Injury at school

My poor boy got injured at school today. Face first on concrete. School handled it well. One of the staff went to the ER with him until we got there. Has a huge knot on his forehead and face swollen and scratched and bloody. Poor boy

Speech

Hi everyone I am just at such a loss here. My son isn’t saying any clear words. He has been in speech therapy since he was 16 months and was of course evaluated for autism but they didn’t see any signs of autism in him so that can’t be it. He does use some gestures and understands quite a bit. His little brother is arriving in August and I’m really hoping some words will come before then. Any one else experience this with their child before 2 and then words came??

Baby hitting themselves

Hey everyone, I hate going to Google because it just makes you feel very uncomfortable afterwards. My 18 month old has recently in the past week started to hit himself on the head with his hands and sometime in our play room foam floor he will hit his head against the ground. I googled (i know your not supposed to) and it said that it can be a sign of frustration of not being able to communicate. When he would hit himself i would obviously react and grab his hands and say no sternly. I dont know if my reaction has made it worse because it has become more frequent. He sometimes will go to hit me and once has went to go bite me. Can someone give me some advice.

Nappy’s ?

How many packs of nappies should I get? I currently have 4 packs of 24 in the 1st size and 1 pack of size 2

Colic / reflux baby

Hi everyone, my little girl will be 5 weeks old tomorrow. I’m a first time mum and my girls really struggling with what we think is colic. When she was 2 weeks old she was sick while we was out and it was bright yellow and she screamed and was in so much pain so I took her to A&E and they said it was gastro colic. She went weeks without any symptoms but this last week she has been in constant pain and discomfort. She’s drinking around 5oz of cow&gate every 3-4 hours but is in pain while drinking and pain hours after the bottle. Night time she seems to be settled especially after a bath but in the day she won’t be put down. We have plenty of wet of dirty nappies and thankfully she hasn’t lost any weight. We currently use the mam anti colic bottles but have purchased the tommee tippee advanced anti colic to try and are wondering if to try her on some new milk like the Kendamil comfort? We’ve raised this issue with the health visitor but unfortunately got the “I told you breast is best” comment and got next to no advice, when we’ve spoke to the GP their response is to contact health visitor so at this point we are just going round in circles. She’s a very sicky baby and will projectile vomit all her bottle up at least once a day so feeds are very strict in the sense of keeping her upright while drinking & for at least 30 minutes after a bottle and paced feeding/ burping after so many OZs.

Any advice would be massively appreciated.

Leaky nappy advice

We use mamia nappies and have had no issue until now. We are using size 3 but she is leaking through them every night as she sleeps through the night. We’ve tried 4+ for night but they are still too big. Does anyone have any advice or any other brand that might hold more in a size 3?
