Reflux/ Gas issues

I feel like I’m at a dead end with this. My 7 week old will fuss for hours and bend awfully in my arms and rocker. He’s clearly uncomfortable but I’ve tried everything to help. Sitting him up after feeds, burping every now and then during feeds, belly massages and bicycle runs, gripe water. You name it I’ve done it. It breaks my heart, I hate seeing my baby in discomfort, please say there’s other things I can do :(

Riddle me this…

Has your child or children ever came home from school/ Daycare saying new phrases that they HAD to have learned over there????

For example : my son was playing and he shouts ‘NOT On MY WATCH!’ -randomly.

It was hilarious bc I know exactly which teacher talks like this

Found this super cute dress from the 80s at a local thrift store

There's no care label.
Should I hand wash or risk the machine?

Sleep consultants- are they actually worth it?

For anyone who has had a sleep consultant to help with your babies sleep, I want honest opinions are they actually worth it, or are they a waste of money? I’ve seen that it works for some mamas but then not so much for others but I am really at a loss where to go next and what to do. My 14 month old has never been a great sleeper and if anything we are just constantly going backwards rather than forwards and it’s honestly killing me. It’s affecting my mental/work/physical health. I’m a single mum too so I’m the one who’s surviving on constant broken sleep.

I don’t want to do any harsh methods like cry it out or the Ferber method, so do I get a sleep consultant? I’d love to hear other people’s stories who’s had one and did it honestly help them?

Developing early vs autism?

Hi moms! Little one started getting up on their own at 5 months and at 6 months "walking" holding onto furniture. Please do not think this is bragging at all. Just genuinely wanted to know if this could be linked to autism? I have heard cases where they developed very early and then started declining after the first year.
