Thinking of not vaccinating my baby.

I’m scared to vaccinate my baby tbh! She had her first set of vaccines and is due for her next round but I’m scared. I’ve heard about babies getting seizures from the fevers and regressing after getting them. Can someone comment their experience? Thank you

Hi, my little girl was fully vaccinated and never had any issues with after effects. I am part of the vaccination team and as long as aftercare is followed such as paracetamol for a high temp. How was your little girl after her first set of vaccines as it’s normally the first time they get them you see effects if they are going to get anything. I do understand your anxiety about getting them as I was the same xx

It’s so hard when our baby gets sick, completely understand the concern. However, if spiking a fever is your only concern from the vaccines I would not stop it because of that, is an easy symptom to treat with either bath, compress or Tylenol. The other thing is, she could still get sick and spike a fever from something else. I’m pro vaccine, so I’d definitely recommend getting her all of her vax. That said, before you make any decisions definitely dive down on researches, maybe even talk to chat gpt to evaluate the pros and cons.

On a side note: the first round of vaccines for my baby was the hardest and symptoms last a couple days, they have been getting milder and going away faster as he gets older.

I waited to vaccinate my oldest daughter but with my second I've been having her get all of her vaccinations on time. Their dad isn't a fan of vaccinations but he knows how I feel about it and has agreed that if I feel it's best he won't object, especially with this measles outbreak where we live. I feel bad having my oldest get her shots now instead of when she was little even though she's been a trooper about it!

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😢💗

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 😂
