Solidarity, I’m hungover too, and my fella is out all day at a work thing. God what I’d do to lie in bed all day eating shite and scrolling through tiktokSo it was my work Christmas party yesterday, I was home by 7 but it was a free bar with aloooot of prosecco from 12 so I was pretty drunk and went straight to bed. Only to be up being sick a couple of hours laterso I had a very rough night.

I'm not 100% sure but I'd say you can breastfeed. Not everyone can express so they can't expect you to just not feed your baby in those 2 hoursHi guys!
Probably a silly question, but I’m 7 weeks post partum and have to take another GTT. Can I breastfeed in between the blood tests or should I express and my partner can bottle feed her?
Thanks
I'd give it to him. Surely if he's got even a milk ear infection, the antibiotics will get rid of it?Baby and 3yo are both poorly bless them.
I'm really conflicted though and hoping one of you guys can give me some advice, so I took the 3yo to the docs yesterday as one of his ears is a little red and she confirmed he has a mild ear infection. She prescribed amoxicillan but told me not to give it to him unless necessary. He has woken again this morning quite warm, teary ao do you think its worth giving it to him??
gahhh I hate being a parent sometimes
Exactly my thinking! Thanks lovely xI'm not 100% sure but I'd say you can breastfeed. Not everyone can express so they can't expect you to just not feed your baby in those 2 hours

And from previous experience, they always seem to get worse, not better on their own
I always find when the doctor says ‘bring them back if they get worse’ or ‘I’ll prescribe you antibiotics, but only give it to them if necessary’ means they’re in the beginning of an infection/it will get worse. I’m not sure why they are so blasé about antibiotics and wants them to get worse before they do anything about itBaby and 3yo are both poorly bless them.

Soo I think baby is constipated he’s screaming when doing aand it’s definitely more solid than it has been he’s just over 4 weeks does anyone have any tips on how I can help him
You can usually tell if they're constipated because it will be hard pellets. If it isn't, they usually aren't constipated.Soo I think baby is constipated he’s screaming when doing aand it’s definitely more solid than it has been he’s just over 4 weeks does anyone have any tips on how I can help him
Hope Kitten gets better soon. With one of my kids, I don’t find calpol works, we always have to go for the nurofen first xAaah, I'm behind again
Kitten is very poorly. She has a fever 38°+ (mostly close to 39°) which doesn't go down that much with paracetamol. Her poos yesterday were veeerrry pale, which I have never seen on her. She hasn't poo'ed yet today, so hoping it'll be a better color today. She's teething like crazy, so maybe that's it? Her left cheek also stays red.
She coughs a lot (me too, dry cough) and yesterday it was so bad that she puked
She has been napping for over 3 hours now!So must mean she needs it.
Hope her fever has gone down now, if not I'll try nurofen and if that doesn't work I'll go to the GP, cause I'm worried
She still eats, although less.
@Trombolese so happy mrT found a new job. Can't wait for you to have your own place!
I'm considering going to see a psychologist indeed, cause I feel so down and just so incredibly tired all the time.
We also had some info on the ladder and tbh I haven’t really done it orange has also eaten other children’s food at nursery and now sits with another child on the allergy table which is sweet. If we are out I tend to lean to vegan choices as I know it’s usually fine obviously I read the ingredients or I make sandwiches take them with me and fridge raiders crisps fruit cucumber sliced for snacks and you know what else is a great snack these little soreen lunch sized bars they do loads of different flavours and are vegan xSo far, I'm finding it worse as he's getting older. As now we are eating out and about more, there are snacks at playgroups and things so his little pals are eating around him, and he's now mobile and actively interested in food. Like, I'd be watching him regardless as he can't be helping himself to food/snatching it from other kids etc. But having to be super vigilant and swoop down and stop him sharing things and deal with the sad little look on his face ain't it. And then you're wary of other kids who are eating/have food smeared on them. Cos not all parents are actually watching their kids and bother to give their hands/face a wipe when they're pure covered in food.
His allergy appts were crap too. He's not got an Allergy Plan for nursery and we're getting some labelled Piriton from the GP to send in. But the plan only mentions his nut allergy, and it's a nut free nursery so hopefully will never be exposed. For dairy we were helpfully told to google the dairy ladder and discharged. And his others aren't mentioned at all, soooo.
Sorry to be a downer x
Thank you and thank you @sodit for sharing your experiences, I guess it might get easier for a bit once we have it confirmed what his allergies are and then harder once we have nursery and parties etc to contend with!We also had some info on the ladder and tbh I haven’t really done it orange has also eaten other children’s food at nursery and now sits with another child on the allergy table which is sweet.

Sometimes they can look as though they’re constipated because the muscles they use to poop aren’t isolated yet so it’s a bit of a whole body effort to squeeze it out! You can try gently cycling his legs round and there’s a baby massage technique called “I love you” if you Google it which helps too.Soo I think baby is constipated he’s screaming when doing aand it’s definitely more solid than it has been he’s just over 4 weeks does anyone have any tips on how I can help him
I’ve posted before about being under the care of the perinatal mental health team due to high anxiety levels and feelings of depression. I’ve been seeing a psychotherapist the last couple of months and in combo with medication it’s been brilliant for me, even as just being a safe space to talk through all my feelings on anything and everything. Admittedly some sessions can feel a bit emotionally draining but overall it really helps feel like a load has been lifted, so I would say that if you can find someone who you are comfortable chatting to then it’s well worth it, especially given everything you’ve been through this past year.I'm considering going to see a psychologist indeed, cause I feel so down and just so incredibly tired all the time.
Saline spray and snot sucker for his nose. Calpol for his temp, you can get a vapour baby bath from asda. Snuffle babe vapour oil is safe to use from birth and works like a calpol plug in xI’m stressing out. The baby has a stuffy nose and a bit of a cough. Took his temp and it’s 37.5. He’s 7 weeks old and was born at 36 weeks. He’s hardly taking any of his bottles and has slept most of the day. I can’t do anything or give him anything can I?
