One year jabs

My daughter had her one year jabs at 9am yesterday and around 2pm, she was crying inconsolably from the jabs in her legs. She couldn’t move her legs at all. Couldn’t crawl. She was in a lot of pain. I had to lie her down and put tv on as I couldn’t bare to see her in pain. I couldn’t even move her legs to change her nappy. She’s a bit on the smaller side so I wonder if that’s why it affected her more. Has this happened to anyone else’s babies? How long did it take to recover? I am up at 2am so worried about her.

I’m not a GP but I am sure she should be able to move her legs after vaccination.
I would ring 111 for advice today if the same
How is she doing today?x

I have called them and they said a clinician would call me back. She’s slightly better but still is finding it painful to move her legs. We can’t change her nappy without her crying out in pain

Omg poor baby😢 you must be worried sick. I am sure everything will be fine soon!
Hope you both are ok xx

I would deffo get her checked out if she’s screaming in pain and can’t move her legs could be a reaction? My lg had hers on Tuesday she was niggly all afternoon but then fine afterwards x

Thank you everyone. She’s a lot better but I do think the nurse messed up the jab on the left leg as she winces when I move it. I called 111 and they said to give calpol. I hope she will be back to crawling around tomorrow xxx

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?

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

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

Crying during feeding

Hey mams! My girl is 6 weeks on Monday and is having so much trouble with feeding. It doesn’t happen every feed but more often than not she will start a bottle and just start crying as if she’s in pain and she can’t take the milk. I think it’s trapped wind but I genuinely don’t know what to do it’s so pitiful to see her not be able to feed! She’s formula fed and on HiPP Organic.
Anyone else been in this position? I’m pretty sure it’s just a bit of trapped wind that she needs to fart out but can’t! If anyone has any advice I’d be very grateful as I think I may need to tape my eyelids open soon 😂

No more naps! 10 month old

For a few days now my 10m old has fought her 2 daily naps. Normally her wake windows were 3-4 hours and she is now eventually napping after a 6 hour wake window. Today was only one nap, she skipped the second one. Used to nap like clockwork so I’m wondering if anyone else is experiencing this? Also very unsettled most nights and doesn’t sleep well at all
