Screaming baby 😭

Does anyone else’s newborn scream so much they legit stop breathing and go so red/purple in the face when they change their nappy or clothes?

It’s honestly terrifying me… he hates hates HATES having his nappy changed, or clothes… he cries so intensely and it’s so sad to see.

Is it normal for a baby to hate it so much?

I dread nappy changes in the night as my partner is working early, and then we have his children 3-4 nights a week and they wake up to him crying xx

Yep - mine was the same. We were terrified to bath him for the first time because of that! He’s great now. It’s a phase and will pass, u just need to stay chill and go at ur own pace. He will start to love it but it takes a bit of time x

My baby used to cry sooo much during nappy changes then i started using warm wipes and it’s so much better. Maybe you could try if you haven’t tried already?

yeah I feel the cold of the wipes he doesn’t like but as soon as we unbutton his sleep suit or take off his trousers he just starts crying x

Mine was the same!! Hated nappy changes and screamed blue murder, then he got used to it, now he’s crawling and rolling he’s a nightmare to keep on his back and change so often cries again 😅

My son for the first 3 months he just did not stop screaming!! He was holding his breath to worrying amounts and nothing would calm him down he didn't sleep hardly it was a nightmare!! And yes it's normal for them to hate being changed my son is nearly 7 months and he's still the same when I change his nappy or clothes he goes mental

My daughter was the same! She settled eventually though. Please be wary of wipe warmers- they encourage bacteria growth

Yes ours was hysterical every time. I know this is controversial but we started changing him on the floor infront of the tv and putting on some baby sensory or a baby song and it would calm him down. A week later we noticed he had stopped completely so we stopped using the tv and now he’s fine with being changed.

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.

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

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. 🩵
