How early did you start giving your baby rice in the morning, I feel Benjamin needs just needs that little extra

Baby rice has no nutritional value and is outdated advice, porridge is a better alternative once baby is 6 months. Also no solids should be given to a baby until at least 6 months unless medically advised. Hungry babies under 6 months just need more milk.

I’d speak to your midwife or health visitor; purées and things like baby rice (though the latter doesn’t have any real nutritional value, sadly) are suggested from 4 months for babies with a medical need and food from 6 months+ x

I’m at breaking point..

Any advice will be appreciated pleaseee.
My son has always woke up throughout the night (I know this is normal for newborns and even now at nearly 15 months) BUT.. usually when he wakes up I can re settle him. I put him in our bed and he’ll go back to sleep, although after 11pm he’ll never sleep back in his cot. But the past month he’s been waking up inconsolable for a good hour, arching his back and just in tears. I’ve tried so many different things, I’ve even gone to the GP who didn’t know what else to suggest and has referred us to a paediatrician but it’s a 3 month wait.
Has anyone else had this please?
I did originally think maybe night terrors but im unsure. No teeth are coming through either so im just besides myself.
He’s also not too happy in the day, he isn’t the happiest baby (which makes me feel like a bad mum and like I’ve done something wrong, but I think it’s just his personality).

But please can someone recommend something or tell me they’ve had this happen too and it does get better because I’m at breaking point.
Every night I just pray tonight will be the night he’ll sleep through or even for more than just 3 hour stretches but it never is

Changing/bathing in front of the child

Hello mammas,

I need your advice. I have a boy and he is 1 year and 2 months old. My husband works 12 hours a day and I have no family or friends nearby, since we moved when my boy was 1 month old. Due to this, I am taking showers or changing in front of him. I cannot do this while he is sleeping, as in the second i leave the bed, he wakes up instantly.

Untill what age can I still do this in front of him, without damage? I would hate to have mommy issues or God knows what because I want taking showers with him

Anyone else get annoyed?

When your baby is unsettled and hysterical crying and everyone tries to take over in settling him, then be hero like when he does. Makes me feel like a failure

How do I get a velcro/high needs baby drowsy but awake at bedtime?

I normally rock my 11 week old or put him on my chest to get him into a deep sleep and then place him in the crib. But I now want to teach him to self soothe.

Engorgement

5 days postpartum and my milk came in. I’m extremely engorged and painful. What has helped for you guys to reduce pain? I think I’m giving up breastfeeding, I can’t live like this.
