My baby boy is 2 weeks old and we took him to the ER because he was having chest retractions and tugging in the throat area as well. He also does a wierd squeaking noise after feeding and when he’s sleeping on his back. Doctor diagnosed him with larygnomalacia and said he’ll outgrow it but I’ve been sick with worry because they didn’t seem to take the retractions seriously since his oxygen is 99%. Has anyone else gone through this with their baby and they ended up being fine? No scary stories plz 😅

My boy is 4 months old!! He was in the NICU for respiratory support, so when he was having retractions and this awful wheezing sound, I took him to the ER. That was a little after 1 month, about 1 and a half months old. They said the same thing, that he should grow out of it and that it’s very common in babies because of soft tissue still developing. Now he’s 4 months old and he doesn’t do it anymore and has zero breathing problems. He smiles and babbles and screeches like a pterodactyl and is the happiest boy! At the end of the day, you are his mama!! You know best. If you feel like there is something wrong, take him back! But in my experience, my baby was okay 🩵

My little one was like this, he just outgrew it he’s now nearly 6 month and hasn’t done it for a good few months now, it is so worrying though!! I had him in a&e so many times took 100’s of videos of his retractions and breathing. It is scary x
How many times a month in the first year postpartum do you and your husband have sex? (Trying to figure out what the normal range is for partners with a baby!)

Some of my daughter's clothes have become so stained and most of these stains have happened while she's been at nursery.
I am struggling so much to get the stains out!
I feel like if I send her in stained clothes I'll be judged or looked at weirdly like I can't afford to clean her clothes or something?
What do you do with stained clothes?
Does anyone have tips for stain removal? Red/orange food (I know sunlight but we're going into winter where it's scarce). Brown knee stains? Just like dirt stains? And yellow curry stains 😣 help me please

This is my 4 year olds bedroom.
Can anyone recommend a bed that would fit in the room but not take all her space ?
She’s 109cm tall not sure if that makes any difference 👀.
She does not have 2 tvs the video was taken whilst re organising😂

If your partner didn’t force you to go to bed at a certain time, but got annoyed if you went to bed before he was ready or wanted to stay down for longer when he wants to go to bed, would that be considered controlling? Seeing as there’s no forcing involved just getting annoyed by it?

I feel like the worlds worst parent.
My baby is 18 weeks old and has become the lightest sleeper. I have tried sleep training, co-sleeping, feeding to sleep, rocking and patting to sleep but he just wakes up as soon as his head hits the crib. I make sure I he not up to long in the day and go over any wake windows and he lets me contact nap or put him in the najel sleep carrier but that doesn’t work at night. I’m not sure if I didn’t put him down enough when he was smaller and that’s had an effect with this now.
I speak to other mums who babies are the same age and they all sleep through the night.
Can any one tell me what I am doing wrong please. This will be week 4 with hardly a sleep now.

My 6 week old is showing signs of colic (inconsolable crying in the evenings for hours, brings his legs up / kicks around a lot, arches back). He doesn’t really show signs of reflux.
He also refuses to lay in his crib or sleep on his back.
I was just wondering what people did to help this and your experiences? Should I get some Infacol?
