Family members kissing baby

When is it safe to let family members kiss our baby? She had her jabs today and up until now we've had to keep telling family members not to kiss her. Seems like they think they can kiss her now she has had her jabs though, is this right?

Emla numbing cream

Little boy is due his 1 year jabs next week. A few people have recommended I buy the Emla numbing cream. For those who have had their LO’s jabs, where do they inject in their thighs- as I will need to put the cream on that specific area… thank you in advance!

Poop

My baby is 8 months old and is breastfed and does baby led weaning. She usually has 1 poo every few days. The past few days she’s been having roughly 3 poos a day and they are very watery and a bit frothy. Any ideas what could be causing this?

Advice

Last week my baby was having some tummy issues, being constipated and spitting up so his doctor took him off the formula that he was on and put him on gentle ease. For the past few days he has had sticky black poops and is still spitting up. Last night he screamed for almost two hours straight. Has anyone dealt with...

Epidural

Yes or no? I've been in two minds for the past few months and just can't decide if I want one (quite scared of the needle), or if I should just try and do it unmedicated.

Happy smile or gassy smile

So I’ve been wondering . This is my first baby and he’s 3 weeks today and when they are sleep why do they smile is it because they are working on their face muscle or is it from being gassy or from poops ?

She’s here!

Her due date was 12/30, but initially the ER visit started as a check to see if my water had broken in the shower. Turns out, it didn’t! We were just about to be discharged from the triage, when my blood pressure spiked and baby girl’s heartbeat started to slow down. At that point, I had to have an emergency C-Sect...

Umbilical Hernia

Anyone else’s LO have an umbilical hernia? My baby’s seems to have gotten larger, but she is eating/sleeping normally and I can still squish it back in when she is relaxed. Looking for advice on when these usually go away and if I should be concerned that it has grown in size
