When say no

So my daughter 15 years old with mild autism called me saying she wasn’t feeling good she started with cramps since yesterday but she was ok this morning so she called saying that she was feeling terrible so I said I will bring you some pain medicine and snacks to help with it she refused she wants me to pick her up and I said no she got mad so that makes me think she wasn’t feeling that bad after all and she just wants to come home but Ian not sure n now I feel bad mom ☹️what do think?

I’m autistic… Well first off there is no thing as mild autism… there is high, medium and low support needs. That’s how to classify us. mild autism usually refers to high masking autism And a lot of us high masking autistics are just hiding our pain and discomfort. And a lot of us have comorbid health issues like PCOS and endometriosis. And high masking also isn’t good for our health. I would NOT* say you are a bad mom… I would say you still have things to learn about autism. I would pick her up. She’s gotta learn to trust her needs and I suggest supporting her needs.

I have done it before and as soon as I pick her up she is better so that is why I am not do it this time she started her period around 11 years old and she doesn’t have very bad periods

Oh ok in that context it sounds like she could be dealing with being overwhelmed at school… when we are on our periods that is a sensory issue cuz pain… so being in a very over stimulating environment such as school could make her be overwhelmed. Also, school in general especially for high masking autistics could be a lot. I still would pick her up. She is disabled. Staying home to help her disability is an important accommodation. Mental health days are crucial.

Is there a possibility that she's being bullied but doesn't want to tell you? Maybe she can't put into words how she's feeling or what she might be going through?

I don’t think she is she came home just fine actually in good mood but thank you for your suggestion

Health Visitor Home Visit

Hii, could anyone explain what the health visitor does on their home visit?

Also if anyone had a home birth, what the midwife home risk assessment involves?

I’ve got 3 home visits coming up in the next two weeks (health visitor, midwives and doula) and it’s making me nervous for some reason. I think having 3 just feels like a lot and a bit invasive if that makes sense!

Poop question

Hey mommas I’m a ftm and my babygirl hasn’t pooped in two days she’s formula feed and is 12 weeks old. I can tell she’s uncomfortable and I feel so bad. I’ve been doing belly rubs and bicycle kicks and all the things like that. Also gave her some gas drops and gripe water to relieve the gas but still no poop. Does anyone have any tips or tricks for me. Pic so we don’t get lost💕

Who else is out there holding a baby thru the night so his noises dont wake up the house?!

I cant believe im still doing this at 15 months old!!!

My 2nd child is not just the noisiest sleeper but they have always been weird with breastfeeding

I think currently he is having some kinda developmental leap and growth spurt, eating and drinking like crazy and in the middle of the night if he wakes up , it takes ages to put back to sleep and he rolls around making sooooo much noise!!!

And i either have a low supply now OR he loves a fast flow and so he just jumps off the boob when it slows and complains loudly or just talks cutely but loudly! and i have to keep swapping boobs OR i have to get up and hold him and feed so gravity helps and the flow is faster and holding him means he eventually sleeps or at-least is feeding properly so is bloody quiet now! So at 1 am or 3am or often 5am onwards im holding n feeding until he wakes up 🥲🥲🥲

Any tips?

Sleeping position pregnant

Bottles and feeding

Hi my three months tomorrow old went to bed last night with only four bottles he’s having between 6oz to 7oz it differs but I’ve had to wake him up (anxiety). Because I didn’t think four bottles was enough and I’ve been up all night panicking if he wouldn’t wake up. Any advice for this? X

How’s everyone’s babies sleeping?

My little one is 19 weeks, she used to sleep through when we would put her to bed at around 10pm, she would sleep through until 6-7 am.
Now she gets so tired around 8 pm so we moved her bedtime here, but coming with this is 1-2 night feeds and she’ll be wide awake at 6 am, which I know is still amazing but I am currently as sick as a dog so hasn’t been the best for my flu 🤣.
I’m unsure whether this is the regression though as her naps are very scattered throughout the day with the max nap being 30 minutes through contact only.
Does this sound like the regression? When did your little one start sleeping through again if they ever did? Thanks in advance 🤗❤️
