Ear piercing

Has anyone pierced their girl’s ears yet? I’m undecided but I know that if I want to do it I should do it soon, so that the piercer can do it without LO moving as much. Just worried about the aftercare and not wanting my LO to pull on them!

Vomiting

Anyone know why my baby keeps vomiting after bottles, it's not reflux necessarily as he suffers from that. It seems different, as though he's overfed but he isn't. He can usually take 4oz but has just vomited after 3 and has done this all night. It's not projectile, he is his usual smiley cooing self and doesn't hav...

Daughters privacy

So my husband changes our daughers diapers and gives her baths. At what age does it become unacceptable/inappropriate for him to continue those things? We both think around 5/6yrs old.
