Tips/advice for 1 year jabs

Hi ladies!
My little one has got his 1 year jabs tomorrow after being poorly... I'm so nervous for them as he's obviously so much more aware. My partner was supposed to be coming with me for these ones, but now can't.

Any tips? Did you give calpol before or after? Just a case of trying to distract him? The other vaccinations feels forever ago! I just remember blubbering 😂🙆🏻‍♀️ I know I'm being silly and overthinking...Sorry! 😅

I gave calpol at the doctors just before the appointment just in case, but she actually didn’t have a fever or anything after. She was a bit grumpy but apparently they can get their fever, rash etc any time within 2 weeks after the jabs as it takes a while for the vaccine to ‘kick in’.
As for the actual jabs itself it took me a lot longer to calm her down after them, she was really really upset and screamed the doctors down, but by the time she was in the car on the way home she had forgotten about it. But definitely took longer than the jabs when they were tiny! ❤️good luck mama and little one ❤️

Hi, I took my little boy 10 days ago now and he was poorly pretty much within the first few hours. He had a high temperature for two days which we kept down with paracetamol so I’d hold off on the paracetamol until you actually need it as we needed it around the clock. After two days, he was absolutely fine. And he hasn’t been poorly since fingers crossed. He’s come up in a few spots the last couple of days but he’s well in himself. But every child is different xx

Thank you so much ladies! I really appreciate it! 🙂

Did you find your little ones wanted to sleep more during the day afterwards?

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. 🩵
