Yes, absolutely! Between 6-8 weeks is normal for social smiles. What a cutie ❤️

Totally normal from what I’ve seen with my 6 week old. He’s been proper smiling all these past 3 days. Like when I’m interacting with him in that smiley baby voice he then starts smiling as a response. I never knew it could start this soon.

Emotionally drained

I don't understand why my daughter is so evil and negative 24/7 unless she is begging for something. That's the only time she smiles and is happy for a second. Im literally literally so tired of it. I don't want her around me anymore. I've been crying all day because I genuinely don't know what to do with or for her anymore.. I just need someone to talk to, other than the ones that knows me or her. Because they just don't get it or understand it. They brush it off and I'm literally drained with her.

Doctor made me uncomfortable

My husband slipped down the stairs while holding my daughter last week so we took her to the doctor to be checked. She had a little rug burn on her forehead but was perfectly fine and her normal happy self. Because it was a last minute visit we didn’t see our regular doctor & this doctor checked her thoroughly… including the inside of her vagina.. I’m not wrong for being uncomfortable with this right? My daughter is 10 months old and this is the first doctor to do this and when I said “why hasn’t anyone else done this?” she goes “oh uh good question”..

Breast feeding AND bottle?!

Heyy mama’s, I need some help or advice or even some experience. I’m expecting in about a month and my husband wants to help with feeding so I’m not getting up every 2 hours. I am going to be breast feeding and pumping as well and he wants to help bottle feed (breast milk) in-between so I can get a bit of sleep. Do you think bottle feeding might make the little one not want to breast feed? Does it usually work out to do both? Should I avoid mix feeding? Not too sure what to do..!

Breastfeeding at night

My baby is exclusively breastfed, but is still waking every 2/3 hours in the night. Should he be going longer through the night?

Any tips to help me get him to do longer stretches at night time?

On edge

I really feel like I’m on the edge of a mental break down, my newly 2 year old has always been a hard baby but she’s an even harder toddler, never keeps still can’t take her absolutely anywhere, has tantrums that last hours and start from the absolute second she’s awake
I’m just at a loss with her behaviour it’s impossible she screams all day long nothing pleases her
What the fuck am i doing so wrong that my child is so unbelievably unhappy around me
Im so depressed and have daily headaches from the screaming for 6 hours a day
