Baby being sick a lot

Hi, my baby is almost 5 months old and has never had reflux however the last month or so she is constantly throwing up, not just spit up either like it’s a considerable amount. She’s also very fidgety during the bottle which I put down to her being nosy now I think is it something else, she grunts a lot after a bottle and seems generally uncomfortable which again has only shown up in the last month or so. I have got a dr appointment for her but wondered if anyone could help or give me any ideas on what could be wrong as my mum instinct is telling me something isn’t right xx

Babies are funny little things they literally change all the time. Eating habits, nappies, sleep, things they are interested in etc etc! Have you upped how much she is having recently? Xx

Yes a couple of days ago actually because she was finishing 6 and still wanting more so upped to 7oz xxx

It could even be that, that little bit extra could just be making her a little uncomfortable (even though she wants it!) might be worth stopping and giving her a break part way through feeding and going back to it. Obviously I don’t know if that’s the exact reason but it could be contributing xx

Our LG has been like this for the last 3/4 weeks we were told by a HV it's probably down to teething, producing more saliva and moving around more. We have been going through so many muslins/ bibs and outfits a day 🥴 Todays actually been the 1st day since it started that she's only been sick once so I'm hoping it's starting to pass x

Reflux peaks at 4 - 6 months and even if babies never suffered before, they can suddenly suffer.

My baby unfortunately has always had reflux and these are all the signs, we have baby gaviscon and anti reflux formula - it works well and we pace feed and keep her upright 20 mins after a bottle and really wind her as she gets delayed wind which ends in sickness too.

Hope it doesn’t last too long, reflux is horrible xx

I didn't know that about 4-6months I wonder if that's what's been wrong with my little one 🙈 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!

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.

I think Motherhood has made me more bitter than I realized…

This is such a ramble but I don’t know where else to put it all.

I’m four months in and I don’t really have hobbies right now. I don’t do anything for myself except maybe doomscrolling or listening to a podcast while I breastfeed my baby. I used to craft and have game nights with friends. Activities that usually are at least 2 hour stretches. Now if I have an hour free my mind immediately goes to baby, or doing something in the house for baby.

And I thought I didn’t mind. Like I knew postpartum could be very mentally consuming. But I think it’s altering how I view people around me and it’s prodding at my relationship with my husband.

He spends most of his time making food for us, looking after our dogs, playing with the baby, ect. But he still has time for his hobby. Spends maybe an hour a night on it. Even adapted to using a bot for shopping for his hobby after a certain incident where we had to have a heart to heart after he left me home alone with the baby for hours during a busy workday (I work from home) to shop for his hobby.

And yet there’s like this little green eyed monster in me that rages every time I know he’s running off to start up the bot. Even though I’m the reason he does it this way.

We took a family trip last weekend to see his best friend and their kids and let them meet the baby. He brought the laptop. He’s always brought a laptop on trips and it’s never been a problem to me before. But one night we both woke up while the baby was still asleep, and he wandered out of the room. I tried to fall back asleep but couldn’t. So I went to the kitchen to try having something warm to drink to settle me. And he was there at the table running the bot from his laptop. I flipped out at him. But there really wasn’t reason to. It’s not like I needed help with the baby and he was ignoring me. He wasn’t avoiding our friends. He was just awake and unable to sleep and found something to do with his time. Yet my snap reaction was “why the hell would you do this on a family trip?”

I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s the less complete sleep from baby’s middle of the night feed? My brain being just consumed by baby? Maybe I’m not as over that shopping incident as I thought? But I’m just so annoyed at his hobby right now. The green eyed monster thinks “you could be using that time differently” but realistically to do what exactly??? Stare at our baby in the dark???

I spent probably an hour apologizing to him after I snapped. And he’s of course hurt and frustrated because I said some very mean things in the moment.

I don’t want to be this jealous, angry person. But I also don’t know how to find time for myself in this right now outside of basic hygiene. It’s like I’ve forgotten how to be myself, even if just for an hour.

Maybe I need a therapist.

Vaccination advice

I’m really looking for advice and opinions on vaccines for my baby. I’m not against getting them but also just don’t feel like I know enough about them to make a decision just yet as I’ve had people say to me they don’t agree with them and they can cause issues etc… so I just want as much info as possible. What are everyone’s thoughts and experiences of vaccinating your child? I’m just interested to see everybody’s views (no judgement as I just want to know I’m doing the right thing) thank you x

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7
