Is it blood

My 6months baby spitted out curdled milk and it had red fibre like thing in it. Is it blood? Has anyone seen it before with their baby. He had avocados in the morning and this spit up was at night

Starting solids, effect on breastfeeding?

Hey mamas, my 6 month old has been having a blast trying solid foods. She will try to eat anything and everything and nothing slows her down. Has anyone had a negative impact on breastfeeding after starting solids? My girl has had lots of "breastfeeding strikes" and gets mad about nursing a lot.

mother in laws 🤷🏻‍♀️

i’ll preface with she’s amazing, raised my trophy husband as a single mom, and i’m lucky she was a labor and delivery nurse for like 30 years but just looking for some solidarity here.

anyone else get deeply annoyed when MIL tells YOU who your baby is?? I mean a baby cries, babies get fussy, but MIL telling me “It must be her personality, I think she’s going to be a vocal one” etc etc makes me think, “bruh she’s been alive only a few months, she hasn’t had the time to develop a personality” and she sees her just a couple hours a week so I’m more of the mind like, baby just isn’t used to you but biting my tongue here!!!

Napping at Childminders

So my 11 month old has been going to his childminders for a month now and if anything naps there are getting worse? He’s only having 1 nap a day there (naps fine at home) and they’re for about 35 mins. He’s always exhausted when he gets home and it has a monopoly effect on the night sleep. I don’t know what’s going on. Is this normal? What do I say to the childminders? Idk if it’s because they’re putting him down for a nap really late in the day when he’s way past being overtired. I’m worried because he’s clearly getting next to no sleep there and idk how long it can continue for. Thanks!

MIL

I’m getting tired of my mother in laws bs. So because I won’t take my son to her house because she has the flu I’m over protective. She’s just got out of hospital she’s been on oxygen and is still poorly with it. And now she’s saying he’s not even my baby he belongs to the authority. Apparently I just carried him and birthed him and anyone can take him at any point. She knows I’ve always struggled with thoughts of loosing my son, and now she’s saying this. Can anyone reassure me? At this point I feel it’s mental abuse.

Neurodiverse?

Really worried about my 7.5 month old. To be honest, started picking up on certain “quirks” at around 4 months old. Being a foster carer for 20 years my specialty is placements of the neurodiverse, and learning disabilities. However they have never been this tiny, and I’m wondering if these are just normal things or likely to be “something”. I’d rather not hear that she is too young, or what the difference would be, because she’s not to young to be showing signs but no, it wouldn’t make an ounce of difference , she’s literally my world.

She doesn’t sleep, at all. Maybe one nap a day, two if I’m lucky, has been since 3 months old and only ever 30 mins or less. Owlet registers over 30+ wakes a night, it’s relentless, she’s still in our bedroom for this reason.

She’s NON STOP. Constantly bouncing, wriggling, refused to be strapped in anywhere, loves to move m, rougher the better, thrown high, etc- huge sensory output. Doesn’t sit still, can’t read with her, keep her entertained for any length of time

Constantly rubs her forefinger and thumb together in cross shape all day, only one hand. Always points her feet. Hand ALWAYS in her mouth, from 2.5 months. Keeps pulling head to one side randomly.

Used to love certain toys and sensory items- now screams if she’s near them. Hates shoes and socks, laughs randomly all the time, can play for hours just with stacking cups and gets so overstimulated multiple times a day.

Which sounds better for our baby boy

We just can’t agree 😅
