Get some kids Tylenol (same as baby Tylenol just less expensive) and ask your pediatrician how much she recommends to give. My baby spiked a fever and was just really drowsy after the shots

my LO was completely fine aside from having a bit of pain day of. have a thermometer to monitor for fever and some tylenol to treat the fever incase one does happen. my doctor also said that if baby does get a fever to take them to get seen by a doctor even if they’re otherwise fine. Good luck momma! Try not to stress about it I did a bunch and it’s no use you’ll get through it together ❤️

aw I’m glad yours was fine, that’s good to hear. Thanks mama 🫶🏼

My boy was fine after it he did slept for like almost 3 hours after it, but other than that nothing thank god

Mine LO got his two days ago and on the day he got it, he slept a lot. Yesterday, he didn’t really want to eat much and was up for 12 hours only with an hour nap in between. Today he’s been good, but still doesn’t like to eat as much. My doc said he would mostly likely get a fever and just to give him some Tylenol. I did once and didn’t afterwards since it is a normal reaction to vaccines since his immune system is in overdrive. His fever broke after 48 hours.

They’re grumpy for a while get some kids painkillers to keep temp down plenty of fluids and ice lollies they’ll be fine! X

Give Tylenol an hour before the appointment. It'll help with pain fever and swelling.

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!

Rapid cool/ hot shot method

Sorry if this sound stupid but how are we doing the hot shot method?
Are we boiling the kettle and letting it cool a little before adding to hot flask? Then with the cool water do you boil the kettle and leave it to cool right down before putting into another flask?
My baby brain is fried trying to work out the easiest way!

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.
