Calpol after injections

Little one had his first jabs this morning, Ive given the 3 doses of calpol as advised, contemplating giving him one more before he goes to bed, how long did everyone give calpol for? Stick to the 3 doses or give one more?

Is baby showing signs of discomfort and needing calpol?
If not then I wouldn’t give another dose for no reason xx

How did your baby react to the injections? My Little girl had it today (late afternoon) and she has just been sleeping a lot and not really feeding much

We only gave the 3 doses as advised as our little one didn’t have a high temp after having all 3 doses. She was quite unsettled for a couple of days, but soon perked up.

our little girl had her jabs on Monday and she was exactly the same. Slept a lot more and didn’t drink as much milk as normal. She seems more herself today 🙂

my lo had his this morning and has just slept most of the day, but still been having the same amount of milk but not as “hungry” for it, think he just cant be bothered, hoping he gets a good nights sleep

My little boy had his jabs this morning (9:20am) he’s been really sleepy all day and needing to be on my chest, I tried to put him down for a nap in his cot but he just screamed and wanted to be back on me. He’s had 3 doses of calpol has he’s had a high temperature each time I’ve checked at the 4-6 hour mark. I’m wondering the same thing, if he wakes through the night unsettled with a temperature, am I able to give him another dose of calpol or do I have to wait for the 24 hours to pass?

hows your baby today? My boy is very clingy and crying a lot

So we’ve been up since 3am, normally he sleeps right through the night. Up until 9am he was just wanting to lay on my chest and letting out these little whimpers/screams/cries, it was heartbreaking. He was sick quite a lot. His temperature was also 38.2 but I gave him another dose of calpol @ 7am and it seems to be working. I was able to take him out for a walk in his pram without crying and he’s now fast asleep with a temperature of 36.1 so it’s coming down! I’m hoping now he’ll sleep for a while to just get through it! Have you given your little one a bath? Yesterday, it seemed to settle Parker (my little one) for a while as I think the liquid vaccine can cause an upset stomach so the heat from the water may help? X

my boys been exactly the same, even when hes been on me hes been letting out little cries and whimpers and then not settling, finally got him to sleep in the sling so trying my best not to wake him, he had a slight raised temp last night but this morning its down to 36.9 so im keeping an eye on it, havent gave another dose of calpol as his temp was ok but i think his legs are sore and think hes just feeling so sorry for himself bless him

Hour night wakes and 5am get up

Can anyone shed some light as to why on earth my child doesn’t want to sleep??? My eyeballs are bleeding!!

Never been a good sleeper, but the problems always changing. He’s nearly 9 months old.

Beginning of the month he dropped to 2 naps. We could put him to bed at 7pm and he’d get up for the day at 6am, with multiple wake ups every 2/3 hours.

Now we put him down at 7pm, he can do a good 4/5 hour stretch, but come 1/2am he’s up every hour then getting up for the day at 5am. This then completely messes up the day because I can’t keep him awake long enough to even get to 7pm, let alone later.

He has 2 naps, roughly about 1hr10 each but it changed based on when he wakes and trying to get him to a reasonable bed time.

What could be the reason for this? 6am is fine, but 5am is not 😩😩

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Don’t want to leave my first born😭😭😭

Anyone else extremely sad and anxious to leave their first born😭

He’s 2 and we have never not put him to bed or be here for when he wakes up😭

I’m so sad and anxious about leaving him

Help meeee

!!All advice welcome!! My 5 month old (nearly 6mo) is just not sleeping . Not for naps and not at night . She can’t connect her cycles . We started sleep regression at 3 months but in like how is this nearly been going on for a further 3 months . Like surely not . She has 10 min naps in crib ( which take so much effort ) and maybe 20/30 min naps in my arms/pushchair . She wakes minimum every hour at night with guaranteed false start 20 mins in . I combo feed. I breastfeed her until almost asleep then place her in the next to me crib give her the pacifier and put my hand on her cheek/face for 20 seconds and she drifts off . It’s not really getting her to sleep that’s the issue it’s she just won’t stay asleep . She doesn’t even need to feed much at night usually 1-2 breastfeeds . The rest is comfort wakes needing her pacifier or my hand on her cheek . I’ve looked into sleep associations and independent sleep and I broke the feed to sleep association and rocking and do bedside comforting instead for most wakes which has now lead to my hand being a sleep association on her face . I’m just so exhausted my husband is working mon-fri 9-9 and it’s just me . I haven’t had more than 4 hours in a row since her birth . I can’t get anything done during the day . She is so clingy and cries if I leave room /put her down etc. I love her so much but we both need rest . If anyone has any tips or a routine that could help PLEASE tell me I’ll try anything 🥲❤️❤️

Feeding to sleep

FTM here! 👋

Are you guys feeding your baby to sleep?

I just read feeding to sleep is creating bad habit and baby will always cry etc when awake at night expecting to get bottle before falling asleep again. 🤔
It said should feed the baby, give a bath (or not) and then put to sleep.
I do other way around - bath, pjs/lotion, rock to sleep and feed at the same time and then baby falling asleep.
Am I creating a bad habit? Been doing it all the time really. 😳

Feeds

How many times a night are your little ones getting up? My daughter is every 90-110 minutes. I am absolutely exhausted and don’t know how much more I can cope
