Honestly, unless people are immunocompromised, its selfish to not...

My observation, not opinion, is that once you ask that question to yourself and others, there’s no going back.

It’s safe to think that most of us under this post and other similar posts are vaccinated, yet we have a myriad of health issues.

I’m grateful that I’ve met families with unvaccinated kids and also unvaccinated adults. They are almost always healthier (and brighter) than us, vaccinated folks.

This is the part when people will rush to the rescue in comments sections to call me a malicious idiot and tell you to vaccinate.

I used to think the same way, and had full trust in vaccines until Covid. Taking the Covid vaccine was the biggest mistake of my life.

Millions have changed their minds about vaccines and did their own research after a distrust in the Covid vaccines and national lockdowns.

I’m happy with not vaccinating my baby. She’s now 4 months old, never had a fever or even a raised temperature, never needed medicine not even Calpol, never had a cold or flu.

Just do your Research and always ask your health department or pediatrician if your worried about certain things . Try too look at it from a positive perspective. My baby very behind on vaccinations. It could not be helped when the moter in the car went out , back to back sleep regressions , back to back teething . My daughter diagnosed with level 3 Autism. I could have stressed out could have spiraled. Instead I called the health department instead of being anxious got a catch up schedule instead of being anxious on rather I should or shouldn’t go back and get them . I booked an appointment to get caught up

I’m 100% for immunization I’m just not big on the flu shots or the Covid shot

100% for vaccines, why would you risk it?

imo, i trust science/decades of research, plus i’d rather have my girl get a shot to protect herself & others from something that could very possibly turn deadly if caught. Herd immunity is real!!

The only acceptable reason to not vaccinate is if there is a medical reason. A good medical reason to not just some little “but he get colds easy.” To each their own, I don’t judge the moms who don’t do it. I just pity the children. My daughter would be dead if it wasn’t for vaccinations.

👜✨ 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??
