Do you think my baby isn’t ready for baby sensory classes?

He’s three and a half months so still pretty young and every time we got to baby sensory classes, which is only 30min, he ends up crying as he just gets so overwhelmed. After there is often a coffee shop visit with the other moms but he just ends up being really fussy and ends up screaming.

Could it be too much, too soon?
Or is it good for him and his brain development??

Just to note when he’s in the class he usually is smiling and seems relaxed taking it all in. Then it all goes down hill

It is a good time in the day for him, nap-wise? If it's close to when he's due a sleep, he could just be fussy due to tiredness and overstimulation.

It depends on the baby a lot, you should try shorter time maybe, not go to the coffee shop etc. My son is 15 months, we go to some playgroups but he can still get overstimulated sometimes as he is very sensitive to sounds like his dad, so sometimes I might need to leave early or not go alltogether if he has a fussy day.

So I would say see how it goes and expect each time to be different, they are very unpredictable at this age

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.

Did I overreact?

I have had 3 c sections, recently had a wisdom teeth removal (4) to be exact and all my mom did was visit the day BEFORE and then she only sent 1 text. She has NEVER spent one full day with me and doesn’t acknowledge my achievements much. She just isn’t there when I need her to be. She claims she’s always working but she lives like 7 minutes away! she can come help with the kids so my husband can have break? we don’t ask her for much and she only sees the kids 1-2 a month. She also didn’t visit with my last c section. I told her that she should’ve gotten the abortion when she had the chance with me because why would you have me and neglect me emotionally? To not actually give me a present father in my life. I am very angry all she does is disappoint me. She only wants to show up for certain people in the family and I just want to grab her and shake her and ask her why can’t she be a good present mother?

Breastfeeding

Does it ever feel better? The actual feeding part of it is going really well and baby boy is growing so well. I’m struggling with how my boobs feel day to day - it’s really getting me down most days. The let downs make me feel awful and sounds silly but, I am also really missing not wearing a bra! 9 weeks postpartum and still getting fairly engorged, even with comfort pumping.

Any advice or just shared stories would help. I’m so torn between carrying on because I enjoy the feeding side of it or switching to formula.
