Unusual behaviour of my 11 week old

Hi my baby is 11 weeks old, she’s a really good sleeper at night (7-9hrs) and is pretty consistent with day time naps as well, she feeds well and is generally pretty content- however today she has been unusually sleepy, quite difficult to wake up and when she’s awake she just screaming and spitting up clear and chunky, she’s been toileting like normal and she’s had most of her feeds but they are taking ages as she just falls asleep whilst feeding (current feed she’s done 1/3 of it and started 45 mins ago and has been asleep for 20 mins) I have taken her temperature and it’s 35.9 so I called 111 and they said she’s awake and looks fine so don’t worry and it could be the start of a viral infection but might be nothing - I’m not happy with this as this is unusual for her but has anyone else had a day like this with their little ones, or do I need to escalate again

Monitor her temp but my son always slept unusually much when it was warm and again when it cooled down. He still does now and he's almost 3. Try keep a log of how much they are eating and when. Eg: Offered 9oz / drank 4oz for example and also log wet nappies and poop. As if she is unwell and you have to take her drs or anything they'll ask all this so it's good to know for sure. And also then you'll know when they're back to normal and taking what they should and when their nappies are normal. It just means they aren't dehydrated if they are weeing enough and frequently enough ect x

Tips for staying awake!

My LO is 9 weeks and suffers from reflux . I’m presently having real trouble trying to keep myself awake for night feeds and then the subsequent burping and keeping vertical for 30 mins after feeding. I just woke to her pretty much throwing up her whole last feed because I did the laid down feed position in bed and then let us both just go straight to sleep without the burping reflux routine. I’m now feeling really guilty. Having to do the whole feed routine again. Just so tired.

Any tips? I usually just scroll on my phone but that doesn’t seem to be cutting it!

I will add, we always ending moving to the spare room around 5 or 6pm which does generally help with this feed time as change of scenery. But I can’t do that every time

Are we having regular sex?

We're averaging 1-2 times per week. What about you? I thought this was normal but my husband just told me we're not having enough sex. We have a 24 month old and a 12 week old I thought we were doing decent considering....am I wrong?
This has been the average since my son was born 2 years ago.

Is this fair?

I have a 4 mth old and a 2 yr old.

I ask my partner to take my 2 yr old out this afternoon just them 2. While I catch up on some sleep with the baby. (Exclusively breastfed)

He says this is unfair as sleeping is my free time? So he should get some free time in return?

8 month olds

My baby will be 8 months at the end of this month and struggling is not the word. All she does atm is cry, and winge and fight. Shes fighting her naps all day long and at bedtime, Theres just a constant crying or winging going on and I really don’t know what to do anymore. I could’ve done everything and she would still be crying. I’m really getting inpatient and struggling because I’m literally shattered, doing it all on my own most days and just feel like it’s gonna be like this forever.

Tongue tie assessment with infant feeding team

Hi ladies,

I had an assessment with the infant feeding team and the result was borderline. They said she had a milky coated tongue at the back and a high palate. Not sure what all this means. My baby hiccups before and after feeds and sometimes the latch is sore but she has been gaining weight steadily so weight isn't a concern. Not sure if it's related but sometimes after a feed she also coughs, maybe this is related to fast milk flow... The team has referred me to the tongue tie team but just not sure or convinced she needs the snip or not. Is it fair to snip if she doesnt really need it? There is no pain relief for the baby so don't want to get it done unnecessarily. Anyone else had a borderline result?
