8 week jabs 🙈

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 😢

After, just if they need it.

Thank you I’ll 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 😎

Straight after x

After for sure. Before it could mask any initial reactions they have to it. I also wouldn’t stress about taking it with you, when you get home is perfectly fine.

My doctors always said give it before so that’s what we’ve done.

Do you teach your child the proper terms for genitalia (penis/vagina)?

My husband is uncomfortable with our daughter knowing or using the word "penis". Do you teach your child the proper terms? I say it should be normalized but he disagrees because it makes him uncomfortable.

How to not react? / “Grey rocking”?

TO PREFACE YALL I AM WORKING INCREDIBLY HARD ON GETTING OUT OF THIS SITUATION BUT AS YOU KNOW IT TAKES TIME GETTING THINGS TOGETHER TO LEAVE WITH A BABY. NO I DO NOT HAVE ANYWHERE ELSE TO GO AND AM NOT ACTIVELY LOOKING FOR RESOURCES.

as someone that’s passionate, LATINA, very opinionated HOW DO I STFU. In a situation right now where he is verbally and emotionally abusive. It’s gotten worse. wasn’t always like this. “Shut the fuck up” “Get the fuck out” “Bitch” “Cunt”. girl I’ve heard it all. some days it hits harder and I do run away and cry ..

but i’m at the point where it doesn’t even hurt me or surprise me the things that MF says. so as someone that’s emotional, out spoken, stubborn.. how do i stop reacting!!?! grey rock i think they call it. i know i know “just say Ok” “just walk away”. sometimes after a hard day or week FUCK IT IS SOO HARD TO NOT STICK IT TO THEM YK? like fuck you. trust me i’m not one to be walked on or take it im tired of arguing though. tired of telling him who the fuck he’s talking to. anyways for my own peace of mind.. how?

The only time we dont want a mans soft side...

Hey ladies.... i have something I want to just get off my chest. Ive noticed my husband becoming soft pretty early but lately hes been getting softer a lot more while having sex and its hard to enjoy the finish line when it becomes soft mid way . Because men have high ego about this stuff ive never talked to him about it. I know itll embarrass him. And culturally this is still very hash hash. Hes going to be 41 this year but the softness started around late 20s from what I Remmeber or early 30s. I dont think its work stress either. I guess i want to ask if this age is normal? I thought they were good until at least mid 50s?

Postpartum depression

I think I may be suffering from PPD I’m getting so angry and fed up I love my boy sometimes wish I could just walk away I constantly feel like I’m failing and I’m alone just want to cry all the time but I apart just got my first period so unsure if it’s just the pms

Need urgent advice!

Hi moms, I really need some advice. My 2-year-old still doesn’t sleep through the night and wakes up anywhere from 3 to 7 times. She eats well, is generally healthy, and is meeting all her milestones. She drinks Aptamil Pepti 2 before bed.
I’m starting to worry this isn’t normal and that I might be missing something. I’d really appreciate any advice, has anyone been in a similar situation? Did you take your child to see a GP or a specialist?

Why has my baby stopped drinking milk?
