Doesn't stop crying!

I need advice.. My little one is 5 weeks old, but anytime he is awake he just does nothing but cry. I can't put him in bouncer, swing, anything unless he's sleeping.

He was put on Gaviscon by the dr for reflux as he was screaming taking bottles and being very sick but I'm not sure it's helping as he is so unsettled 🥺 it's breaking me to see him so upset, and I have a 3 year old that I feel has had so much screen time since this little guy came along because he just screams for hours on end.

I just don't know what's wrong with him nothing seems to settle him until he is in a deep sleep then he is fine for a few hours.

Hi lovely have you considered seeing a chiropractor or osteopath?

My wee one was put on omeprazole at 3 weeks old due to reflux. It did help us. We are still on it now and he's 6.5 months old 🥴

My little one was like this, turns out it was CMPA not reflux! Took her to a osteopath too which helped lots as she had tension in her neck so hated being on her back x

I didn't even think of that will definitely need to look into it!

My other little boy had reflux really bad and was on double dose gavison and omperazole when he was little but didn't cry this much!

did your little one have any other symptoms? As I was basically told by the dr that because he's more constipated than upset stomach (even before gaviscon) and that he doesn't have a rash etc then it couldn't be CMPA

No! Only symptom was screaming all day every day and really struggled with wind. They dismissed us for ages because she didn’t have a rash, but after 6 months put us on a trial of CMPA milk and she was a different baby after a week. Keep pushing them if things don’t improve x

Baby wearing could help a bit with reflux and being close to you he might be able to settle a bit better giving you time for your toddler as well. But would hear a second opinion for reflux. If he's constipated we used to to belly massage every night before bed, there's tons of video that show how to do it properly to help the digestive tract work properly. Good luck

It can help massively. Has done for my little one! I hear that a lot of the cat seat aversion can be due to comfort and the bodywork can help relive tension for them. How they are born can be really impactful as to how their comfort levels are and how their tension is. Lmk if you need recommendations im in glasgow x

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

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?
