Health anxiety

It get worried about my daughter being ill. And I also get anxious when I’m sick because mom guilt kicks in when I’m too poorly to care for my daughter and I also worry I’m going to pass anything on to her.

She’s 18 months old and I’m so done with feeling this way.

Have you had this and if you have, how have you managed to get over this?

Big baby comments

My 3 month old son is on the 99th centile for both his height and weight (I'm 6ft and his dad is 6ft5) and we seem to get lots of comments from people about it.. (he's a bruiser/chunk/big boy ect.) I've always had trouble with body image and I don't know if I'm just being overly sensitive but I feel a pang of sadness whenever someone says a comment about his size... What are some good comebacks to say when people make these comments, without being rude or confrontational

Formula advice

My babies 4 months old and currently on Kendamil but is drinking 210ml bottles every 2-3 hours sometimes every hour an half he’s also had so skin issues like eczema and spits up quite often this only appeared when I changed from aptamil to Kendamil when he was a few weeks old.

Has anyone else experienced skin issues with kendamil also has anyone ever used hungry baby formula?

I’m trying to decide if I should swap him over onto another brand 🙂

Milton sterilising tablets

Hey, I’ve gone out today to buy a cold water steriliser and Milton tablets. I’ve just seen that they’ve changed guidance and that the bottles now need rinsing after sterilising? But I was told I didn’t need to rinse? Very confused 😅

It says on the packet to rinse using drinking water. Im based in the U.K. so would tap water be ok?? Chatgbt says to rinse with cooled boiled water 😅

I bought this for ease as my current steriliser was too small for the amount of bottles we use

Private parts

Soo, my five year old foster kiddo has been with us for about three months now and he is constantly grabbing his penis to the point he makes it hard. I haven't had to deal with this ever, so I'm not quite sure how to handle it. I've tried telling him he can only touch it when he's alone, going to the bathroom, or washing it, but he hasn't stopped. I don't want to shame him over something that's natural, but I also don't want him grabbing himself in front of people. Help!

Putting baby to bed - husband

I every night put my baby to bed whether she’s kicking off or not…. Am I wrong for saying to him to be quiet after I put her to sleep and actually listen to me I am uptight about it but I’m the one that has to go and sort her out not him… I explained to him that if you get the full 8 hours sleep and not wake up with her and I’m always the one then yes you should be the quietest person ever when she’s been put to sleep….. he’s wanting his mate round to have a shower and I said I don’t want him to have one as he’ll wake up the baby and I’m the one that’s got to sort her out….
He told me I’m being too much and always do this but I value the time I have once she’s been put to down for bed…….. I’m fed up with feeling like I’m bloody crazy…. For saying be quiet and to tiptoe around… but it’s true one slight noise and she’s up!!!!!!
