Absolutely not, not sure why they would need it. I love the smell of my child. And don’t even wear my own perfume as I don’t want it to transfer and ruin it.

What?!! No definitely not. That’s crazy

Just clothes

😂 For the record, I currently don't. Damn social media had me thinking everyone was using it on their babies😭😂

Baby perfume!? Since when was this even available! I’m actually shocked to hear this or why anyone would want to put it on their child… baby smell is the best! And extremely bad for them if they are inhaling it from us let alone on themselves

My child is over 1

No I stopped wearing perfume when my first was born because I didn't like when he smelled like anything other than his smell. I would never put perfume on a baby/child. I've only worn it a couple of times for a posh day out and he's 21 months old 😆

5 1/2 week old poop

I got this poo from my 5 and a half week told today, should i be worried? there’s like a brownish / blackish / greenish streak through it, never had this before and a first time mum so slightly panicked but trying to be calm🥴

Want to give up baby

I don't think I can do this anymore. 7 month old, always grouchy, sleep is shit, don't feel any love for her. Nothing ever seems to make her content. I've been surviving on 3 hours of broken sleep a night since she was born. No support around. Feel like she'll be better off with a family that actually want her.

Anyone have experience with this? How did you recover and how long did it take?

How often do you and your partner have sex after having a baby? Specially if your baby is coming up to 1?

Crying during feeds

Has anyone had any issues with their little one crying during feeds? My little boy is 7 weeks, and for the past 4 days or so, he’s started to scream cry mid feed - like he’s suddenly in pain. He’s always suffered a bit with gas and wind, but this has never impacted his feeding before. We’re currently trying infacol but it doesn’t seem to be making a difference. He’s also quite hard to burp so I do suspect some kind of wind, but if anyone else has experienced it and has any advice it would be much appreciated 🫶
