Lip tie or normal?

I’m starting to question if my baby has a lip tie but as a first time mum not sure if it’s the norm? She clicks whilst drinking bottles and is on reflux medication but nobody’s ever looked at her lips or mouth to check and she’s 3 months old

Please be careful pulling babies lip up that much- the skin there is already very tight and it hurts to stretch it like that. I would say that’s a very obvious lip tie. There’s really no need to worry about a lip tie unless baby is unable to latch or take a bottle. It can lead to speech problems in the future and your baby may need speech therapy but that’s a lot better than cutting into your baby’s mouth. I have a tongue tie and top and bottom lip ties, I had a bit of a speech impediment as a young child and a small lisp that I was able to fix within one or two school years of going to speech therapy.

My son also has the same ties as me and used to click a lot on my boob but I was able to fix his latch early on and he breastfeeds just fine

Breastfeeding in public! How to do it?

Hi everyone! I’m looking for some advice on breastfeeding in public. At the moment, I can only comfortably breastfeed my baby at home using two pillows — one to support his body and another to support his head. He also doesn’t really like the cradle hold, and I’ve tried the koala position but it hasn’t worked for us so far.

I’d really like to be able to breastfeed when we’re out, but I’m struggling to find a position that works without all the pillow support. Has anyone been in a similar situation or found a position that worked well for their baby? I’d really appreciate any tips! ❤️

Circumcision after care

We circumcised our almost 2 week old boy for hygiene reasons yesterday. (Don’t come at me- his dad, my brothers are all circumcised and it’s not for religious reasons).
The surgical team recommended using Sudocreme over the widely-used Vaseline. Three mothers in my circle only used Vaseline. I am worried for the sudocreme, any one used this in the past?
Additionally, washing his privates with water at every nappy change seems too much. Anyone washed your boy after every two nappy changes, what are your experiences?

Nursery clothes

Anyone else feel that nursery’s don’t even attempt just a tiny bit to prevent mess on clothes? I know they’re bound to make mess and when I started my little one I got a load of second hand clothes I didn’t care about with this in mind. 8 weeks later and they’re so stained they’re destined for the bin. What’s the most frustrating is that he is only just turned 1 so it’s not mess from arts and crafts. It’s the general dirt on the floor and food which makes me question if they even put a bib on. Literally stains covering all his t shirts, shorts and socks🥴 like I said I knew it was bound to happen so made sure he never goes in wearing nice clothes but I still have to pay money for what he does wear and it’s frustrating how ridiculously filthy it gets!

First walking shoes

I’m having the biggest stress, my little girl started walking about a week or so ago. When does she need to go to get proper shoes?
I’m taking her to her first football match next Saturday, we aren’t taking the pram so she might walk a little bit if she’s more confident but I’ve been fully shut down by my MIL being told I’m just fussing over it. Does she need some proper walking shoes to go to the football or am I just fussing?
