No don't give it before, because there are cough colds and temperatures going round at the moment and it could hide something. Always give it after
I was told to give after
I was told to give immediately after the vaccine not before. A great tip I was also given is if you do skin to skin, it helps baby regulate their temperature, especially when struggling between paracetamol dose. Hope all goes well
Never give Calpol before as it will mask any reaction to the vaccines which would otherwise be visible without it. Only give Calpol if baby has a temperature
I didn’t give mine calpol, only if they were visibly unsettled but they were fine so didn’t need it.
I did it as soon as I got home and then I thought she was fine but spiked a bad fever so the next round did calpol for whole first day

How long did baby sleep in your room?
My little one is only just 4 months but is rolling and already pretty much grown out of his next to me crib in size! I am an anxious mum and a stickler for following safety guidelines so we are going to dismantle and rebuild his big cot in our bedroom. Obviously that's a big of a faff for just 2 months but the more I think about it the more I can't even think about him moving into his own bedroom anytime soon... It feels so wrong to me to just stick my infant in his own bedroom? 😂 But obviously I know it needs to happen at some point so I'm just curious to see when other parents did the transition whether earlier or later?

Stains
Moms, what actually works for getting stains out of your kids’ clothes? 😅 I’m dealing with grease marks and all the random toddler stains. What products do you swear by, and do you pretreat, soak, or just throw everything in the wash?

Why no trigger warning???
Why are people posting pics of blood abd mucus plugs without the sensitive content warning??? Not everyone has the stomach to see that, there's first time moms on here who don't need to see it like have some consideration for others??

Naps at nursery
My little boy will be 10 months old when he starts nursery, he currently needs holding/cuddling to fall asleep then I can place him down in his cot to nap once’s he’s fell asleep. He won’t settle on his own it just results in him screaming crying. But I’m worried about when he starts nursery, will the staff there do the same at nap time or will he expected to self settle himself to sleep?
