Baby noises

My little boy has been making this noise since around 2-3 weeks old (he’s now 9 weeks) I’ve been to the drs twice and the hospital in which apparently it’s normal?

Vent? Advice?

My almost 3 month old is going through a phase where he has been crying all day for the past few days😭it is so draining, my husband is Navy so it’s just me for the past month while he’s away.

Baby’s First Bath

Silly question… when did you all give your baby their first bath? I have a newborn and the doctor at the hospital said that there is a lot of value in holding off on the first bath and I’ve read some things online not to use any shampoo until they are over a month. When did you all give baby their first bath??

How many wees in a day?

How many times does your 3 year old go for a wee in a day? I know each child is different but mine goes about 4ish times a day - not sure if that seems too less or if it’s considered normal?!

First needles

My little one had his first set of needles today. We’ve gave him calpol as recommended by the nurse but he’s so unsettled tonight like constantly whimpering and pulling the most adorable little sad face 🥲 He’s refusing his dummy and doesn’t want to be cuddled. Does anyone know how long this will last? Thanks.
