Has anyone chosen not to have their child’s tongue tie corrected?

We’re considering having our daughter’s tongue tie released, but I’m honestly really scared and wondering if we should wait. I’d love to hear from parents who decided to wait, parents who went ahead with the procedure, and how you came to your decision.

If you did have it released, what method was used (laser or scissors/snip), and why did you choose that option? How was your baby’s recovery?

I’ve been trying to do my own research before making a decision, but if I’m being honest, it’s left me feeling even more anxious. I’ve come across stories about babies needing to relearn how to feed afterward, stretches being difficult, and some babies struggling with feeding during recovery. I know every baby is different, so I’d really love to hear real-life experiences from parents who have actually gone through it.

I currently have the procedure booked for mid-August, but I’m wondering if I should delay it until she’s older, or wait and see.

Also, how did you handle very opinionated grandparents or family members? My mom is strongly against the procedure and feels like my daughter is fine. I know the decision is ultimately mine and my partner’s, but it’s hard.

Worried mum 4 month Baby

My baby girl hasn't had a poo for the past 18 days. I've taken her to the GP and they've assessed her thoroughly. They said she's perfectly fine, felt her tummy not hard or anything, and prescribed lactulose, which I've been giving her, but she still hasn't had a poo.

She's feeding really well, has plenty of wet nappies, seems happy, and otherwise looks absolutely fine. The doctor has told me to just keep giving the lactulose because they can't find anything wrong with her.

I also mentioned it to my sister inlaw, and she said it can be normal because sometimes babies use all of the milk they drink, so there's very little waste. That did reassure me a little, but I'm still worried!!!

Every day I keep thinking something might be wrong, even though she seems completely fine. Her farts smell really strong, but she still doesn't poo.

Has anyone else's baby gone this long without a poo? If so, what happened? I'd really appreciate hearing your experiences because I'm feeling quite anxious.

Swaddle sack recommendations

Does anyone have any swaddle sack recommendations?

My 10 week old has outgrown the small Love To Dream swaddle up. He loved it as he could have his hands nearby his face. We’ve tried the medium size but there’s way too much room in the arms - it’s not calming his movements at all and he constantly wakes himself up.

At the moment he’s using a Tommee Tippee Grobag, but his arms tend to fall down in the sack so he becomes uncomfortable and wakes up.

Would be grateful if anyone had any recommendations 🩵

First time mum - 3 week old

My little girl has wake windows lasting longer. What can I be doing with her now? I sing, talk and use black and white cards. I’m just wondering if I should be doing anything else?

Thank you ☺️

Bottle feeding

My little one is 11 weeks old and bottle fed, my health visitor said that she should regularly feed between 3-4 hrs but lately she's been going longer then that despite our efforts, she will just refuse to the bottle. Is this normal? I'm worried this is going to effect her weight gain because she has already dropped a centile recently especially since she doesn't always drink over 100ml

Fussing

My baby is 11 weeks on Saturday.. she used to love contact naps however the last few days she isn’t laying on my chest, she tries face planting my armpit lol, she doesn’t like laying in my arm. It’s pretty much impossible for her to sleep because the only way she does is if she’s in my arms. Anyone else experience/experiencing this ?
If so is it just a phase of fussiness etc??

Any recomendations on what to use for cradle cap on a 6 month old please?

I have used a couple of over the counter ones from boots, the oil and the shampoos and not budging. I have used dentinox and kokoso. Thanks
