Immunisations & high BPM

Evening! My 8 week old had her jabs today :( I’m not sure if anyone has found this has happened to there babies - however, I’ve just put her owlet sock on (like I do every night) and I’ve noticed her BPM is around 179-198 mark! Which is never been that high! I completely get that it most likely will be higher due to her body being in a bit of distress & discomfort - however I just wanted to see if any one else has had the same situation! Thank you! ( help me put my mum health anxiety at ease😭🫠)

Not been in the same situation but as with anything, if you're worried you can always call triage x

It’s likely due to her having a temperature as any temperature will raise your heart rate, and the jabs will most likely cause a temperature. I would go more by her physically as it’s unusual to monitor their heart rate, maybe look for things like is she breathing rapidly? Is she sucking in her chest when she breathes etc. Have you given calpol? if you are concerned then you can call 111 and they’ll advice you 🙂

yes she has had 2.5ml of calpol every 4 hours! She just had her last one of 24 hours as they suggest doing 3 in the space of 24 hours - her BPM has gone slightly down inbetween 160-170 now luckily! I’m defo going to keep an eye on her! Thank you so much! Going to check if she’s breathing funny aswell! - she’s got a high temp, so only in a sleepsuit and nappy as of right now ! - just hopefully will all go down soon😭☺️ xx

It’s defo a little temp! We’ve used the Owlet for 3 years with oldest and now with baby and every time her heart rate increased in the night I could guarantee she had a temp. You could see it increasing steadily and I’d know I’d be getting the calpol out!

If you’re worried of course call 111

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.
