THIS MAN THREW A CUP OF WATER IN MY FACE

Soo there’s been tension all day , this guy just can’t seem to NOT want to argue! While we’re in the kitchen he’s in my proximity not giving me any space, screaming who I am and what I am and telling me to move! Not in a nice way either! I say No I’m sticking right here!

Anyone else's baby seem to want to suckle to poop?

It can be either the boob or a dummy but he will do hunger cues when I'm 95% sure he's not still hungry (huge belly, big feed etc) and as soon as he starts sucking something he'll do the mightiest shart I've ever heard 😂 he's 3 weeks old now. Wondering if it's a comfort thing like moral support to get this poop out 😂

Telephone consultation for postnatal check?

Anyone else had a telephone consultation for their postnatal check? Even though I didn’t need stitches I still think it should’ve been done in person. I feel a bit let down, especially as the Dr lectured me on how breast is best AFTER I told her I was unable to breastfeed and felt so down and guilty about it when ...

Vaccinations at 1 year old?

Someone told me that my 1 year old is due some more vaccinations now? I’m a little confused though as my GP hasn’t contacted me about this? Is this true? And what are these vaccinations for? (Sorry if this is a really stupid question - it’s just so hard to keep up with everything!)

Poo issues

My baby doesn't poo daily. I was advised that she should take movicol every single day until she poos and then still continue. Is this right? Apparently it's not a laxative and it's safe. Does anyone else's baby poo every 2 to 3 days?

Nappy

My 12 week old for the last few days has had v bad smelling nappies and looser poos (sorry not a nice post) - it has smelt a little fishy, but she is only doing 1 of these a day so it’s not diahorrea. Any one else had this? 🙈 worried it may be a tummy bug!

Health visitors

Are we supposed to contact them to arrange visits? Or do they contact us? My son is 7 and a half months and I’ve only seen the health visitor once? Is this normal? I’m not from this country but where I’m from in the EU the health visitor comes every 3 months to check on baby?

Bath

What do you put your baby in the bath? We’re still using the Angel care and LO will soon grow out of it. We tried to put her directly in the bath but she slides around a lot. Any tips please
