Crying

Anyone else’s baby cry inconsolably every time they are awake? I’ve been to the doctors and we are looking at CMPA or silent reflux? But I can’t take it anymore :( it’s so sad hearing her cry all the time and it sends me crazy

Yes mine, and shes awake all the time, constantly fights sleep And she won't go to sleep unless my nipple is in her mouth she comfort sucks all night as soon as I take it away she wakes up and screams bloody murder 😭 the health visitor said I need to break the connection but I cant function on any less sleep and this is the only way I can get a few broken hours. Shes only 5 weeks old I feel like im losing it 😔

I managed to keep her quiet for an hour or so in a baby carrier today walking around. But that could have been a fluke. One day she likes something the next she changed her mind. So as soon as I think I found something that works and it gives me a little hope the next day its gone again

Lopsided!

My LG only feeds from my right boob - I’ve been told by the Breastfeeding Network that this is perfectly normal which is fine. I try to pump from the left occasionally but I don’t always get round to it… now I’ve noticed that my right boob is bigger than my left (which makes sense) but does this mean I’m permanently lopsided?! Will pumping more even then out? Will it be even out when I start weaning?

Crawling?

My 6 month old is having a hard time. He is trying to crawl but he doesn’t push up on his arms. He uses his legs but not his arms. Anyone have any tips on how to help him?

Rookie mistake today, my kids are far more wise than me.

I did my daughters hair this morning, a cute little updo style with multiple little braids conjoining, anyways I used those tiny rubber bands and by the time we were in the school drop off line they had all broken because of the hair products I used I guess have oil that disintegrates rubber🫠 then when I was ranting and throwing a little hissy fit my kid just says “it’s ok nothing lasts forever”

Car seat? Help!

Hiya, I’ve slowly started buying things for baby (finally- due Oct 9). We got our pram second hand and know we need to get a new car seat. Does anyone have a recommendations? I don’t know where to start. I think I want one with an isofix base so can turn baby either way and I’ve heard they’re easier to deal with.
Thanks!

Weight loss

Anyone have any tips on how to not loose a ton of weight breastfeeding. I’m trying my hardest but not having cravings anymore. Makes it hard to eat. I’ve gone from 1:30 to 1:05 and I hate it so much. I don’t know what to do but I’m not gonna stop breast-feeding just so I can keep weight.

Activities with a 3 week old

Hey Guys!

My little girl is 3 weeks old. I have no idea what activities I should be doing with her. Is it normal that her wake windows usually only last the amount of time of nappy change, bottle and burp?

The Health Visitor has mentioned Tummy Time, but she doesn't seem to be awake long enough to do this.

Any advice?
