I had my baby through assisted delivery they used forceps to take her out but since day one I’ve observed some white discharge on the corners of her eyes ,I thought it was the normal thing but now that she’s almost turning 3 months old she’s still having the same thing,anyone know else experiencing the same with their forceps baby please or should I ring my GP to let them know

This isn’t to do with the forceps this is her eye ducts developing slower than some baby’s eye ducts do. I would consult the GP to be sure to be on the safe side.
Hey! So my son had blocked tear ducts when he was born and it took ages to go! In the end, we did Little massage to help unblock them.
You take your finger to top the nose, underneath the brow bone and gently swipe down, over the tear duct and towards the cheek (I hope that makes sense😅). We did this a few times a day for a few days and it disappeared!

Sleep Training?
My daughter is 7 months and he started to wake up every 2-3 hours again. Sometimes I can rock her back to sleep other times feeding seems to work the best. She sleeps in our room in a pack and play and she will sit up and cry so I know she’s not trying to self soothe. What worked best for you and your littles?

EBF every 1.5 hours
My 8 week old wants feeding every 1.5 hours and I feel like all I'm doing is feeding! She only feeds for 5 minutes at a time and I can't get her to take any more. I have a toddler and my baby has reflux so most of our day is spent feeding and holding baby upright. I'm hardly getting any time to play with my oldest 😢 does anyone else's baby feed as frequently as this?

Leaving baby on own while downstairs
Hi all I know the Bhs guidelines say keep baby in same room as you for first 6 months. My baby is 5 months old but she's a really bad napper in the day so I hardly get any chores done I was wondering if it would be safe once u put her to bed to set the camera on her to go downstairs for an hour or two to do chores. Everything I read online says no because of Sid's and I do have anxiety over Sid's. I would still be staying in the same room as her overnight. I want to hear everyone's opinions and what they have done. Thankyou x

Nap times
Little boy is nearly 6 weeks when do you start doing timed naps currently he just sleeps when ever where ever but I’m think soon I will have to start put him down for naps, and would like to introduce his cot eventually so he’s used to it when he starts sleeping there once he’s out from the next to me
