Vaccines in heat wave

My little one is due his 16 week vaccines on Thursday when it says it’s going to be 34 degrees. I’m petrified of him having them in that heat as I am a heath anxiety sufferer but when I called the GP to move it they said they don’t have any available appointments for at least 4 weeks so now I’m really stuck on what to do.. help please 🥲

Scared about nursery

Almost 1yo starts settling into nursery this week. She’s mostly contact naps and breastfeeds a few times during the day.

I’m scared she’ll struggle to sleep, or won’t eat much and be hungry, or will feel abandoned. I feel horrible. I spent most of my mat leave struggling and now that it’s time for it to end, I feel so sad about leaving her.

Any advice?

Getting a haircut when exclusively breastfeeding

So I'm a new Mum and I am DESPERATE for a haircut. I was meant to get one before my baby was born but baby decided to make an early appearance. My hair is now 2 months overdue for a cut and it really shows 😭 I've been struggling with my appearance since having a baby and I feel anxious about going out. Does anyone have any tips on how to handle a hair appointment with a baby and breastfeeding?

Breastfeeding

I’m currently 6 weeks and 4 days postpartum with my second. I am currently EBF which in term of milk supply and latch is going well. I struggled a lot with my first and was excited to BF my second. I am now 6 weeks in an feel like I’m not enjoying it as much as I should/thought to the point I want to stop/combi feed. However even when I think about giving her a bottle i feel super guilty and feel like I should BF instead. I also get very paranoid as to whether she is getting enough milk and constantly checking the heaviness of her nappies etc. My head is a little bit of a mess about whether to continue as it’s going better then with my first but also not enjoying it but struggling to even think about giving it up HELP. Like I want to stop but don’t want to stop
