Shallow latch

My daughter is three weeks old and we are breastfeeding, she has started to try and feed with her lips and not open when enough to get a deep latch- I take her on and off and start again but it’s beginning to become frustrating and I guess it’s mostly to do with positioning.. any tips? Or reasons you think this might be happening?

Vaccines

No judgement please but wanted to get people’s options and any website or medical research about the vaccines for babies. I am really undecided on if I want my little one to have their vaccines. Some of them contain metals which scares me! Any advice would be great

How often are they pooping?

My baby poops once a day or every other day. The doctor says it’s okay but it seems weird to me.

If breastfeeding, do people offer both breasts at each feed or just one?

I am intrigued as to any difference between offering both breasts compared to just one. For no specific reason, ive only ever offered one. My baby feeds a lot and is hungry (and grouchy!). I’m wondering if I should be offering both or if there is little difference!

Need Help!

Hi, I’m a FTM to a 4 week old baby boy. I’m concerned about my baby during evening feeds. In the morning and afternoon he usually only needs 1–2 burps, but in the evening he gets trapped burps after almost every 2–3 sips. He starts gulping the milk quickly, arches his back, breathes fast, cries, and won’t continue feeding until the burp comes out. Milk also leaks from the corners of his mouth while he’s drinking and once he burps, he settles and starts feeding again, but the same thing keeps happening throughout the feed for about 8-10 times in one feed. Does anyone know what might be causing this or has anyone experienced something similar?

Dark under eyes

My toddler is on the spectrum she’s 2 years and a half old for the third time this week she skipped her nap and stayed up from 7:30 to 6:00 6:30 pm but last night she slept from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm so still had a lot of sleep my question is is this normal for her age ? And the darkness under her eye is from lack of proper sleep im assuming ?

Has anyone found a nursing cover they actually like?

I’m looking for one that’s breathable (especially in this heat), easy to use when we’re out and about, and doesn’t make either me or baby feel like we’re hiding under a tent 😅

I’d also love one that actually looks nice rather than being purely practical!

Would love any recommendations or favourite brands!
