I'm afraid I have to disagree. I feed my baby before dinner, we have dinner and then he just starts screaming. I just keep popping him on the boob until he falls asleep for 5 mins and then wakes up screaming again 🤷‍♀️
I personally think he is just tired and uncoordinated by that time of day. Feeding and seeing the world can be exhausting for the littlies and most people are in a bad mood if they are tired.
Lots of skin to skin and boob help, but he is still extra screamy.
Some people may feel bad if they think they have missed something when it is just how their baby is x

I disagree too. My LO would start screaming after their feed around 6-7pm. And the screaming would go on till around 10-11pm. In those few hours we’d try everything to calm him down and it wouldn’t work. But everyday it was like clockwork. I agree with , some babies just get overstimulated towards the end of the day, they have a hard time settling. And there’s not much any parent can do except be there and hold them through it.

I thinks it’s very easy to be of this opinion if the temperament of your baby is calm and you’re not experiencing a witching hour. My little one is calm and we haven’t really experienced witching hours, but to think people are missing queues is quite closed minded as it more comes down to temperament, if your child has reflux, allergies, colic etc. I believe it’s down pie luck that my baby doesn’t have witching hours x

Anyone?! At my 35 weeks ultrasound im told that the gender I’ve been told at 20 weeks is wrong!

They told me it’s a girl and now at 35 weeks their are telling me it’s a boy. The sonographer has been different everytime! How do I trust anyone at this point?! Here’s a photo of their privates! The one who did it today said she’s 100% certain it’s a boy. Has this happened to anyone here?

Confused about C-section vs vaginal delivery

I’ve had a history of stress incontinence and general pelvic floor weakness before pregnancy and also lower back issues like sciatica before pregnancy. Now I know C-sec is a major surgery with longer recovery times but vaginal birth could lead to worsening of the pelvic floor and worst case scenario could lead to C-sec anyway! So I’m really not sure how to make a decision here, there are so many unknowns of how the birth could go and how the body can react after! Any advice on how you are choosing your way of delivery??

Back pain

Ladies i seem to be struggling with pain down the right side of my back from about above my love handles to past my bum any advise?
I did have an epidural during my second labour and my right leg was a lot more dead to the point I couldn’t move my right leg without help wondering if this is anything to do with it
