Cleft lip diagnosis

Baby been diagnosed with complete unilateral cleft lip. Absolutely devestated, can't really get my head round it.

Also don't know the gender so instead of thinking about that when it's born, it'll all be about its face.

Anyone in the same position?

So sorry to hear this, it must be incredibly hard to process. In case it’s of some help and reassurance for you, the Two New Mums podcast cover this in their 20 week scan episode as one of the hosts had the same ❤️

Firstly just to say, I’m sorry this must have been an extremely hard thing to hear.

But also to chime in and say that there are wonderful surgeries now.

One of my most beautiful female friends has a scar from a cleft lip and it only makes her more unique. Also Joaquin Phoenix ♥️

Question for the newborn mamas!

My 2 month old coughs and chokes in between feeds recently. It will come on randomly. Sometimes it’s scary! I think it’s because of reflux but I can’t be sure. He also has been salivating a lot more so he’s got a build up of that. Any ideas/ tips tricks to help?

Daily bath time?

Are there any mums who are bathing their babies daily? My daughters 7 weeks old and I’m only bathing her 2/3 times a week as recommended by my midwife but I feel it helps soothe her tummy as well as relaxes her before bedtime and I’m wondering if I should add more baths into our routine!

Sleeping at Night

I gave birth on 31st March. FTM struggling, my baby hates being put down, hates the next to me crib. We’ve tried swaddling, sleep bags, white noise, any advice I would be so grateful. I haven’t had much sleep since giving birth so grateful for any tips

Developmental leap? Sleep regression? HELP

My baby turned 1yo a couple days ago and she started screaming bloody murder before every nap and bedtime. Like, her screams are scary and loud. It doesn’t necessarily last, but it can be long (20-30 minutes). She doesn’t settle easily and refuses categorically to be put down…I am about to lose my damn mind. Is someone else going through this? Did you experience this? Please help 😭
