The triggering topic of jabs!

Just want to get everyone's opinions on jabs for their babies. I would never personally attack someone for their decision but I find whenever I post about this topic I always get personally attacked for having a different perspective. For reference, we as a family don't have them through personal choice, and children are thriving and hardly ever get sick!

In law anxiety

I’m a FTM and since my LO was born (he’s 10 weeks currently) my MIL has insisted that she wants to spend the night with him, and keeps saying ‘you can leave him with me, just give me some bottles’. I’m no longer expressing and only direct BF and I have also told her that I am not comfortable yet with my baby spending the night away from me. I have also told her I am no longer expressing so that wouldn’t be an option anyway. I just can’t seem to wrap my head around why she would assume I would be comfortable being away from my baby so soon. Its giving me anxiety that if and when I decide to wean my baby that she will expect me to be okay with this and I still don’t think i’ll be comfortable with this in the future. Has anyone else experienced this?

Collecting colostrum

I’m 37 weeks and have been advised by the midwife to collect colostrum if I can - I’m only managing to collect a few droplets if that, is there anything I can do to help produce more?

Also can I express at night leave in the fridge then express throughout the next day (not going over 24 hours) then freeze safely?

Thanks in advance!

Just wondering 😁

What’s the difference between a tantrum and a meltdown?

Baby still waking every 2 hours needing resettling - should we ditch dummy?

Hi all, since 4 months my baby still wakes every 1.5-2 hours crying and needing the dummy. Should we go cold turkey and get rid? Anybody else in the same boat?

Let’s talk dummy’s✨

I’d love to know people’s opinions on dummy’s, me personally I do not have a “crying” baby, she’ll cry if I miss her cues but that’s very rare as I know her all too well!! I think it’s each to their own, your going to mother your child the way you want to, and I respect that. But I do think dummy’s are a form of lazy parenting. Your baby doesn’t cry for no reason… what’s everyone’s opinions?
