My little one has bumped his head so many times, had lots of bruises and eggs on the head, if she seems otherwise ok in herself and there was no loss of consciousness then I wouldn’t worry! I think the advice is if they fall from higher than their height or 1m, then they need to get checked out but otherwise I’m sure she’ll be fine! Just keep an eye for drowsiness or vomiting if you’re worried x

They tend to be way stronger than we think, but just stay close to her and see how you feel. If you are too worried call 111? I know I always think the worst when my littleone falls but it is all part of the process...

https://www.healthiertogether.nhs.uk/child-under-5-years/head-injury scroll to at home care + prevention section for more info but heres what it says on overnight,
Allow your child to sleep as normal. We would encourage you to check on them a couple of times overnight to check:
Do they appear to be breathing normally?
Are they sleeping in a normal posture?
Do they make the expected response when you rouse them gently? (E.g. pulling up sheets, cuddling teddy-bear)
If you cannot satisfy yourself that your child is sleeping normally, then wake them fully to check.
Keep a regular sleep routine going to bed and waking at the same time each day

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?

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?

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😢💗

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.
