Head banging?
LO is nearly 15 months and when he’s at home and upset/angry he will either bang his head on something or the wall and then look at me and cry or lean forward and do it on the carpet? He’s done it on his cot too if I haven’t got him out fast enough. I don’t know what to do and where he’s even got that from? Can anyone give any advice? Is it a sign of autism?

I think it's quite normal unfortunately, we're experiencing it too, as are many of my mum friends!
yeah I think this is quite normal, it's cause and effect. unfortunately they know they get attention when they bang their heads. some are sillier than others and actually hurt themselves.
My cousins have autism to varying degrees and they all did bang their heads but from much younger ages, from sitting would aggressively throw themselves to try regulate themselves. Very different.

Sleeping longer at night and nappy leaks
Hey all, my nearly 5 month old has started going 6-8 hours between feeds at night which is great but he wakes up with his nappy leaking up the front. There's still absorption left at the back of his nappy but since learning to roll he sleeps on his front.
Any advice on stopping these leaks? I tried putting a size up nappy over his regular one but that had him uncomfortable and waking up every 1-2 hours.

C section mums
I have been really struggling with my recovery post my C section, it’s almost 4 months now but I keep getting pains in my scar area, my stomach from bottom feels painful when touching and I struggle with holding my baby for long or putting him in the crib and same when bending to pick him up from it. Is this normal or shall I get checked?

Sex after birth
I’m 6 weeks pp and I’m dying to have sex lol, me and my partner would have sex religiously before I gave birth, atleast once a day, it’s been 6 weeks without and I’m super worried, I had a second degree tear and an episiotomy. The outside part of episiotomy has completely healed but the internal part of it, turns out I got an infection, I’ve had it for at least 2 weeks, do you think this will prevent me from getting cleared at my 6 week check up?
