Dietician appointment for CMPA

So i got told when baby was 4 months old (she’s now 6months) that she would be referred to a dietician ready for weaning. We’ve not heard anything but we decided to start weaning her sooner than 6 months because she was really interested in food. Anyway we’ve been sticking to dairy free atuff but still unsure if we can add oat or soya milk into her diet.
I got intouch with the doctor to see if they knew about the dietician appointment and got told to ask the health visitor, the health visitor has now told me that she doesn’t know about the appointments and I need to get in touch with the department directly. I’m assuming it’s in the hospital I gave birth at?
Has anyone else had the same issue with being referred to a dietician? Baby was born in the RVI.

Hey. My boys have CMPA and I made an appointment with their GP when they turned 6 months to discuss weaning and a dietician. I was told dietician wasn't necessary until they're fully weaned 🫣 I slowly introduced them to oat milk while weaning though and they have soya yogurts now. Ella's Kitchen have lots of dairy free options and Lidl do dairy free porridges too.

GP did say to follow the milk ladder when eventually introducing cows milk. I have done some research and have started the milk ladder (they're now 11 months, 10 corrected), if I have no issues, I'll continue on my own but if there's any adverse reaction, I'll be pushing for dietician appointment. My boys were also born at the RVI but it's my understanding that if you're based in North Tyneside, you'll see a dietician at Rake Lane.

Sleep

Does anyone else miss just getting in bed and sleeping straight through until morning no waking up to feed or to pump or cus the baby made a weird noise

Standing???

Anyone else’s 7 month old standing up and trying to take steps??? My son can fully stand without support and is now trying to take steps. I feel like it’s too early?…

Excuse the mess, I’m doing a late night deep clean and he’s doing the opposite of helping 😂

Deodorant

Ladies what deodorant are we all using?

Since the sun has finally remembered to exist and we've been going on more walks I STINK. I smell like I've been laying on the beach in the sun covered in oil all day. All just after going for a walk.

I know a lot of people struggle with this postpartum but it's so embarrassing!

I just can't seem to find one that works for me?

Help!?!

Sleeping 5 months

My baby is 5 months today, his been a wake up once a night for milk since 3 months old. Very luckily i know. For the last couple of days we are having lots of waking up but his moan crying( not crying crying) if that makes sense. If we give him a cuddle he will happily be straight asleep in seconds.

Have we hit the 4 month sleep regression late?
Anyone else in this phase?
We are also teething could it be this?
Help and suggestions please

Thank you in advance

Regression

Is anyone else struggling? I haven’t slept in days. She’s gone from sleeping 9-10 hour stretches to up every hour. I’m so exhausted. I suffer from anxiety and I need sleep otherwise it triggers me and I have panic attacks. How long will it last? I’m soothing, giving a dummy, I put her down awake but drowsy, she’ll drop off for an hour max. I’m trying so hard to not show my panic as I know it’ll rub off on her but I genuinely cannot take this anymore.. how long is this going to last? Is it up to 6 weeks? Even a longer stretch for the first sleep will do me but I can’t even get that.. she’ll only contact nap in the day so I can’t even get a nap in then. Please help me

Cheap Car Seat

Hi all,

I need a cheap car seat for my mums car just for when she looks after my daughter incase she needs to pop out.

I ain’t particularly concerned over safety because it’s literally for emergencies only, as she plans everything around childcare - but I need something just incase she needs to go out.

Ideally looking for something under £80 - my daughters nearly 2 x
