Schedule a pediatrician appointment or talk to them at your next one. It's entirely normal, but a pediatrician appointment might help sooth some of your anxiety. If it's not just normal spit up, it sounds like reflux to me, so my tips are to try to feed him as close to upright as you can, and sit him up after he eats and keep him sitting up for roughly 30min to an hour. Also, I think there are some medications your pediatrician can prescribe for him if you think it's that bad but I'm not sure

If formula fed, it could be wrong teat size. We kept trying to upgrade to the next size as recommended but every feed she was being sick.
6oz every two hour is also a lot, I would recommend stretching it out another hour, that could a factor. It could be too much, remember a baby’s stomach is about the size of an egg. Baby’s at 5 months should be having five feeds of 6oz bottles in a 24 hour period.
Reflux is normally major amounts and therefore baby struggling to put weight on.

Does it drive you crazy wheb someone is talking on the phone using earbuds instead of holding the phone to their ear or on speaker?

It looks like they are talking to themselves at first.

Outfit and nappy changes

Desperate for some advice, my little boy is turning 1 next week and for the last 3-4 months nappy and outfit changes have been so difficult. He hysterically cries and screams and constantly wants to roll over to get up. I’ve tried different distractions / toys and occasionally they help or sometimes they make the situation worse. It’s becoming hard to change him in public too. I keep thinking he’s going to grow out of it but it’s been a few months now and if anything it’s gotten worse 🥲

How do you reprimand your baby and help them understand “no” ?

FTM, I have an almost 7 month old and I can tell she is starting to test her new skills and testing my limits as well. She will deliberately do something and look at me and wait for a reaction. If she is doing something wrong or unsafe I’ll tell her “no” and to “stop” with a more serious tone of voice and she literally laughs at me😭…EVERY TIME! I don’t know how to get her to understand that when mommy is trying to help you or tell you something that is wrong you cannot just LAUGH at her IN HER FACE😭😂😂😂kinda joking but kinda serious lmao any suggestions?

Circumcision Issue

I didn’t circumcise my son, but lately he’s been saying it hurts when I clean him. It’s very tender, and the skin doesn’t pull back at all.

I don’t force it, but even trying gently seems to bother him. Now I’m starting to consider if circumcision might be needed for medical reasons.

Just trying to do what’s best for him. Any parents deal with this before?
