Snoring

My wee one has had tonsillitis 3 times and the GP has said he has large adenoids which he will grow in to and not much can be done about it. He started snoring more a few months ago and a few times experienced sleep apnea. Is anyone else's little one going through this at all?

My sisters had this issue and my son is the same. I also had my tonsils removed. They all needed an operation to remove there tonsils and adenoids which helped massively. I’d ask for a second opinion personally as I’ve never heard of someone ‘growing in to them’ how close together has he had the Tonsilitis?

They said he will grow and they won't but I didn't really understand that and how that works 😔 i was told if he had ALL 3 of sleep apnea, hyperactivity during sleep and abnormal tiredness then yhey would do a referral to ENT. He only has sleep apnea. I think possibly had the 3 bouts of tonsillitis in the last year or so c

Keep going back and pushing!! My niece was the same and they didn’t do anything until she turned 8 and said ‘I can’t believe she’s only having this now’
Keep pushing! You know best xxxx

Not my son but I had my tonsils and adenoids removed when I was v young because of snoring & consistently getting ill - it’s definitely an option so I’d push for a second opinion

Thank you everyone - I will get another appointment and get them to do the referral. It just doesn't sit right with me - he was had numerous chest infections, tonsillitis and right now a viral infection with a very bad cough and complaining of a sore throat. I don't know if any of this would be connected but to me that seems a lot for a 27 month old x

CPS?

Something’s wrong with me. My LG was wailing & crying & screaming & all I did was watch. Didn’t feel like picking her up to comfort her & still don’t.. should I just turn myself in?

Imposter Syndrome

Does anyone else feel like you have imposter syndrome being a mom?

I had my first a couple weeks before I turned 38 and I had already accepted I wouldn't have kids (not by choice).

I remember going to my appointments feeling like I wasn't as pregnant or really pregnant like the other patients in the lobby were. I often catch myself feeling like this isn't my life and I'm playing house my child. I love him so much, but I feel like this just isn't real. He's 15 months so I've had time to come to terms.

Has anyone else felt something like this? How did you get over it?

Brest feeding 6 months plus

Hi. Silly question but how does people navigate Brest feeding when baby gets their teeth? I never made it this far while b feeding my other two so I’m not sure what the next stages will look like.

When to stop C curl and restricted blankets?

May be too soon but just out of interest. When is it safe to no longer sleep in C curl around baby/child? My girl is 10 months but very long and I can no longer do C curl well 😅. Plus her whole bottom half is past my waist now which is where I keep the blanket too.

Long night wakings and exhaustion

My 4 week old wakes once/ twice in the night. Problem is that the wake period is really long. It’s not that he’s awake for the whole time, but he struggles to get comfy again in his next to me. It often means I’m awake from about 2-4am and then he wakes again around 6 and we don’t get back to sleep after that one. We don’t get to sleep until around 10:30/11 as that is when he has his evening feed. My toddler is also waking in the night too sometimes. I’m so so tired that I can’t think straight and I’m also doing nursery runs/ looking after a toddler at the same time as a newborn and just feeling really overwhelmed. My husband helps out but he’s back at work and is knackered too. Is anyone else having similar issues?

Coconut oil for baby’s curls

Ladies, what brand of coconut oil are you using for your curly baby’s hair? And how often ate you using it?
