General Anesthesia

Hello all! My son is 3 1/3 and yesterday morning he had a procedure done where he needed general anesthesia, he needed caps on his teeth. Since then, he seemed okay after the first few hours but then night fell, and he has been up every couple hours crying saying his tummy hurts and of course in turn I have gotten no sleep either. We have children's Tylenol, I gave him one dose a few hours after but he refuses anymore. He's had soft foods, yogurt, cottage cheese, oatmeal, smoothie and lots of water and Pedialyte. I don't know what else to do. He is asleep right now but I know when he wakes he's not going to be feeling good and I am at a loss of what else to do to help him... I feel horrible and I just have little patience left and I feel so bad about that. Is there anything else I can do or does any moms know how much longer this type of lingering pain lasts?

Genuinely confused🥴

My relationship with my MIL is really confusing. I got pregnant pretty quickly into my dating my husband, and she was excited through my pregnancy, but kept making comments to my husband about being in the delivery room.

When I gave birth, she drove 3 hours and tried to get in, but my mom and husband didn't let her in while I was in labour. Literally 8 hours after, she showed up in the hospital room to meet the baby. My baby was struggling with latching at that point, and she offered to "help" and grabbed my boob before I could say anything. I'd also ended up having an episiotomy and forceps delivery, so there was still literal blood and poop leaking out of me. She spent the rest of that visit filming a video holding and talking to my daughter.

I moved on cos I had a baby to focus on. My husband and I moved in with my parents temporarily as we'd just moved cities, but the whole time we lived there she would tell my husband that he's not a "man" because he's not providing (he is now and suddenly she's so proud🥴). She'd also make shady comments to me, and try to tell me about what I should and shouldn't do for my baby and this included things I strongly disagree with. She would compare her access to my baby, even though we lived with my parents and she lived hours away. My husband spoke to her even though he didn't understand the issue, and she stopped making comments to me.

The biggest issue for me is that she has always smoked during visits with my baby, and even once around my baby. I have made my husband tell her to stop three times, and each time, she'll stop for the next visit and then carry on smoking from the following visit. Even worse, my husband quit smoking since we had a baby, but on each visit, she still offers him a pack of cigarettes.

She has also been asking about when my daughter can sleep at her's since she was born, she's 12 months old now and I've never let her sleep over, but it's caused a lot of tension between me and my husband. I just don't think that she would respect other boundaries I might set.

Besides that, she's started being really nice, so I worry that im just overreacting or something. What do you think?

If you have any advice for me, I'd really appreciate it.

What to do 😩

My daughter is a side sleeper. I put her down on her back every single time and she rolls onto her side and will fall asleep. She's never rolled over onto her tummy yet but I'm paranoid waiting for the day she can and I won't sleep again until she can fully hold her head up 😩😩😭😭 she's 2 weeks and 5 days old.

I've tried constantly moving her back onto her back, every single time she moves onto her side or fusses until I let her. Once she's on her side she'll drift off into a peaceful sleep. I'm forever constantly checking her to see if she'a breathing or rolled onto her tummy and gotten stuck.

The picture is of the position she will get herself into every time. With her hand under her head. I'm lost for ideas please help 😭😩

Wake windows

How long are your babies up for between naps? My bubs can probably do 1hr - 1hr 45 max but will only have 30-45 min solo nap or up to 3 hours contact. I’m trying not to focus on wake windows much but interested to know. My boy is 9 weeks now, 10 next Wednesday

Is thier a sleep regression around 6 months ?

Is this a phase ?

Breastfeeding mamas query

Hey ladies. My baby is now 9 weeks and for the past 5 days my milk supply suddenly became so low. Like the baby feeds but it’s like he finishes the breasts and still seems hungry and I’m not as engorged as I was before. I started pumping to see if that helps and this has been even worse as there’s even less milk left for the baby. Is it normal for milk supply to dip for that long and is there anything I can do to help bring it back up? I’m stressing so much.
