New baby and post birth advice #34 Just press the tummy to turn it off

[Belle Amie]

I found a video on tiktok of all places search baby constipation and it was basically rubbing the foot and pulling the toes gently, I did it yesterday and within half an hour it was out x

What white noise machine is best? I used my work iPhone last time with an app but I’ve locked that in a drawer and don’t wanna look at it again till I go back to work next sep I’ve got a gro owl thing passed on from a friend but it’s too loud

I’ll have a look and try that thank you!
I just use my Spotify through google nest/Alexa on a white noise playlist and play one noise on repeat all night x

We used Alexa on a loop, the ambient sound skill had a variation from white noise to brown

Thanks for all your replies girls. I’ll use the Alexa then. God I’ve got such brain fog why didn’t I just think to do that haha

What the duck is brown noise

Happy birthday @WhatABore

I’ve used this since they were newborns. Cheap and cheerful and has a few different settings, can be used plugged in or batteries if you’re napping downstairs etc

White Noise Machine, Portable... Amazon product

The decibels of brown noise are supposed to do something to your bowels

I just saw on Instagram someone refer to breast milk as body milk I had to come straight here and post what is happening to the world

I've got thre tommee tippee dream maker and it's good. Stays on all night or you can have it that it starts up if they cry instead. Has a pink light which is supposed to be good but I have that turned off because it distracts her

I wish she'd come back

If she does, can you let me know so I can unblock her. Thanks

Baby tried to be helpful and empty the dishwasher. Smashed one of our new bowls that cost us about £100 from ikea 🫠 little git!

I gave Tommy a slurp of hot chocolate with marshmallows today.

Snoop, where u at? Although I'd like to clarify it was tepid, I'm not SO excited to have you back I'd inflict actual mouth scorch

Baby loves tea. I can’t have a tea in peace now

Update on the school dinner sitch: Apparently she couldn't resist the offer of a cheeky roast and apple crumble so she just HAD to order one. She goes "it's only a few pounds mummy, and it was so yummy I might have it next week" so I've messaged her teacher and told her not to let her order one again if she's got a packed lunch.

1-0 to me babes

Sounds like me explaining mammals to my year 1 class, i kept saying ‘mammals feed their young/babies with their… bodies’

Ha. One of my assigned tasks for when I was at work was making all the maternity guidelines gender neutral. Which is rather hard to do with maternity guidelines! Words like breasts come up a lot…

(not starting any kind of political debate here. Just saying it required lots of lateral thinking)

Yep! Everything but her tuna pasta I have no idea how she managed it time wise as they only get a short time to eat in the hall then they shove them outside

One of my hospital letters when I was pregnant referred to me as a “birth person”.
Again not starting a debate but birth person and body milk sound a bit cold and clinical’

Oh she and the 9yo would get on fantastic
Go girl!

Update on the health visitor - she made the piles feel like a 2 week holiday in Spain. I’ve had maccies and near enough drowned myself in lavender to cheer myself up REALLY nice of her to say “don’t worry about the house being tidy” when the house was in fact tidy - cos I was up at 7 tidying it. “How’s your mood though? How are you actually feeling?” Honestly, Linda, if you left I’d be feeling a lot bleeping better.

You can’t blame the girl when it comes to an apple crumble, if it was custard with it it’s a no brainer
This is why I’m going to be skint when baby’s older, I’ll be like fair enough I’d do the same love

I mean, I get where she’s coming from.
I work for a big employer, there are two canteens across the site and my office is above one of them. Daren’t tot up how many times I’ve left my packed lunch in the fridge for the following day and bought instead custard puddings just call to me.

Ugh! I hate them so much. Mine is beyond useless, well tbh she’s a tiny bit better than the one I had first time. She recommended moving up the number 2 teat on tommee tippee at less than a month old my poor eldest had a coughing fit she got drowned in milk bless her.
glad I never have to see them again.
I didn't bother tidying for them, duck em
