12 month jabs

Is anyone else dreading taking their baby for their 12 month injections. I've heard these are supposed to be the worst.
I've also been told they have 4 jabs. 2 in each leg! Is that right? If so it's going to be awful 😭

I’m also dreading it she’s got hers on the 26th 😫 yes it’s 4 injections 🥲

Yeah, my little girl had hers yesterday and I didn’t realise it was 4 of them 😭

She hated getting them done but she only really had a slight temp and was off her food yesterday and this morning (still ate just not as much)

We have her calpol last night though. Although apparently they can still get side effects uoto two weeks after x

I was dreading it, but we've been today, and so far my LG has been fine. She had one in her arm, and 3 in her legs (2 in one leg, 1 in the other)
We gave her calpol straight afterwards, and she has pretty much been her usual self. x

I’m dreading it to! Booked in end of June to 😢 x

You can ask for them to be split so they are given 1 at a time, my friend did this to stop the affects being too bad

My girl was absolutely fine. Obviously didn’t like them being done but she had no effects x

Ive heard you can ask for them to be split... I'll be doing that!

Do you get contacted by your doctor or should i be ringing to make her appointment? X

@Louise I had a message just to let me know that they were due so I booked them xx

My boy had his today and Oml I cried 🤣 it was 2 in arm 2 in leg

@Jessica My little girl had hers this afternoon and it was awful 😭 She had 2 in her right thigh, 1 in her left thigh and 1 in her arm

oh really, I thought it was 1 in each

Sounds awful 😞 x

This isnt true, trying to split the vaccine could actually potentially be harmful/ reduce effectiveness.

As horrible as it is to watch them get upset, it’s a tried and tested vaccine and absolutely worth a few tears for the benefits ❤️

Over supply of milk

I am nearly 5weeks postpartum and I have such a big over supply of BM.
Has anyone donated / sold their supply, if so where do you recommend for this?

AITA

In the uk there is an outbreak of meningitis, in a specific area mainly. My BD has family from that area and decided to go and meet up with them, I said if he does then he cannot have contact with the kids for 7-10 days after incase he picks anything up. Am I being over dramatic? I reallyyy don’t want my young kids getting anything serious

I think its fair

Me and my partner agreed to sleep in 1 day of the weekend.
He doesn't find it fair to look after both kids (my 4 year old isnt his) while i sleep so he looks after the baby while i sleep and my toddlers at his dads and ill look after both the next day.
Straightaway it was pretty unfair as i let him sleep in until he wakes up 10-12
He wakes me up when baby starts fussing because he wants milk (doesnt need it)
I cant pump as i dont supply enough.
So i get woken at 9/9:30 to feed baby then i get him sleep then theres no point sleeping in as my toddlers being dropped off.
I also find it unfair that i get both kids to sleep most night, i get my toddler to sleep everyday hes home (4/5days) and i get my baby to sleep most nights with the exception of maybe twice a month as his dad struggless then about 95% of his thru the day naps.
I have also been unwell for a few months (tumor scare) and am waiting 18 weeks to see a specialist so im obviously petrified for that, so unbelievably tired and alot of aches and pains, specifically these pounding headaches ive been having.
After i had been up til 11:30 getting both kids to sleep lastnight and my partner falling asleep at 10 then him ignoring the baby cries all morning until my toddler woke up im fed up slammed to door and rold him not to expect to sleep in unless he gets the baby to sleep the night b4.
I keep having issues with him not feeling the wet from baby being sick or weeing himself or being able to smell it do about 98% of the time hes given to me i have to clean him up n change him.
Including at night, we agreed my partner would change nappies (1 a night at 5am) while i feed (2,4,5,6:30) but every night when i get him hes pissed through and my partner gets annoyed when i wake him up n moan about it.
Then the morning after hes annoyed at how much washing there is (thats his job) and moans about how often i change myself (baby constantly shits thru and sicks on me) and baby
Honestly im just so tired all the time

Baby clothes

Just out of curiosity, why do parents love zipper onesies?

Don’t get me wrong, I tried zipper ones it’s easy to zip in and out when putting it on the first time and taking it out, but I find it difficult when changing diapers especially when baby is asleep.

I prefer those kimono style buttons where it’s easy to button or too down button with crotch snaps.

Is everyone thinking the same or different? Lol

Car seat

No idea which car seat to get next. Please hit me with your recommendations, 1year+ (preferably rear facing or 360). Thank you 🫶🏻

Sleep regression

How have you managed to navigate the 4 month sleep regression and can it start as early as 3 and a half months or 15 weeks? My baby used to sleep from 8:30-4 now is up every hour and a half.
