Bath time tips for one very stressed mama and baby

So my 8 week old hates the bath. Screams the place down. Tonight it almost made me cry. She’s not in for long. We set the temp at 37. I put a muslin or facecloth over her to keep her warm. Try calming words etc etc but she just absolutely hates it and it seems to be getting worse rather than better. Anyone any tips?...

Reflux?

My baby boy will be 2 weeks tomorrow and he’s been absolutely fine except the last 2 days we’ve noticed he’s being sick after most feeds and we’re really unsure why? Has anyone else experienced this and any ideas what it could be?

My question really is has anyon...

Reflux

I took my baby to the doctor for a follow up and was told she may have reflux. I was told to sit her up for 20-30 min after eating and when she sleeps to swaddle her and make sure her head is sideways incase she spits up and chokes . She also spits up sometimes while being bottle fed or breastfed. Also I’m not sure ...

Alfamino

My son has been on alfamino for 4 days and came out in this rash. He won’t settle after a feed and genuinely doesn’t enjoy a feed. He’s screaming in pain after a bottle and doesn’t bring up much wind. He seems to have reflux too. Should i take him to the doctors?

RSV

I have just read a post on instagram about RSV vaccines and how they should be offered at 28 weeks (or not in my case 🙄). Just wondering if anyone has been given theirs or contacted a GP to receive one and how quickly afterwards you got it? Also you may just be hearing about this now at 38 weeks like myself 😅🙃

Baby poo

Hey, I just wondered how normal it was that my 8 week old poop is often green and watery? With my other babies their poo was more curry coloured 😅 i have googled (as you do) and from what I can tell it could be a reaction to something I am eating, but as long as it's not bloody or black i shouldn't worry too…
