Flat head fix?
Hi!! I need help fixing my baby girls flat head. It’s not fully flat but it is from one side and I feel like I’ve done everything. I don’t want her wearing a helmet just yet because I want to give it a shot before she needs to wear it. Any tips to help with flat head?
What I do :
Tummy time
Naps are on sides
A round pillow
Try to baby wear around house

Turn her head at night whenever you can if she's favoring laying a certain way. That was what my pediatrician recommended i do
Tummy timeeeeeee
How old?
Baby chiro asap
I took my daughter to her doctor for the same reason at around 9 months and she advised to do all your doing. Now she sleeps mostly on her front and side and is mobile, so it sorted itself, so try not panic too much. I’m not sure where you’re based but she advised helmets aren’t something they advise in the UK x
My LO is also 3 months and a little flat on one side of the head. Since her 2 month well visit her peds recommended increasing frequency or tummy time. Before then we’d be doing own a couple times a week. Now we do it a couple times a day for a few minutes. Just until she gets fussy and angry about it, lol

How are we dealing with creepy neighbours?
Only lived at my address for 5 months, I can’t go into detail of everything that’s happened with this 1 neighbour because it’s too much 🤣 but basically he’s weird and creepy as f*. He’s wanting too much information about my toddler, i am 4 weeks pp and haven’t answered the door once (since giving birth) to his parcels being left here or him ringing my bell. I feel like I’m being a bad neighbour but he’s just too much. I don’t want to stand at my door having the same repetitive conversation of him delving too much into my life, while I have a baby and a toddler now to watch.
Also my dog only barks at him…
He stares into my window every time he walks by (he lives right next door) honestly I wish I could spew every encounter I’ve had with him here but it’s too much 🤣😅 anyway - how do I stop feeling like a nasty neighbour? I don’t want him to hate me incase he is a psycho and tries anything but I also don’t want him to speak to me…

How long did your breastfed baby take to get back to birth weight?
I have just had my 5 day appointment and my baby has dropped 9%. I've been booked for a reweigh on Monday and told if she's lost more we will be sent to hospital. I said that's fine but I will refuse any feeding plan as I was put on one last time ( triple feeding) and it made my daughter projectile vomit and my mh plummet. She then asked if I had through about pumping and I said no I won't be pumping 5 days PP and 1 day after my milk has come in. Honestly the whole appointment has left me so angry at the pressure they put on us to get back to birth weight in 10 days. My partner also said she was weighed wearing a hat and blanket ( I had a c section so couldjt se)

No poo for 6 days.
My hasn’t had a poo for almost 6 days now. He’s mostly breastfed and once in a while on formula. Have spoken to health visitor but was adviced to
Monitor. I’ve also done lots of exercises with my baby like bicycle ride and tummy massage but nothing. His tummy is soft and winds a lot but no poo yet. Should I still be worried ? Almost 7 weeks

Colostrum
How much colostrum should I bring with me to the hospital? I’ve got about 20ml but don’t want to take all of the syringes with me as I know I won’t use them all. Thank you 😊

Contact napping
For those who have largely contact napped - when did you realise baby no longer wanted a contact nap anymore and started to put them down?
