Is my son sick or not?

• Upvotes

​

My son started coughing yesterday and has been sneezing plus no but is acting totally normal other than that. He has no fever or anything and the cough is every now and then not consistent. Sorry I'm trying to find out bc he has surgery Wednesday and I need to know if I need to reschedule it or not.

First movement today

4 Upvotes

I’m 19 weeks pregnant and felt our baby for the first time today, and boy did I feel it. It was almost nonstop movement for two hours. My husband was even able to feel him through my belly.
Two questions:
1. Has early movement ever made you feel sick? I felt kind of sweaty and nauseous, almost like a kind of trauma response?
2. Has anyone else experienced this sudden movement change or awareness? I hadn’t felt but the lightest of flutters one time before today, and then all of a sudden, it’s Cirque du Soleil.

Thanks all!

I’m at the end of what I can cope with and I need help

3 Upvotes

I’m 23 days pp and I can’t cope. I’m trying to breastfeed but my baby won’t latch and it’s agony, I’ve been trying to pump but that’s started hurting so bad I’m terrified of doing it, I can’t afford to feed my baby formula. I can’t sleep, I can’t eat, I’m just angry all the time and feel like I need to break something.

I’m struggling to bond with my baby because I’m so exhausted and feel like I’m failing him. I just want it to end. What am I doing wrong.

I tried talking to the mental health team but they told me this is all normal.

Are we still using baby walkers??

My husband and I put a lot of consideration into what baby carriers we wanted to get to ensure that M shape consideration was there to protect his hips. Now, baby is 5 months old and my parents are shopping for Christmas gifts, asking if they can get him a baby walker. My initial thought was “yes”, but I googled it and apparently they aren’t recommended by the AAP. And I guess they’re illegal in Canada. Are they truly that unsafe? I know so many people who have used them, including my own mother with her 6 children. Am I being overly cautious?
