Circumcised vs un circumcised

Did you get your son circumcised for non religious reasons? If you got it done for cleanliness reasons I genuinely think you're dirty and unable to keep a child clean 🤢

I didn’t get my son circumcised I find it weird doing that to a baby

I didn’t because God made them that way. If he wanted it to be similar to when the covenant still needed to be done then he would’ve changed them but he didn’t. We no longer need to keep the old covenant either. They lose feeling when getting circumcised as well. I also was scared for it to stick to the diaper when changing him. At the end I gave dad the choice but thankfully he sided with me.

I think cleanliness actually comes more into play with old men. They get dementia or very overweight and forget/can’t clean as well and come into the hospital with infections or unrelated stuff but when doing bed baths it becomes clear the foreskin has not been cleaned in a while. It’s very sad honestly

My husband is and did want our son to be circumcised but he said if I wasn’t onboard it wouldn’t happen.

As it wasn’t a yes from both of us, it’s not happened.

We did it because my son’s father insisted it would be necessary and a good idea. Not having a penis myself, and also of the mindset that men shouldn’t make decisions about women’s bodies, I deferred to his judgment on this one.

My mum had both my brothers done but theirs was due to a medical reason called hypospadias.
It’s where the urinary opening forms on the underside rather than the tip of the penis.
So it doesn’t always come down to just having it done for religious purposes or cleanliness

Poop question

Hey mommas I’m a ftm and my babygirl hasn’t pooped in two days she’s formula feed and is 12 weeks old. I can tell she’s uncomfortable and I feel so bad. I’ve been doing belly rubs and bicycle kicks and all the things like that. Also gave her some gas drops and gripe water to relieve the gas but still no poop. Does anyone have any tips or tricks for me. Pic so we don’t get lost💕

Health Visitor Home Visit

Hii, could anyone explain what the health visitor does on their home visit?

Also if anyone had a home birth, what the midwife home risk assessment involves?

I’ve got 3 home visits coming up in the next two weeks (health visitor, midwives and doula) and it’s making me nervous for some reason. I think having 3 just feels like a lot and a bit invasive if that makes sense!

Who else is out there holding a baby thru the night so his noises dont wake up the house?!

I cant believe im still doing this at 15 months old!!!

My 2nd child is not just the noisiest sleeper but they have always been weird with breastfeeding

I think currently he is having some kinda developmental leap and growth spurt, eating and drinking like crazy and in the middle of the night if he wakes up , it takes ages to put back to sleep and he rolls around making sooooo much noise!!!

And i either have a low supply now OR he loves a fast flow and so he just jumps off the boob when it slows and complains loudly or just talks cutely but loudly! and i have to keep swapping boobs OR i have to get up and hold him and feed so gravity helps and the flow is faster and holding him means he eventually sleeps or at-least is feeding properly so is bloody quiet now! So at 1 am or 3am or often 5am onwards im holding n feeding until he wakes up 🥲🥲🥲

Any tips?

How’s everyone’s babies sleeping?

My little one is 19 weeks, she used to sleep through when we would put her to bed at around 10pm, she would sleep through until 6-7 am.
Now she gets so tired around 8 pm so we moved her bedtime here, but coming with this is 1-2 night feeds and she’ll be wide awake at 6 am, which I know is still amazing but I am currently as sick as a dog so hasn’t been the best for my flu 🤣.
I’m unsure whether this is the regression though as her naps are very scattered throughout the day with the max nap being 30 minutes through contact only.
Does this sound like the regression? When did your little one start sleeping through again if they ever did? Thanks in advance 🤗❤️

How are we entertaining our babies

What toys does everyone have for their 7 month old?
Nothing is satisfying my little girl she's got blocks, rattles, playmats loads more. She would much rather hold my hands and walk all day but I cant physically do that and whenever I put her down to play she just wont, is this just a faze?
