?

love that! Thanks for the tip

we switched to the powder enfamil neuropro (the yellow one), we were using powder gentle ease before. She just started screaming every time we tried to feed her with that so I tried something else and it worked! My daughter has reflux too, we switched to the Philips avent anti colic/reflux bottles and our dr said burp her at least 3 times during each feed and she’s been good! She still has some spit up, but it’s normal compared to the massive amounts before!

Following! My baby girl is experiencing same thing! And drinks gentleease as well.

I commented with what the pediatrician recommended in a comment above 🥰

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

AITA

In the uk there is an outbreak of meningitis, in a specific area mainly. My BD has family from that area and decided to go and meet up with them, I said if he does then he cannot have contact with the kids for 7-10 days after incase he picks anything up. Am I being over dramatic? I reallyyy don’t want my young kids getting anything serious

This might rattle some people

Ok, this might get a bit long, and a bit bumpy, so get comfy and buckle up.

So about a week or 2 ago, there was a post on here regarding sleepovers. Not letting their child go to them as you can't trust who'll be at the house etc.

Now, given recent incidents in nurseries and schools, plus my own experience back in the 90s, I am more concerned about sending my child to nursery and later school than I am to a friend's house for a sleep over.

The other day a man was jailed for abusing children at the nursery he worked at. A woman has been arrested for sleeping with an underage boy and then getting pregnant by a different underage boy while on bail for the first offence.

Young girls and boys get sexually harassed and bullied when at school, not all of them. But more than you think. And not just by other kids, but by adults who we as parents are trusting to look after our kids.

A sleepover, is a more controlled environment, with only a handful of people coming into contact with your child. A school, a club etc there can be 100s of people coming into contact with your child.

I was targeted at 7 years old by the owner of a prominent private school. Thankfully, I wasn't SA'd. In year 5 of primary school, I started to develop early, I was harassed by the boys and teachers made remarks about how my uniform didn't fit right, always "adjusting it" around my chest and legs.

Years 7-9 of secondary school were hell. But it was all under the guise of "we're just messing around". A teacher twanging my exposed bra strap (none uniform day) is not "messing around".

Boys pinning me down trying to rip open my shirt to see my breasts.

I fear for my daughter. I hope she takes after my father's family, flat chested.

We need to educate all our children, what is acceptable behaviour. And to come to us, as their parents should ANYTHING happen.

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?

Car seat

No idea which car seat to get next. Please hit me with your recommendations, 1year+ (preferably rear facing or 360). Thank you 🫶🏻

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.
