August 6th here! lol congratulations momma. I’m currently breastfeeding and I say use the lanolin FR in between feeds and don’t let the baby sit on ur nipples for more than 20/30 mins bc that probably means youre not producing enough yet anyway so youre just being sucked raw😭😓 that was my mistake.

lol sending alllll the prayers babe. Be gentle to yourself and with yourself. If her diaper was wet enough for you to change it then AWESOME 👏🏾 we got this!!

Sterilising bottles

How long did you continue to sterilise bottles? NHS advice says 12 months.

Thinking more towards the cold water steriliser method as can't self sterilise bottles we're using in microwave

Vaccines

How do you moms feel about the vaccines we have to give our babies? i have a newborn son and my daughter is 2 i got my daughter most of her vaccines that are required but now im seeing on social media that some vaccines can be harmful to babies cause of heavy metals which can cause autism. my son only got the Hep b and vitamin k at the hospital and he seems fine but im scared to get anymore vaccines after seeing all this stuff on social media. I dont know maybe im overthinking.

Night feeds

My baby is 4 months old and wakes up twice in the night for a bottle. When he wakes up for a feed, he is very impatient and won’t wait for me to make him a bottle (I am formula feeding). He is perfectly fine as soon as the bottle is ready and he is being fed. Can anyone suggest anything I can do as it stressing me out

No school till 5

So I’ve seen things online of people saying your child doesn’t have to be in school till term after 5th birthday.. so my daughters birthday is December. Does that mean I can register her to start September.. but up till January. She can have random days off here/ there without being fined? (Uk)

When can I go for a bath

I got told I couldn’t go for a bath after my c-section but they never told me when I can go back in one and I’ve been dying to do in a bath that’s hot as being pregnant stops you from having roasting hot baths can anyone help me on finding out when I can go in a bath
