Baths in the night or day

Hi, I realise I’m not giving enough baths at all to my little one at 9 weeks as I’m usually waiting to give it in the night time and by then either he’s in a mood to sleep or I’m too sleepy to bathe him.

My baby is having her 8 week jab at 8 week and 1 day. Calpol says 2 months. Is she allowed to have calpol then?

I know that 8 weeks and 2 months aren’t considered the same so just wondering! Also I got a letter from the NHS saying her vaccines should be booked from the week after she turns 2 months but GP has given me an appointment for 8 weeks and 1 day! Super confused so any advice would help x

Baby Spit Up

My son was born July 5th. He is 4 months old today. My baby is PUKEY! The doctors don’t consider it reflux, because he isn’t “projectile”, but pretty much (I feel like) the entire bottle comes back up sometimes. He is SUPER happy and is gaining weight, so medically the doctors aren’t worried. Mentally however, I’m...

Feed, vomit, feed cycle?? :( help

I’m seriously loosing it. My 2 week old is absolutely ravenous at night. I express milk and he’s taking about 100ml each time. At night he can scream as if he hasn’t eaten 45 minutes after a feed. I try everything just incase it’s not hunger but then he’s rooting. I’ll then feed him again but then 30 seconds into it...

Baby fell

My baby was sitting on our island in the kitchen, and she fell backward. She has a little dump forming and crying whenever I touch it. Otherwise, she's laughing and talking . Just tender, I guess should I take her in ?

8 week jabs!

Our little boy had his first jabs today and my anxiety is getting the better of me. He’s running a fever of 37.8 and fussy but I’m wondering what I should put him in to go to sleep! Usually he’s in a sleepsuit and grow bag - should I stick to this tonight or have him in less so he’s cooler?? Thank you xx

Reflux since week 8 jab

I noticed now looking back that my baby's reflux symptoms have gotten worse since the week 8 jab. Alongside this, her sleep pattern has also changed and has gotten bad. Does anyone else notice this or is it just me ?
