I had this happen at the start. I would be stressed out after a while. They say the babies can feel the energy and if your mom is calmer in that moment it makes sense they calm down.
It doesn’t mean they don’t want to be with you or you are failing. You are learning. I am too still with my 4 week old. Just try to bring calmer energy and it helps so much

Did you know that this happens to a lot of new mums? Baby can smell your milk, even if youre not breastfeeding and as soon as they smell it.. they want it. Its a bit like being able to smell your favourite dinner cooking and not being able to taste it.

You are doing nothing wrong, you just smell good! Its a phase and it will pass soon 🥰 babies are frustrating sometimes but it wont be long before you realise and she shows you that you are EVERYTHING. Promise!

Unpopular opinion 👀

Baby sleep consultants have made an industry out of exhausted mums wanting a ‘fix’ to their babies sleep, even though there’s no such thing

Prams !!

Currently 22/40 with our first baby!! We plan on having 2 under 2, would it make sense to purchase a double stroller to avoid a secondary cost with the second bay?

How many words does your 15MO say?

This post is not to put anyone or their baby down especially if that baby is having difficulties I’m just curious how many words other children My daughter‘s age are saying because she surprises me. She’s been saying words since she was about 2 1/half months old it started with little words like go out dad mama and she’s already at the point where she’s repeating random words out of nowhere I didn’t think kids started doing that till they were a bit oldershe says far more than 25 words at this point I couldn’t even name them all and like I said every day she says something new she repeats words out of nowhere and I didn’t think a kid that young really started repeating repeating words, unless they’ve sat down and it’s been worked with saying that word but she’ll just say things out of nowhere. She’s already starting to try to put two words together and at her doctors appointment yesterday her doctor told me that that’s actually a skill for two-year-olds what do y’all think and how much is your 15 month old saying?

Nappies

How many roughly are we taking to hospital?

Sick note due to mental health

Hi everyone,
I am currently almost at the end of my 2nd months of fit note due to mental health, this is the first time going 2 months and above . Now i am thinking of getting a 3rd fit note due to the fact i feel i still not all that strong to resume work. My question now is, do gp give you a 3rd one which makes it 3 months of being off from work or it s not allowed?

Nappies abroad

I’m going to Benidorm in a month, I don’t know if I’m better off taking enough nappies with me, or do supermarkets usually have over there ?
Thank you
