Signs of autism 2 year old
My child had just turned 2 recently and we're approaching next health review and I am unsure of certain behaviour that he's showing sometimes.
He's speaking walking etc no concerns here however not always he's reacting to his name, not always he's pointing, sometimes walking on tip toes, sometimes flapping his hands.
Online says that those are normal signs and nothing to be concerned until they're 3.
What are your experience in that matter should i be worried?
He's with me at home no nursery however everyday we're at playgroups.

Sounds like a normal toddler behaviour. My son used to do the same.
Autism signs and typical toddler behaviour can be so similar at this age. The difference would be in frequency and intensity.
For example, when you call his name and he's already focused on something else, of course he wouldn't turn around straight away, he's busy. You can try calling his name once, wait 10 seconds, calling once more, waiting again and calling the third time should do the trick.
If you're having the 2 year review soon you can ask the HV for their advice but I wouldn't worry.
My son is turning 2 aswell and he has been watching a lot of television and tends to copy everything. Once he copies he stays with whatever he has learned or seen and does it every single day. Like duck quaking they use flapping fingers. Twirl around and doesn’t respond to his name only does when it suits him. He is hyperactive and does not care being left alone as he will be getting on with his business. Im a little worried too. He talks but you cant have a conversation with him. Only when he is singing his nursery rhymes is when you hear his voice

Sex postpartum - post 2nd degree tear
I had a 2nd degree tear and had stitches. I've had sex only twice so far since (now 4 months pp). It has been so painful mainly where the tear was, skin feels so tight and it just causes pain.
I used a lot of lube but that didn't help much, felt like my skin just wasn't stretching at all. Any advice?

Post partum hair loss
Hey mums so I’m currently 4 months postpartum and I’ve noticed in the last few weeks my hair is falling out on my bed the floor everywhere i have so much hair and now I feel like my hair has gone thin but I’m not sure if it’s normal and if there anything I should be using or taking to stop it or let it grow back I’ve broken down in tears so many days every time I find a new hair anywhere.

Nappy sizes
Unsure what to do for nappy sizes. My bubba is currently in size 4 nutmeg and rascals but they're both tight and not fitting around her hips very well. She's also 8.5kg weighed last week.
Any ideas on what we should do?

Breast pumps

Cluster feeding
My baby is currently 3 weeks old and he is almost all day and night on my breast. Sometimes he feeds for an hour and 10 minutes later he wants more. He is gaining weight properly. Breast is the only way to make him calm. I am very tired. Does anyone have a similar experience?
