Im a ftm and my LO has his 2 month appointment today getting his shots. Any advice on how to make the next couple of days easier for him? I know getting shots can be hard on babies sometimes.

We just had ours yesterday! She was fine by the time we got to our car. I hope you have the same experience! We brought a bottle to soothe her right after(maybe try that?)She got really sleepy so I made sure I had nothing else planned so I could snuggle her the rest of the day! Good luck!

We had out the other day and he cried quite I bit when he got them and was a little more fussy then normal on the way home. I gave him so Tylenol when we got home just incase he was in pain. He didn’t eat as much he was sooo tired and slept most of the day into the evening but that night he was back to normal

My baby girl got her 2 month shots yesterday, she was okay at first but later at night she became so fussy, I gave her Tylenol and she slept all night till 7am, she woke up all smiles and hype.

Add an extra bottle to her day for a while. They get dehydrated.

My baby has hers next week and I’ve been dreading it but all of these comments are making me feel so much better about it😭

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.

FTM First night home advice

Hello! FTM here and have just come home with baby. I am so tired as obviously didn’t sleep a wink in hospital. But I am SO paranoid my baby will stop breathing so I just cannot sleep I have to be able to hear her. Someone tell me I’m not going mad and it will get easier!!??

Wake Windows

Out of interest, how long are your LO's wake windows at 5 months? 🙂

Just need to vent

I think my husband and I are very much diving off a cliff toward divorce.

We’re both exhausted and that’s not helping.

Our daughter is 19 months old and for the last 5 weeks she’s refusing to sleep longer than a few hours in her cot. She wakes up sometimes after 2 hours, sometimes after 5 hours, it’s never consistent, and she then refuses to go back down in her cot. She has to be asleep on someone. It started with her having to sleep on me and hated her dad, then it moved to sleeping on either one of us, and it’s stayed that way ever since.

We’re both not only getting little sleep but we’ve been passing tonsillitis back and for to each other for months now even without being near each other.

We don’t kiss anymore or hold hands, we don’t say I love you very much or show that we do, we don’t do anything intimate… we just co exist in the same house.

I don’t know if it’s because of the constant illnesses or this sleep issue we’re having, but I don’t think we’re going to last much longer. We’re constantly snapping at each other and swearing at each other.

We don’t have time to ourselves because we don’t have a village or anyone available to babysit for us so we can’t get back on track that way.

I just feel like we had a child and everything went wrong.

We’ve only been married 2 and a half years and it’s already falling apart. I’m so disappointed but I’m also so fed up of being spoken to like absolute shit on a daily basis.

I don’t know what I want from this post. I just needed to vent and get it out because I have no friends and nobody to talk to about this stuff.

Bathing

Hey! My baby is 7 weeks old now and just wondering how many baths a week you are all doing and when to start every night? X
