My lo had her tongue tie corrected when she was about a week old. I think it hurt me more than her (she didn't even cry!) LOL that said, the rehab for it is kinda rough, cuz you have to stick your finger in their mouth 6x a day to firmly (not too firmly, just more than you'd expect) push on the snip spot so it doesn't heal back together. My LO was a trooper tho! She'd get annoyed but never fussed or cried about it, mostly just annoyed faces, and it's like a 3 second push massage it's really not THAT bad. But she went from drinking less than 1oz in 15 minutes to a full 3oz in 15 minutes immediately following the procedure! So for us, 100% worth it!!!

We had the exact same experience as Kelsey I agree it’s totally worth it and the worst part is the rehab, but it helped him so much!

My first born had severe feeding problems and I wasn’t able to EBF him for long. From birth he screaming during nursing and would have troubles latching. I tried everything to help and got him to get a tongue tie evaluation because he wasn’t gaining much weight from breastfeeding and supplementing together. They said he had a tongue tie in the back of his tongue but he had a long tongue so it wouldn’t prohibit any speech development. They said I could get it fixed but it would be a more complicated surgery so I decided to switch him to formula and bottle feed him afterwards. Now he’s a happy healthy 16 month old!

My baby girl has it and they said if she’s not having any trouble eating it’s not necessary to get it cut

8 week immunisations

My 8 week old has his first set of injections tomorrow and I’m abit nervous. Does anyone have any advice for after the jabs? I know they get a temp after so have got some calpol to give just before hand. Should I put him to bed in less clothing to make sure he doesn’t get too hot? Any tips from your experience with first set of immunisations? Am I worrying more than I need to? 😅

11 month old constantly standing in cot

Please tell me someone has some advice for this cause wow it’s trying. My almost 11 month old is fully on the move now and his new favourite thing is repeatedly pulling to stand in his cot. The problem is that he wears a sleep sack (mainly so his legs don’t get stuck between the bars tbh lol) so he’s not stable enough to lower himself down. So earlier he fell backwards and hit is head and now we feel like we can’t just leave him to it. Typically it’s his first full day at nursery tomorrow and my first day back at work IT’S LIKE HE KNOWS!!
Please tell me someone has some tips. Currently we are quietly placing him back on his back every time but he just keeps doing it! 🤣🤡

Took 9 week old to a family party where there was loud music and she was next to the speaker for most of the time (about 3 hours). She slept through most of it. Do you think she has hearing loss from this?

Freaking out right now :(

My seven year old

Is out of control. Her dad and I share 50/50 and when she comes to my house she is so mean. And idk what to do

Struggling in the 4 month regression

How are people getting out of the 4 month regression? I’ve been looking it up and it says I need to be trying to put him down drowsy but awake but this does not work for my LO. Every time we do this he ends up being wide awake and after almost an hour of trying we have to contact nap/rock to sleep. I want to avoid rocking to sleep because now when he wakes up in the night he needs to be rocked back to sleep which he never used to need.

Nights are constantly broken because we are up 2-3 times to rock him back to sleep. Please give me your tips on how to survive this and how to get out of this!! Constantly feel like I’m failing and doing something wrong
