8 week injections

Hiya! My little one had her injections today and she’s slept most of the day since 🥲 when she wakes for feeds, she’s only taking like an ounce at a time then falling back to sleep! Has anyone else’s baby done this too? I was told she may feed less but worried she’s not having enough as she usually has 4oz every 3 hours x

My little one did the same. I just offered little amounts more often for the day x

My little boy had his yesterday. He barely drank either and slept the day away. He also spiked a fever around 7pm. Had his jabs at 10:30am. She’ll make up for it the next day or 2 he’s been back to guzzling 5oz bottles today even though he’s had 2 3 hour naps xx

Same here! She's only eaten twice, one right after (130ml when she normally takes 145ml) and then just 70ml. I think this is normal so I'm not worried xx

My little girl had hers on Friday last week and was the exact same up until Sunday. Just offered her smaller amounts more frequently x

Hi, my daughter had hers yesterday and was very sleepy and not very interested in food yesterday. Woke her to feed which I never have to do, she's BF so don't know how much she had but overall less time than previous days, a bit more today but still not as much as usual,

My daughter has hers today as well puked all over the nurses chair and me! 🤦🏼‍♀️

She’s had about 6oz all day! She usually has 5oz every 2-3 hours but I’m not concerned she’s slept most of the day she’s had calpol as instructed and she’s not got a temperature she’s not fussy she’s just not feeling great I really wouldn’t worry she will take her milk when she’s hungry just offer small amounts more often if you’re concerned but as long as she has wet nappies she’s fine.
It was the same for my first baby she’s wasn’t bothered about milk for about 5 days just small amounts x

You’re doing great though just plenty of cuddles and love she’ll be fine in a few days just try not to stress it really is totally normal xx

My little one did the exact same! Took him a while to start taking his bottles again properly too but aslong as her soft spot hasn't sunk and is wetting nappies then they say it's nothing to worry about x

Hi Mums how long did it take for your little ones to start feeding as normal again? It’s been 3 days since my little girl’s jabs and she’s still taking so much less and is generally unsettled x

My little boy had his jabs yesterday and he was soo sleepy it says online and the nurse also told me that they'd be put off there food for a couple days so she should be absolutely fine xx

Thank you all so much 💕

Bras after breastfeeding

Can anyone recommend some good bras now that I’ve finished breastfeeding and I’ve got 2 half empty sacks? 🤣
I’ve tried the brands Lounge, Boux Avenue (no underwire) and NEXT (underwire.)

They either slip underneath during the day or towards the middle 🥴💕

How many feeds?

How many feeds is baby having overnight?

Baby is nearly 7 weeks old. He tends to fall asleep downstairs on one of us around 8pm, then when we go up to bed around 10-11pm we give a bottle of formula.

He then sleeps until around 2-3am when he wakes for a nappy change and a breastfeed. He will then go back down until around 5am when we do another change and breastfeed. At this point he gets quite fussy in the next to me so I tend to bring him into bed with me to get more sleep until 7-8am

What are your nights looking like?

Freezing hands at night!

Hello everyone,

What are we doing with our little one’s hands at night? Her nursery was at 18.5 degrees last night and she has a vest, a sleepsuit and her 2.5 tog sleeping bag but when she woke up this morning her little hands were freezing cold even tho her chest was warm!

I always feel extremely bad when I pick her up to cuddle in the morning and those little hands are freezing. I know some people are using the built in mittens of the sleepsuit but it doesn’t work for her because she self soothes during the night by sucking her hands so having them covered wouldn’t work for her!

Anyone else in this situation?

Talking Stages?

My 2 year old says some words but I can’t get him to start full on talking yet. I’m reading, flash cards, pointing and saying anything that catches his attention but he hasn’t like grasped it yet. He understands a lot, can follow directions, fast learner in all other areas but idk what else to do the. Rely on gods timing. Starting to work with a speech therapist next month but was seeing if anyone had other tips for a first time mom.

Diapers

I have a 20m old and a 2 month old. Both boys. My 20m old is in size 5 daytime and overnight diapers. My 2m is in size 1. What are we all doing to help with peeing through? Both children pee through their diapers at night (my 2m gets changed during his 3am feeding). I make sure both are always pointed down. do I need to go up a size? I’m at a loss.

Struggling to read cues

I'm a 1st time Mum and my boy is just over 4 weeks. I feel like I'm still struggling to read his cues. It feels like the time between me realising hes hungry and him having a full meltdown is 2 seconds. I feel awful every time he cries. Am I being too harsh on myself? Do babies just cry and its fine and I need to just relax. At what point did you feel like you knew what your baby wanted?
