My 7 month old hates water, I have tried everything and there is no way he will drink any water at all, just spits it out.
Any recommendation? x

Try a little bit of apple juice just to put a bit of taste to it, my little boy has apple juice with water with his meals and then water through the day in-between bottles, he’s nearly 7 months, and he still eats really well and has all his bottles, but if your unsure just check with a professional as Apple just can ‘clear out’ their bowels too.

Could just be a phase or him getting use to it. He’s still so young so will be getting plenty of milk to keep him hydrated. Feed him foods that have water in too like cucumber and strawberries etc xx

At 7 months water is not too importance, not until he’s having proper meals.
And at that age he might just be like wth this ain’t milk.
Try warm water and see if that helps
I see lots of babies on social media already holding their head and mine only lifts it briefly for a few seconds on tummy time and for a second when holding her upright.
Also she’s not rolling yet.
Just turned 3 months .

I went for my anatomy scan she said baby girl is perfect. But then referred me for a 2nd anatomy scan to check for placental problems. I asked was there signs of any issues and she said it’s just a precaution. But many of my mom friends say they haven’t had to get a 2nd opinion and feel she should have be more straight forward.

Had my growth scan today (38+5 weeks) and baby girl is at a EFW of 8.7lbs 😅 The lady doing the ultrasound was amazed at how big she was asking if she’s previously been measuring big, asking if I have GD (which I don’t), said baby has a chubby belly so my placenta must be doing a really good job, that she’s very very low down, her legs are very very long and said “wow you must be feeling that, this baby is going to be a bruiser”.
Throughout my whole pregnancy she’s been measuring big and I’ve always taken her efw with a pinch of salt as they’re not 100% accurate and have been quite excited to give birth but after the sonographers comments today I just feel so nervous and anxious for labour. I’m in constant pain because of how low she is, my 🐱 has swollen and the lightning crotch is unbearable to walk/sit/lay down. Did anyone else’s baby measure big during their ultrasound appointments? If so, how was it in labour? Will they suggest a c section for me because of her weight? I want to go all natural as I have sciatica so don’t want an epidural incase it messes up my back more and I really want to push.

Hi guys, I was wondering how I’d go about calling the maternity unit at the hospital to let them know I’m in labour in preparation of a water birth. I was told by my midwife to contact them once I start labour but unsure whether I’d call 999 or triage as it wasn’t clear in the conversation.

2nd time mom here I am due and have a consultation for second birth and c section most likely! I am trying to create a list of questions for my dr about 2nd time (my first was emergency so obviously I didn’t have time to ask)… anything you ladies recommend I just don’t know where to start!

I had a vaginal birth but had a second degree tear and also had stitches for a vaginal wall repair. Healing has been sore but i'd say with time has got better but this past week i've had green discharge and it has become uncomfortable, I think from wearing some form of pad for the last 6 weeks as they tend to irritate my skin down there? Though I can't not wear one because of the discharge and occasional lochia etc though that is clearing now.
It is the weekend so I'm stuck until Monday now but is there anything I can do? I'm keeping clean and not using soaps down there etc but I think it might need anti-biotics and I'm not exactly keen on having someone look at it🫠
