I had an emergency C-section and it was just the dressing type that I was given x

I had it they just gave it to me but it was a miracle! it's a bit annoying but it does well for the wound it's typically offered to people with higher BMIs to absorb moisture from the wound and I had mine for a week x

I had it I was a trial patient at my hospital for it and I bloody loved it! I was fully healed externally in 7 days and by 12 weeks had no visible scar at all! I'm due again in a few weeks and have told them I want it again for definite. Mine did go through a lot of batteries but that was due to having a slightly faulty one 🤣 I've recommended it to everyone I know having a c section i honestly think it's why I healed so fast

I had it with my 2nd, didn't ask for it but was given it due to high bmi. Absolute life saver!x

You get it if you have certain risk factors. It reduces the risk of infection and aids healing of the wound

Blood in baby’s poo

Ladies, I’ve just changed my baby and noticed some blood on his poo and on the diaper. The poo was quite soft, not pebbly and he wasnt straining or anything like that. Anyone had anything like this before? What is it? Shall i call the GP?

Help

Hi mamas! Has anyone dealt with their baby’s hair clumping at the back of their head? I tried baby oil to loosen it but no luck so far. Any advice?

Struggling

My baby’s 5 weeks old and I am really struggling. I knew it would be hard but it’s so much harder in reality. She won’t be put down without waking up after 5 minutes. Won’t be put down at night either. I can’t do anything without doing it one handed holding her. Every night she spends hours being stressed and crying and really difficult to console, fighting sleep and nothing I do seems to help her for more than 30 seconds. I’m just putting this out there wondering if others are going through the same. It’s a lot.

Naps etc

Hi
I have 15 week old little girl and I was just wanting advice of what other people
Do about naps in the day, she is a contact Napper, is anyone else’s baby like this or do they let you put them down, or do people do naps in the next to me with a camera etc?

Just wanting to know other people in my situations routine of how many naps do they have a day, last nap time and night time routine? We was getting somewhere with sleep, up to 5 hour stretches but over last week we have gone back to 3 hourly feeds on the dot, any advice will help!

Thanks

Wake windows

My 12 week old can just about do 60mins. I've tried extending it but she gets overtired really quickly.

What's everyone else's wake windows and how many hours are your babies napping?

Is it really necessary to change the nipple flow?

Hi moms ! Is it really necessary to change the flow of the nipples ? Or I can just stay with the same one ? Also, is okay that I use the same bottles and nipples for my next baby?
