I haven’t heard anything about it

I had gave my 3 month old 1oz apple juice mixed w 1 oz water for constipation it works so well

Our pediatrician told us to wait for foods till 6 months, and juices 12 months, but everyone is different

My pediatrician said stay away from juice for as long as possible. Do you know why they recommended it?

I work in pediatrics all parents are told to wait until about the 6 month mark just to be safe. Giving the baby water before then could lead to water intoxication due to their baby kidneys not being developed all the way to filter out anything but their milk.

I’m not sure why your pediatrician is recommending this, but if you trust them and your gut is telling you it’s okay then you can give it. Always trust your gut though. If it feels off or wrong don’t do it.

We started giving my daughter juice at 6 months old because she was having bad constipation. Even now at 17 months juice is the only thing that keeps her regular. No matter how much fiber, water, fruits, etc. we give her she’s always constipated unless she has juice.

Maybe water before juice😭 that’s weird. Even then I would wait till at least 6 months for water.

Help

My 5 week old is always up from 1am every hour grunting and squeaking and just won’t sleep. I end up having to bring him with me and I’m worried I’m creating a rod for my own back. I’m exhausted. First half of the night he’s okish. But from 1/2 it’s absolute hell. He farts a lot then as well but I just dunno what to do. Last night was the worst it’s been.

Not sure what’s wrong- 5months

Has anyone experienced any of the below problems with their baby?
He’s always a happy baby so this is completely not him. He’s a terrible sleeper but now it’s worse, if it could.

He’s was EBF but now on formula for the last 2 weeks. 2 days in a row now he’s vomitted a lot of milk out everywhere in the evening and just before bed.
For example I was walking around the room with him around 18:45 and it just came out of no where everywhere.

He’s very miserable and takes ages to get to sleep. Crying lots.
He’s been dribbling a lot, flushed one cheek but I can’t see any teeth coming.

All night he just won’t settle in his cot. Sometimes just starts crying hysterically and I can’t settle him at all.

A very tired mama.

Any advise on what it could be?

Naps!

My lo is 7.5 months and has recently struggled to be put in her cot for naps/sleep. She will sleep on me but as soon as I lie her down wide awake! Help!

Sleeping through

If your baby is sleeping through the night are you ever nervous about saying that to other parents with babies of the same age? My toddler no longer sleeps through without coming into our bed but did until about 11 months old and now my 11 week old has been sleeping solid for 3 or 4 weeks now. I always feel like I can’t say it to other mums because it comes across like I’m showing off…I know what the sleep deprivation feels like and how you can just resent anyone for anything🤣 but I kind of feel like I can’t relate sometimes.

Pregnancy insomnia??!

Hey, I’m 28 weeks and this is my 3rd baby. For the past 2 weeks I am able to get to sleep fine but really struggling with 3-4am wake ups. Once I wake up I cannot get back to sleep, meaning come 9-10am I am absolutely exhausted. Has anyone gone through this and is able to shed some tips on what might help

Is there any correlation between sleeping through the night and types of feeding?

Did your baby age 0-6months sleep through the night, 6 hours or more, and how were they fed? It always see like formula fed babies sleep through the night sooner than breastfed babies.
