No they didn’t! It’s quite a small nursery I’m not sure there is a parents room or anything similar tbh, I have been emailing though so will check. When we went to meet the owner last week my little boy cried when she spoke to him so that’s good
hopefully that’s not a sign of what’s to come hahaBaby L's first settling in session was us sitting on the floor in the baby room surrounded by babies while we filled in forms with baby L's key worker
the babies kept trying to give my husband and baby L toys (but not me for some reason 
) it was meant to be 30 mins but we were there for an hour. He worked up to full days over 2 weeks in the end but we didn't go in apart from that first one.
So sorry to hear you're having a tough start.Gave birth Friday, awake now due to having to hand express colestrum for baby. My baby unfortunately even at 37w5d just wasn't feeding enough and slow to feed and on formula top ups so between the midwives and doctors my little baby was taken to special care within the hospital.. Basically he's a term baby acting like a premie (attention seeker much) Mentally it's so hard and between just everything I feel so helpless but this gives me something to control over it. Anyone else have had similar issues, the thought of leaving the baby and I've to go home is likely looking to become a reality and it breaks my heart
My little boy is 12 weeks now but we had a week in hospital after his birth. It was quite a prolonged, traumatic birth and he ended up as a forceps delivery with jaundice and an infection which meant he just couldn't/wouldn't feed and ended up tube fed in NICU for a few days. I didn't have to leave him at the hospital and I had made the choice to formula feed so our situation was slightly different from yours but I totally get how out of control it feels. I know I just felt so sad for my boy and also for myself that it hadn't been the birth experience or start to my little boy's life that I'd envisaged. Thinking of you and your little one and I really hope you're home together soon Oh the hand expressing colostrum is not fun I remember it well!

I’ve put him in his cot in his room and he’s playing with the mobile and smiling and I’m just stood watching him 
but also wish I was still sleeping!It seems to have been similar enough as my baby is being tube fed too and it just upsets me to even look at him being hooked upSo sorry to hear you're having a tough start.
then through no faultl for my the poor person beside me she'd feeding her girl perfectly and I well just couldnt 
typical boy thing to sleepy to feed himself. I hope things are better for you know and it seems like a distant memory. It just feels like it's a bit lonely and cold down in the NicuI had to leave baby Rita in nicu for just over a week when I went home and it was the hardest thing I had to do. I also made the decision to formula feed as I couldn’t face the stress of trying to pump etc with everything else I had going on (her being poorly, myself being ill). It is so so hard, do you live close by to the hospital? I am only 5/10 mins away so I could easily go in the morning, pop home for lunch and a break, back in the afternoon, etc. There are lots of really good Instagram accounts for nicu mummies for support x xGave birth Friday, awake now due to having to hand express colestrum for baby.

this also means he’s now a menace at nappy changing time, too.I used a high chair which had a lie flat newborn insert in and it was a lifesaver, especially with my giant dogs roaming around the kitchen. She loved it, it had a mobile on it and I used to dip her dummy in gripe water and she would actually drift off to sleep in it sometimes, hopefully baby Wood will do the same as I managed to get loads done.Baby Wood had the wild wiggles and ended up wedged horizontally in his cot last night
Husband has an issue with his knee so I’m now doing all feeds and changes plus running the house. Tomorrow, he goes back to work so also won’t be on hand to look after baby while I pick up his share of jobs. Baby wood is going to have to get used to his new high chair very quickly
) but little lady slept from 8pm-7.30am!!!
Definitely get some sort of carrier - I didn't get on with the fabric wrap I had but I've since bought a more structured carrier (the BabyBjorn Harmony) and it's been a bit of a game changer. It might be worth looking on Vinted for a bargain to try out before making a big purchase.
and he just doesn’t eat anywhere near as much as those ‘what my baby ate in a day’ tiktoks.. shouldn’t compare but 6months in and don’t feel like we’ve made massive improvements?
spoon food he keeps going through phases of it’s all he wants/then rejecting for days… I just want him to eat 
have asked mods to change it
