I always check their fingers and toes before bed. Every night. It’s just something I do.
And still… one morning, it happened.
He woke up fussy and I noticed redness on his little toe. A single strand of hair had wrapped so tightly around it that I could barely even see it. A hair tourniquet. Something so small, so invisible, but it can cut off circulation quickly if it’s not caught.
I’m sharing this because I do check. I’m careful. And it still happened overnight.
If your baby is suddenly uncomfortable, won’t settle, or you see swelling or redness on a finger or toe, look closely. Check inside socks. Check footie pajamas. Postpartum hair shedding makes this even more common.
It’s scary how something so tiny can cause so much pain.
Please share this. If it helps even one parent catch it early, it’s worth it. 💛

Did any other uk c section mommas have to do the injections for 6 weeks rather than the normal 10 days? Baby girl was breech hence the c section. Pic of the princess so we dont get lost ❤️ xx

*Help me please! FTM*
*pic for attention*
I was at a baby shower today and my friends grandma came over to see my LO and when she was done visiting she chose to kiss my baby on her forehead. Before I could even stop her it had happened. I wanted to be polite so I didn’t say anything, but internally I began to freak out. I said I needed to go and change her. So I took her and wiped her face with one of her baby wipes.
What can I do for preventative measures for my 2 month old. She is unvaxxed and I could be over reacting but I am so scared she is going to get sick. The grandma didn’t seem or show signs of being sickly, but you never know!
So any suggestions for preventative measures and medicines to give her if she does get sick would be fantastic! She is exclusively breastfed. Please help so I can feel somewhat prepared. We currently don’t have anything to give her if she were to get sick and I don’t want to freak out and go to the store and just grab the first thing I see.

My little is 10months old and likes to cram everything in his mouth ans scare me. I wanted to do bigger pieces so he can bite it and work on the food mapping thing but idk i found smaller pieces are better for him bc he does that..or is that a normal baby thing? I also have no idea how to introduce a spoon or if we are just sticking to finger foods? He also doesnt have teeth yet so unless its super soft it also scares me. FTM so any advice in foods and how to let him eat would be helpful!

I will use 23 wipes to change one diaper.
I don’t care.
At least my baby is cleaner than some of the adults I know.

Hi! Looking for some advice. (Just to preface, we are working with a doctor.) I have a 4 week old boy. He's been taking Nutramigen for 3 weeks now and he is still having belly issues. There really hasn't been any clear cut answers like acid reflux or allergies. He's been having a lot of difficulty pooping and his poops are really weird from what I've seen in my other kids. The best I can describe it as if the liquids and solids have separated. He's been in the worst pain I've seen him in for the past 8 hours. Only cuddles help. Any advice is appreciated!

Sometimes at night before bed, I take a deep breath and wonder how I lived through the day 😅😂

My 20-day-old baby has had vampire gums since the day he was born. Is this normal?

Our March 6th baby came at the absolute perfect time on February 24th!

She was measuring 8lbs 10 oz at 37 weeks. 😬 So my husband and I were doubling down on everything to kick start labor (having “relations”, pelvis movements on an exercise ball, drinking raspberry leaf tea every day, started pumping out colostrum, on the day before birth I did some lunges & squats with the exercise ball, & my husband gave me a foot massage and looked up pressure points).

Anyways, at my 38 week appt last Friday, my OB measured me at 3 cm dialated and did a membrane sweep (this was awful & I don’t even think this helped). He also highly recommended me schedule an induction at 39 weeks, which I had set for this Friday.

My body had been waking me up the last week between 3-4 AM to p*e and apparently prepare me for labor because at 3:40 in the morning of the 24th, I had a strong period cramp and went to my routine p*e break and saw blood, not a lot just a little, like the very beginning of your period. I was pretty positive this was it and then I got my first contraction, starting in my back. So I woke up hubby and we already had most everything ready to go, but not those last minute things.
Anyways, we get to the hospital and they checked me at a soft 6 cm dilated and 85% effaced (meaning my cervix was very mushy & almost disintegrating).

I got the epidural at around 7-8 cm dialation & at 6:30 AM. I got settled and they made sure the epidural meds were nice and evened out on both sides this time (my first was not so even 👎🏼). And then we started pushing out baby at 9 AM and got her out at 9:43 AM, 6 hours after contractions started! My OB caught her and after baby girl got on my chest/stomach for skin to skin, she helped deliver my placenta quickly, which was funny because my OB said he never had a mama tell him she was delivering the placenta before. 😂

Highly recommend using a mirror while pushing on an epidural to see your progress since it can be difficult to feel yourself push. I also recommend telling the nurses you’d like to push in a position that keeps gravity in mind. Although I was still on my back, my legs were in stirrups and my pelvis was angled down, even with an epidural! My nurse, Denise, was an AMAZING coach and made me feel so seen, heard, and comfortable .💕

Mia Rose was born at 8 lbs 12 oz & 20 in long. She did beautifully and we are heading home in a few hours! 💖

Asking opinions!
My husband has blue eyes that change colors. I have brown eyes. I swear, our almost 5 mo old son's eyes change colors, even though its still early for his eyes to be their set color.
All 3 pics taken within minutes of each other.
Do you think they are changing colors constantly like his dads? Or just adjusting like they are supposed to?

okay mommas be honest here..Would you ever accept a USED car seat from a friend/family member if it looks fine?

I wanted to share my birth story in case it can help any moms who are about to give birth, especially if you have to be induced like I did. I know how scary it can feel at first.
My due date was January 19, but a week before that my doctor told me I would have to be induced on January 16 and come to the hospital the day before. I was really nervous because at my last ultrasound they said my baby boy was big and tall. They told me that’s normal in Indigenous families, but I was still scared I might end up needing a C-section.
When I got to the hospital, they inserted a catheter to give me medication every four hours to start my labor. The next day my cervix was still closed, so they had to use balloons to help it open. Two hours later I was already in the delivery room. They removed the balloons, they were about the size of a tennis ball. Later they broke my water and the contractions started. I went into the bath to relax, and when I came out I asked for the epidural right away. About an hour later I was already 10 cm dilated. I pushed for 20 minutes and then my baby was here 🥰 The most beautiful pain of my life.
Puamun-Malik, which means “dream” in my Indigenous language, weighed 4.14 kg. They didn’t tell me his length, but he is BIG for a newborn. The funny part is that his dad and I are both pretty small, I’m 5’5 and he’s 5’8.
His dad didn’t want to be involved during my pregnancy or even at the birth, which was really hard for me 💔 But I’m okay. I’m strong. I have my family supporting me and I’m so grateful for my beautiful baby. Right now he’s staying with my mom while I get ready to move into our new house in a few days.
If you’re scared about being induced, I just want to say you’ve got this. Our bodies are stronger than we think 🤍
Here’s some pictures of my son :
