The doctor told me you can't circumcise your baby boy with out the vitamin k shot, but I don't want him to have the vitamin K shot, but I do want him to get circumcised.

I’ve heard this a lot. It’s because your child can easily bleed out due to their blood being so thin. So tbh, I wouldn’t even risk getting the circumcision until they’re older. Also, I don’t think many doctors will do it ethically without having the shot. Question, what’s the reason behind not getting it?
Baby can also have vitamin k via 3 oral administrations rather than an injection but many dr’s wont circumcise due to blood being unable to clot and baby will be probe to future clotting disorders
I had a conversation with a pediatrician about this when I was pregnant and we thought it was a boy. I was asking about how they do circumcisions where I live as we had agreed to one and she informed me that they will NOT do them without the Vitamin K shot because off the risk of hemorrhage or bleeding out. You must provide proof to the clinic that you go to of the shot being administered before they will even schedule you.

Spilt Milk
I know how the saying goes, but I am absolutely sobbing.
The jar had around 34 to 36 ounces..
my daughter is going to stay with her father tonight so I worked so hard yesterday to make sure I filled it up and then some, so that she would have what she needed.
We didn’t get good sleep last night. Half asleep this morning I go to fill up a bottle and this happens…
We have some frozen stock but this broke my heart.

Would you correct someone else’s pronunciation for your child? How do you feel about regional/international accents?
I bumped into a mother I know at a coffee shop. I have an unusual accent, because I’m ESL and I immigrated to the UK when I was 14 so I picked up a lot of london pronunciations but I don’t generally have trouble being understood.
Her son doesn’t have any speech issues or anything, he’s got a great vocabulary for 4. He is very friendly so he talks to me when we see them at the park or soft play, and he always seems to understand me.
I was speaking to my child in English and then suddenly I realised the other mother was correcting words I said for her son? I asked my daughter “do you want some water?” which I guess is like dyu wan some wata if I just say it quickly without thinking, and she said quite loudly “we would say WA-TER, do you WANT some WATER” and made him repeat it back twice.
Other words I heard her correct were cloth and cheeky girl, then I started to get self conscious and making an effort to enunciate better. I was so embarrassed, she was speaking quite loudly so she must have known I could hear her. But I like my accent, it still sounds a bit like where I come from. I don’t mind if my daughter hears it and learns it, my heritage is her heritage. We only see this woman occasionally (she’s a bit condescending so I try to avoid play dates) so I doubt my accent is rubbing off on her son.
It’s been a couple days and this is still sitting with me. It feels so out of line to do that in front of the person unprompted. As long as people understand each other, does it matter?

May have said something bad unintentionally
So a few weeks ago I went to see my cousins baby she's now 5 months old I held her once and interacted with her ect then gave her back to her dad they offered me to hold her again
It just came out and I said I'm okay I'm not really a baby person
I know some people love to hold baby's and cuddle but that not really me.
I wish I had t said it now I feel like a knob I just ment that's I was okay not to hold her again and that I would be more interactive once she's a lil older eg sitting up and crawling ect I find smaller babies quiet fragile I was even like this with my own , I didn't mean it wrong , how can I apologize or am I over thinking it
I didn't mean to offend them at all.

How do I go out with my 11 week old?
Everyday I try to go out and there’s always something that stops me. For instance he didn’t sleep well at night or early morning today. He was awake for a couple of hours, so overtired. My mum came to go out but then he finally went to sleep, so we waited for that. He woke up after 30 mins. Then I fed him and he was a bit fussy. He has reflux so needed to burp and hold for 20 mins. Then I went to change his nappy and get him changed into going out clothes. He then brought up all his milk and was crying his eyes out. I couldn’t settle him, by this time it had already been over 2 hours and my mum had to leave. I could only settle him by feeding and now he’s fallen asleep again.
His wake windows are fairly short after I’ve fed for around 30-40mins. I need to burp in between.
Do I just take a crying baby out? He hates the car seat and the pram.
Do you miss naps? I thought an overtired baby doesn’t sleep well at night and that’s already bad.
What do you do? Any advice or tips?
