Colic Relief

What colic relief did you use? Our 11 day old boy started having colics. We bought infacol, but we're not sure whether it works so I wondered whether there is something else we can try.

Infacol is a godsend

Gripe water! Or Mylicon

I used colief with my son, was a god send!

Colic is also to do with the environment/ atmosphere that babies in. Have a neutral environment as possible so non bio detergents/softners no air freshners/eco friendly products. Baby also knows if mum or dad is anxious/ skin to skin is important/swaddling is important. I also used white noise app along with the infacol(preferred) or gripe water.

Hi 😊 I was lucky enough that my boy didn't have any colic. But my sister's boy had it - he had an allergy to cow milk so she had to cut all the diaries and he was better ;) I know that egg white is also a high allergy for wee ones. Some babies are also lactose intolerant and I know there are some drops that ppl use

Gripe water.
We had to be very consistent in offering it.

9 Month Sleep Regression -Help!

Hiii mamas

Me and my kiddo are currently in the sleep regression trenches. This one has hit the hardest of all of them! Me and my husband are really struggling. Our baby barely naps, has tons of night wakings.

At this point I’m desperate for anything that could help her. I can tell how exhausted she is and I feel bad! I just want her to get some sleep. 😭 pick of my baby cause she’s also super cute.

11 days postpartum

I had a 2nd degree tear which they’ve stitched up. I felt down there and everything feels different. Guaranteed I already knew it wouldn’t be the same. But it feels like she’s stitched it up to one side rather than in the middle. I’m just wondering if everything’s going to go back to normal.

Postnatal Depression

Hi, does anyone know of any immediate services that can offer help with this? It is getting worse by the day but I can't bring myself to see the GP. I can feel the weight of it becoming heavier everyday and I'm worried I'll soon be in a position where im unable to see past it and will be unhelpable

Advice?

Recently someone I considered a close friend of mine blocked me. Our friendship for the last couple years has been rocky but at one point for a very long time she was my best friend. During my pregnancy she re entered my life and I welcomed her with open arms because regardless of the things that had happened and the way things made me feel, I still hold her very close to my heart. Since I had my baby we had constantly been making plans for her to come see her for the first time, but they always fell through due to me and my partner just being too exhausted, my communication lacked I will take full accountability many times I could’ve just said, the last thing I’ll do is make excuses for myself, but being a first time mum is hard and very mentally challenging, most things generally do just slip my mind. But when the plan fell through last she blocked me, which is within her right I suppose, I could have communicated better. Post partum is giving me a tough time and I think it stings more because I don’t have very many friends, I never wished for this to happen, I said countless times I wanted nothing more for her to meet my baby and I meant it, when things like this happen to me I feel very hard, and pp is mentally challenging enough, I guess I just want to know if there’s anyway I can think better about this, I’ve apologised but I don’t think she’s interested in hearing me out and that’s fine. I just don’t want to feel sad, I wish I could just forget.

Birds!!

Omg these frickin birds chirping at 4 am are CONSTANTLY waking my baby up. It’s driving me insane. He’s got like supersonic hearing or something. We have his brown noise turned up, window closed, black out blinds pulled down that are supposed to dampen noise, and the fan on. And sure enough he starts stirring every day when the birds start going. That’s it. That’s the post. It’s just so annoying!!! Anyone else?

Night feeds

Are you still feeding every 2-3 hours at night? If not, how long are you waiting before feeding?
I am breastfeeding
