8 week jabs š
When should I give my little one Calpol before or after?
The doctors have told me to give it to him before and other people have told me to give it to him straight after as it could hide some of the symptoms.

My LO has hers tomorrow and the health visitor has told me to take it with me and give it after.
I always took it with me and gave straight after x
My boy had his last week. I made sure the calpol was in his change bag and gave it to him immediately after. He had a fever and was very grizzly so anticipate a challenging few days š¢
After, just if they need it.
Thank you Iāll take it with me and give it to him straight after xx

That's the leaflet you'll be given about it but nice to read beforehand š
Straight after x
After for sure. Before it could mask any initial reactions they have to it. I also wouldnāt stress about taking it with you, when you get home is perfectly fine.
My doctors always said give it before so thatās what weāve done.
Hiya! Spoke to the Doctor today who advised that they can have it straight after, because if they have it before then it might mask any reactions etc - then for two more doses after when they need it and then no more until theyāre 12 weeks
Apparently they can have it for jabs but shouldnāt have it after the initial 3 doses until 3 months old
If temp and being poorly persists, they should go back to doctors or A&E if temp is high xx
My LO had hers today and health visitor said prior to them to give it after
I gave it a few hours after as he fell asleep straight after his jabs and was completely fine but still gave it just incase but some babies are okay with it and dont develop anything, it all depends on your baby and how they react to it x
We had it yesterday and they said to give it to him after x
I was told 30 mins before her jab and make sure she has it 2 more times that day

Gamer husband help
My husband works during the week and Iām on mat leave. I start my LO bedtime routine at 8pm and she needs to be held to sleep (sheās 12 weeks) so basically my bedtime has now become the same as hers. During the week he doesnāt get up at night to help with the baby because of work and he needs his rest but on the weekends he stays up all night playing video games and will complain that he couldnāt sleep.
I feel like if heās up anyway, he could help with putting her to sleep but since sheās EBF, he will use the excuse that he canāt feed her so he canāt. Is it fair for me to be upset about this?
Edit: will also add that on weekends , he will wake up around 2pm but then will spend a few hours with her and encourages me to do something for myself. But itās the nights that get me!

Car seat problems!
Hey everyone,
I have just bought the Joie GTI spin car seat for my 10 month old but having major issues with her head leaning forward when she falls asleepā¦
Iāve got the reclining back on the car seat as much as it will go, and think that the head rest is at the right level.
Does anyone else have this problem and know what I can do about it? or whether it is just the car seat in general?
Thank you x

Did I take this the wrong way.
So Iām 8 weeks pregnant. My youngest just turned 1 August 10th I also have a 7 yr old 4 yr old and a 2 yr old. I told my mom I was pregnant only because eventually she would notice. But yesterday she said something that bothered me then tried to flip it. Basically she was like ā the nurse told you your last pregnancy that your body was under stress because you keep having babies back to back ā ā I hope this one doesnāt kill you ā I hope this one doesnāt take you out ā so it didnt dawn on me till she hung up the phone . in my mind Iām like thatās really fucked up to say. She says I took it in the wrong context but how??? I told her actually by her saying that I could be very traumatized worrying about if Iām going to die or not. Sheās like ā well Iām traumatized because of what the nurse told you last yr ā like wtf now itās about her. Please share your thought.

Naps and wake times
How seriously should we be taking nap times and wake times? My LO is 12 weeks old and I take her wake times seriously but so much so that I will stay home all day because I want her to nap properly given how short the wake windows are. My partner takes them lightly, and says sheāll sleep on the go (idk how when she hates her pram and will only sleep if I babywear.) Am I overcomplicating things or is he underestimating things?

Iāve made a rod for my own back š©
My baby girl is almost 11 weeks old and over the last week or so her false starts at night have gotten worse! Once she is asleep at night she generally only wakes once or twice for a little feed, but it can take hours to get to that point.
I just want to soak it all up so the ā1 nap a day in the bassinetā hasnāt been happening consistently, so I know this is the first thing to start doing.
At bedtime (whatever that is š„“) I am feeding, changing, and rocking her to sleep and then transferring - which again, I know isnāt helping the false starts.
I just cannot let her get so upset/distressed before sleeping! How do I make these changes without just leaving her to work out that she needs to sleep?
Any tips would be much appreciated!
From one tired mumma and one cuddly baby š„¹
