Ouch! Maybe ring a dentist and see if they will see him? Looks like he has split his lip frenulum
My little girl split this part of her mouth when she was a bit younger, it heals really quickly, we took her to A&E cos we were scared but they were like it’s going to heal itself so it he’s okay in himself then he’ll be fine, you can take him to the doctors for check if your worried tho
My son did the exact same thing when brushing his teeth, it will heal my itself just keep an eye on it to avoid infection and maybe get some bonjela to numb it if it’s painful for him 🙂

Been starving my baby 😭
Currently in hospital staying overnight in the children's ward because my daughter born on Monday had her 3 day check yesterday and she's lost 15% of her body weight 😭
With my son i had to express for 8 weeks due to flat nipples so I totally expected that this time too but for her first feed she latched perfectly and pulled them right out doing a full 15 minute feed! She struggled a bit more in the later hospital feeds but I was told its just likely due to tiredness from birth.
Midwife came on Wednesday and I asked if I should maybe add some bottles cause i feel like baby cant be getting much milk because shes very on and off doing very short feeds and she cries a lot and they said its normal and just sounds like cluster feeding and I shouldn't be expressing or adding bottle before 3 weeks plus since shes having wet and dirty nappies shes fine.
But then when another midwife came Thursday they weighed her and said she'd gone from 8lb 10oz at birth down to 7lb 6oz and they watched her feed and said I needed to give her a bottle immediately then called paediatrics who asked for me to bring her in...
They did a blood test and it came bad that her sodium and potassium levels were really bad and she needs to be admitted and I have to express at least 60ml every 2 hours for her to be bottle fed with.
I feel awful about it and I'm so worried about her, feeling guilty that my sons at home worried about us both, I'm worried about how to handle feeding back home too. I started off saying I dont mind expressing cause I did for my son and then when he was 8 weeks old we just switched to breastfeeding when he was stronger no issue and the staff were all really surprised saying thats super unusual and if im switching to expressing and giving bottles for several weeks they can't see me being able to go back to breastfeeding as babies typically develop a preference for how much easier the bottles are. I had no issue switching my my son like I said so its blown my mind!
Of course id rather she was fed but still now im worried we wont be able to switch back and I just feel so panicked about so many things rn...

Scared of losing bond with my baby after daycare starts
13months. Going to daycare in about a month, and I already am not the favourite parent, she only wants me for comfort and bedtime. All about hubby during the day to play - when she was younger, she screamed at me all day but only smiled for her dad. I only got smiles like 9 months onwards.
She loves MIL more than anyone right now- at her baptism and various other special occasions I wanted to share with her, she was throat punching me to jump out of my arms into MIL’s arms. Our photos together at these events are all forced, and she’s crying. All her special moment photos are with MIL. To be fair, she doesnt want hubby either when MIL is around lol.
I am scared that when I start work and she goes to daycare, we will have even less time and she will care about me even less.
Anyone else deal with this? Daycare and already not being the favourite parent? My heart is crushed every weekend, when she spends time with my hubby and MIL. She doesnt look for me, and if I leave and come back she barely acknowledges when I return. My heart is already breaking

Sleep regression
Hi has anyone got any tips of making their babies sleep past 5am? Currently breastfeeding my 14 week old, we do the whole bath, feed and bed routine.
He has his bath around 8pm, and usually fed and asleep by 8:45/9pm - in his next to me.
After this he wakes up at 1am for a feed and will go back to sleep but it takes around an hour to settle him back down again in his next to me. He then wakes up again at 4, will fall asleep on me and then wakes up again from 5am, and just refuses to go back to sleep.
My partner has left us so I’m currently doing it all on my own, any advice would be great fully appreciated, just need abit more sleep!
