Would you go to a family party (a big family party) with a one month old?

I also know someone close had a fever this week so I’m thinking not to go, but everyone seems to think I’m being dramatic?

What do you think of the name Milo?

Big sister is called Lily, baby brother Milo?

nasal congestion every night

My baby is 7 weeks old, and since the 3rd week, their nose has been stuffy in the early mornings. They're not sick, and there's nothing wrong during the day, but their nose gets stuffy around 5 am. Has anyone else experienced this?

Small opening

I’m 8 week PP and there’s still a small bit of my wound that will not fully heal! It’s only surface level but one day it looks like it healing well then the next it’s open again. It’s only a tiny area and I’ve had antibiotics already. I’ll see the doctor about it when they open again next week but has anyone else had this and can give me any tips on helping it heal? Previous advise was let it open to air but that’s really hard while caring for a baby!

Help! Any doctors or nurses here? Retained placenta

I can't get through to 111 and it's bank holiday weekend so won't be able to contact my GP til tuesday.

Long story short, I'm 5 week pp and last Monday I had a huge sudden bleed and lost what I thought was a very big clot but my GP said was retained placenta. He put me on antibiotics and referred me for a scan which isn't until next week. I've just finished the course of antibiotics tonight but the last 3 days I have felt horrendous. My muscles are aching like I have the flu, it's got progressively worse and tonight I am just in so much pain, my whole body feels like it's burning. Is it possible I have an infection even after taking the course of antibiotics? Or is it more likely to be aches from breastfeeding and carrying the baby? I was a bit achey before but this feels different. I haven't got any other cold or flu symptoms. Just these muscle pains and at the end of the day, chills.

Sooo I might have to cancel my daughter first birthday party

It’s kills me bc I’ve literally been fighting for her to have this party and now she won’t even be able to have one just bc we can’t afford anything for a party I’m completely upset

Names from other countries… 🌍

What are people’s thoughts on using names from other countries/cultures when you don’t personally have ties to them?

I’ve fallen INLOVE with the name Rocco for our little boy, but we have absolutely no connection to Italy, where the name originates. My boyfriend’s dark features make him look Italian, but we very much aren’t. We are British. 🤣
I’m currently telling myself that if there are millions of little Luca’s around at the moment, why not Rocco? 😅
