Jabs!
Got her first set of jabs this week! What did people do with calpol
The HV said to give them 2.5 ml in waiting room before they go in? Any advice ? Thanks!

I gave my LO 2.5ml after their first jab, which was recommended by the nurse. I guess, like always, each advisor will say different. Best of luck, it’s necessary but heart wrenching 😭
My nurse recommended just after so you’re not masking any symptoms of anything else as they do a quick visual check to ensure baby’s happy and healthy before giving the jabs - I gave in the waiting room x
I gave my little one the 2.5 ml shot straight after the injection like immediately after so she didnt focus on the pain. Its worked every time
We gave about 30 mins before as instructed by my GP practice.
Give it straight after the appointment, before you head home in case baby falls asleep on the way home, then you don't have to wake them.

Could this be tongue tie...?
I got my 5 month old weighed the other day and she has only put 1lb 4oz on between 30/07 and 13/10. My health visitor keeps dismissing me and telling me not to worry as she "was never a big girl anyway" (she was born 29 May at 8.5lbs/81st centile, and has dropped to the 5th centile at 11lb15oz?!)
She's always had long and frequent feeds, which because I know no different I didn't think was odd, obviously slow weight gain, I maybe have a slight lipstick nipple when she unlatches, and occasionally she pulls off frustrated and then latches back on. No other symptoms that I have picked up on, and all the midwives told me she had a good latch and was feeding well, so it's not even occurred to me until her new weigh in that there may be something wrong!
My question is, is there anything other symptoms I need to look out for? Did anyone's baby turn out to have tongue tie with similar/less symptoms than usual (no pain etc)
How hard was it to get help?
My GP has also said that tongue tie is so over diagnosed these days, so I am wanting to go in with ammo if I need it😅

How do you manage sexy time?
Hey there, I have a pretty embarassing question: how do you manage to have sex? 😅
I'm a FTM of an 8 months old and her sleep is really restless. We do not have any family living nearby to take her on a walk to get some time alone.
Any suggestions are highly appreciated :D

Sleep
Has anyone got advice on how to put an awake baby down for a nap without using the boob? My baby’s four weeks and only goes down for a sleep when feeding but I’m scared this is going to create a bad habit

Night screaming hunger
My baby boy is just waking up screaming every three hours in the night for a bottle. We usually gives him a bottle and it settles him straight away. But both me and the partner can’t handle the screams. There is no movement or noise before the scream so I can’t prepare him a bottle fast enough (we use a prep machine). He is teething but we’re doing all we can. I’ve tried not feeding him and just rocking shushing and giving him a dummy but he screams until he gets a bottle. We’ve also started feeding him purees. Any advice and tips would be appreciated.

Obsession over naps and schedules
Is anyone getting a bit anxious/ obsessive about nap times and feeding times etc? I find that I am avoiding doing things because I don’t want to mess with when she will sleep (4 months old). I just know my day (and hers) go so much better when she is in a rhythm. When she is overtired everything goes out of whack and she’s really difficult. It’s awful when we are out and she won’t sleep and won’t eat (too distracted) and just completely loses it 😔. I don’t want to be someone who won’t leave the house or say ‘sorry can’t that’s nap time’ but I feel like I am 😔 anyone else the same? Any advice on how to chill out a bit? 😔
