Is is me or is there a complete lack of check ups on babies in the NHS?!

Little bit of a rant but to me it seems absolutely crazy that if nothing seems wrong with your baby, theres no check up till a year old? If you dont book appointments no one actually checks on your baby. Not even just a wellbeing check on them. As a first time mum just blows my mind.

Administering calpol

My baby has just had his 8 week jabs and I have tried to give him calpol via syringe but he has spit/dribbled it all out. Any advice on administering it?

💔

I just don't think im meant for motherhood.
I had my first child when I was 23, Mentally ill and undiagnosed. And I really struggled. But I had a village so it wasn't so bad. Me and his Dad split before he was 1 but he still helped me so much and we co raised him till a few years ago. Our son now lives with him the majority of the time.
Since then I've been diagnosed and worked on my self. I can control my mental illness a good majority of the time.
I thought I could handle having a baby. And after lots of loss we had our baby last year. And I've managed really well till the last few days. His whinging, crying and screaming has been relentless. And I do manage about 6/7 hours before I feel so overwhelmed I could cry. By the time Dad's home from work I'm ready to just go to sleep.. I just feel like I'm doing a really bad job and I don't have a Villiage this time either. And I don't know the point of this post I just needed to vent ❤️

Would you be okay with a 3.5yo going 6hrs without a nappy change? (Assuming no 💩)

Considering how to manage it when she starts school, they’re fine for me to come in and change her midday and will contact me if she needs a 💩 change, but I’m worried that leaving her twice a day will just upset her more because she might think I’ve come to take her home! And driving back and forth to school 3x a day will be a lot for me. I usually aim for a change every 4hrs but she’ll easily go much longer without a change on a normal day if we’re out and about and never been bothered about it or caused an issue, but I don’t know if the teachers would judge me if I suggested not coming in to change her midday. Is 6 hours bad? It probably won’t even be wet by midday tbh!

(Pls don’t vote if you only have a young baby who needs changing super regularly! She doesn’t wee every 5 minutes like a baby 🙈)

Co sleeping

This morning I coslept with my baby. I wanted a bit more sleep as she woke up at 5 and she wouldn’t let me put her down. I moved the duvet out of the way and moved all of the pillows except one for my head which was well away from her head(I put it vertical under me rather than horizontal) I slept in the c curl with my arm above her head straight and both my knees curled up under her. Did I do anything wrong? Also? Is there any tips to maybe get her to sleep better in her Moses basket in the morning as I don’t want to have to rely on this every morning.
