Infant dyschezia

I’m fairly certain my 5 week old has this - it’s so horrible to watch. However, the odd thing is that it only seems to appear at night? In the day he doesn’t seem to struggle going to to the toilet.

Past nights we have dealt with one showing of it then he’s been fine sleeping. Not tonight, he just cannot settle in his crib due to it. I’ve tried everything. He is fine when I get him out of his crib and feed him. He falls asleep at the breast but when I move him the cycle starts again 😭 is anyone else dealing with this?

(Co sleeping not an option our mattress is too soft and a suffocation risk)

TIA x

My 6 week old is the same. It’s made sleeping difficult for us. I don’t know what to do either and been happening since birth! It has gotten a bit better in the last week though. Sorry to not give any advice but wanted to share solidarity x

no I appreciate that! My baby’s gotten really bad this past week :( he’s finally gone to the toilet (5am 🥲) but I’ve not had any sleep all night! It seems like I just have to ride it out 😭

Sounds a bit like he has has / reflux

You could try a reflux incline.nsometimes slightly raising the head of their bed is enough to help

Most next to me cribs have an option to set up for reflux I think

would make sense as remember when I had it it was worse at night. I will mention it to our health visitor, just feel like there’s no proper remedies :(

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

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....

Crawling

Did anyone’s little one start crawling yet? I feel like we are falling behind but really have no idea. I’m trying to introduce more floor time but it’s been rough because of having hardwood floors and our 80 lb oblivious to life dog. I got us a carpet for the living room and trying to put the dog out more when the weather allows. She sits like a pro and will roll to get the things she needs😅 but no real signs of crawling yet.

Silver cross pushchair

Has anybody had experience with the sliver cross cove or breeze? Me and my partner can’t make an agreement 😅 I like the cove but is it worth the extra money to the breeze?
