Jabs

We have ours on Thursday, those who have already had it, how did you prepare them or any tips at all?!
I know if I explain it to him, he’ll be like ok cool, and then we’ll get there and it’ll be awful😰

I sort of didn't 🙈 I explained how we don't just see dr's when we're sick and sometimes we see them for magic medicine to stop us getting sick. We went and the nurse was great, she said pretty much the same thing and gave him the sheet of stickers to choose from whilst they jabbed him, he didn't even notice! He also was absolutely fine in the days following, totally took me by suprise! X

My daughter had hers last thursday, I let mine watch her tablet while they were being done 😂 specifically the episode of cocomelon where JJ gets his jabs 😂 she didn't even notice and was absolutely fine during and after, we went the fair after and would never know she had her jabs that morning, she was fine following then x

Ours was a last minute appointment so didn’t really prepare, other than getting his toy DRs kit out.
I promised a trip to the shops straight after where he could choose a treat which did the trick. He cried for a couple of seconds then I mentioned going to the shops and he was fine. Didn’t seem to have any ill effects. The nurse was great and had a TV right in front of him which helped too.

I prepared our boy with talking him through what will happen using his play docs set. I did tell him it will probably hurt but that's ok as it was be very quick.
He did so well there was tears but a maccies after sorted that.
I didn't want to lie and say it would all be ok I wanted him to know it will probably hurt and your arms will hurt for a few days later as I wouldn't want him to get a fear of injections later on, if you get me. X

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😢💗

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.

Big nursing bras!

I’m looking for recommendations for good nursing bras for bigger breasted ladies!

I’m currently in a 38H which seems to be the biggest size done at M&S (UK based mama here) and it’s snug and not as supportive as I’d like. When I look online, they mainly seem to be sized S, M, L, XL etc rather than bra sizes.

Any recommendations please?

Strange question

Hello. I would identify myself as asexual but yes i am married and i have a child. But now that ive had my baby. I think its solidified that im done having sex. I feel bad as my partner keeps asking me but i just dont want to. Any advice on what i can do? Any other asexual moms out there? I guess this could be confusing but im not huge on being bound by a label. I have just always felt it represented me best since highschool.
