All my kiddos are immunised and my youngest won't be any different

I prefer my little one not to get seriously ill or die from preventable disease. Measles are beginning to become an issue in the UK again because so many people aren't getting their kids vaccinated.

I’m anti vax for myself but I’m an adult and I can take those risks, my boys vaccinated and will be until he can make the decision himself. I really wasn’t sure about what to do but that’s what we decided

I always get them vaccinated. We are lucky to live in a country where we can prevent our children from getting horrid diseases.

A short term pain for them for long time protection. As others have said, there are some serious disease outbreaks which are likely to do with people not being immunised. Also agree that we are incredibly lucky that we have the option.

I think as their parent, make what you feel is the best decision for your children. The internet isn’t always the best place to find balanced information, and ultimately the decision is up to you, not us. Good luck!

it's just shocking this is a debate im sorry. do you have any idea how many babies and children used to die before vaccines? how low the average life span was because you were lucky to even make it into adulthood? how many times families had to bury their babies because you would almost certainly lose at least one? if your child is unvaccinated and safe, you're benefiting from everyone else. you're piggybacking off herd immunity while refusing to contribute. im sorry but it's so insulting to our ancestors and the horrific, tragic loss that you had no choice but to risk with every baby you had, to have PROTECTION against that loss and refuse to take it. there's no excuse for choosing to both ignore healthcare advice and then also the science behind it. you want to have questions about vaccines, research the science and answer them, don't put your babies and ours at risk because you don't know what your doing.

sorry but im really tired of having to act like being antivax for children is okay. it's not.

👜✨ Show Me Your Changing Bags! ✨🍼

What changing bags is everyone using for their little ones? Especially those formula feeding!

I’ve got the one that came with his travel system, but I’m fancying a new one — looking for something stylish but practical! I’d love to see what everyone else is using! 🤍

Fed up

My 16 month old is only waking twice a night but for both those time she is suckling on me for 40 minutes and then I can’t transfer her to the cot so I’m in there for nearly an hour and then have to end up getting my husband to come in when she’s asleep enough to pass her to him, within 10/15 minutes of being in there he gets her down

I know two wake ups isn’t bad but being in there for so long is killing me and then because I’m so awake after that it’s really hard to get back to sleep.

The only answer is to stop the nursing back to sleep but she cries so much I can’t handle it, a few minutes feels like a life time 😩 I feel so trapped and fed up this is so so hard. I can deal with multiple wakes if she goes back down easily but this is torture
I wouldn’t even mind co sleeping but our bed is way too high and our mattress is very soft so it’s not safe and whenever we’ve tried anyway she just gets wide awake and thinks it’s play time 🤦🏻‍♀️

Second Night Syndrome!

Omg I read about this but my second night at home with a newborn I’ve never experienced exhaustion like it. Last night in hospital I was in a different headspace and there was lots of support available at night. I’ve gone home today and my baby has been on my boob for hours. I’m sore, she won’t be laid in her crib and I’m struggling to my eyes open. When will this phrase be over and any suggestions on helpful strategies?

Awake until 1am!

Anyone else’s little one just come alive at night time? I’m absolutely exhausted to the point I’m falling asleep during feeds. She sleeps most the day and then come evening she is wide awake, I don’t get her down until 1/2am every single night where she sleeps until 5:30am. From 6pm-1/2am it’s just constant feeds back to back and being very alert/fussy.

Any tips? Please tell me I’m not alone🤣🤣

Moving to own room

Have we put our babies in their own rooms yet?? I know it’s recommended around 6 months but I don’t feel ready yet. Can someone educate me on why we are supposed to do it at this age??
