Did you follow all of the guidelines after having a baby?

If no what did you not follow?

I also get its survivor bias so I’m not saying I was right to do these things.

1. My babies all slept with blanket/comforter from early on. They also all were sleeping through from an early age.

2. I had a bath a couple of days after my c section.

I’m sure there were more but these two are the ones that stand out 🫣

My baby didnt like to be swaddle so we used a blanket, but thats not necessarily against guideline, as long as its tucked in properly.

She NEVER wore a hat or mittens

I had a bath as soon as I got home from the hospital, episiotomy and forceps birth.

She slept through from 13 weeks.

We went to the shops when she was 2 days old (she didn't like the bottles we had and I had cabin fever)

Restaurants at around a week.

Im sure theres more but thats all I can think of.

Never bought a prep machine, dont trust the build-up of mould and bio film, and there is more work 6 necessary to clean.
If staying home i had 2 bottles prepped in fridge if going out water was pre filled in bottle and milk was weighed out in a tub so I could just add milk. Also stated weening son at 3 months as he was drinking 9 ounce hungry formula every 3 hours he was hungry I fed him it helped.
Let my babies be held by everyone from the day they were born.

Cosleeping, blankets, out in public day after coming home from the hospital, pump fridge hack. Traveling to find a home big enough for our newest member, packed an entire house, drove and moved to another state during my recovery from csection. Had to drive the 3 hours back for my 6 week check-up

i dont trust anyone who says they did exactly everything by the book, its impossible!!!

Can’t decide between vbac or section

I am so unbelievably torn between how I want to give birth. I just cant decide, I’m only 26 weeks so I know I’ve got time but I feel like I don’t🙈I’ve written pros and cons for both and it hasn’t helped attal! My first birth was via elective c section through maternal choice and it went well and I healed well. Can anyone shed any light and help me out 😩

Newborn sweating

My 10 day old seems to be sweating through his onesies. His nappies are dry when we change him. The temp of the room and his temp are monitored. These last few nights when I'm getting him out of his bassinet he's damp. We've taken a layer of him but we're in one layer and don't want him to be cold. Has anyone else experienced this?

Further scans/labour induction

Hi All, I am 37 weeks and 4days pregnant. I have no signs of labour yet. The last scan was at 34weeks and the midwife suggested that no further scans are required.

My question is - Do I have to reach out to the hospital closer to the date or will they get in touch with me ?

Thanks in advance.

First kick!!!

Omg the “There’s an actual baby in me” moment just happened.
So I’m laying in bed and I feel this hard lump at my pelvic area, not once but twice. At first I thought it was gas but gas moves so I brushed it off. After the second time I’m like okay what’s going on and of course Dr.Google popped up. A few minutes later, I feel a quick “pop” and at that moment I’m like okay time to get up. I went to my mom and told her hey your grandson just kicked me for the first time because apparently he’s not comfortable lol.
