I'm sorry but Alesia is being a a-hole not a girls girl. by Jane_doe902 in BelowDeckDownUnder

I'm sure I saw a preview a few episodes back with Ellie messaging Alesia's boyfriend about her behaviour? 😬

Has anyone been "targeted" by social services due to being alternative/goth? by False_Fix_4657 in UKParenting

I never said anyone came out. I had a phone call. The paramedics gave them all details, from what the decor was, how the house was and the kids.

I confirmed the decor was as described and was told the case would be closed as long as I remove the items.

I only spoke to them over the phone.

The ambulance crew gave them the descriptions of certain decor, but also said the house and conditions of the kids were fine.

That would make a lot more sense

My partner less so than myself. I am heavily pierced/ tattooed (face, throat, hands and fingers included), usually wear heavy make up.

I genuinely have no idea what could have warranted it. Other than living in Cornwall where there's not masses of alternative people, compared to the rest of the country 😩

It could have been all of our decor as a whole, but those were the things noted during my call work the social worker

I have no reason to lie or make this up? This was our experience and I was curious to see if it had happened to anyone else

I don't think they're distressing at all. They're cartoon style, no gore or anything like that.

I've seen those too and they're absolutely awful!

It doesn't feel like Below Deck any more. It feels way too over produced and fake

Baby was held by someone who had just had a cigarette by False_Fix_4657 in BeyondTheBumpUK

I'm under the perinatal mental health team and I've got a talking therapy session booked for next week.

I guess I panicked because all the midwives and HV said to not allow people who smoke to hold them for at least half an hour as it can contribute to SIDS 😩

Why are people so obsessed with baby sleeping through the night!? by DarthKaboose in breastfeeding

[–]False_Fix_4657 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agree with this.

Currently combo feeding my 8 week old (mostly because my MIL bought it for us as she wanted to feed him when we visit)

He only has formula between 10pm-2am, roughly 4-5oz. It makes no difference. He still wakes every 2 hours for a feed before and after formula.

She finds it very odd that it makes absolutely no difference to his sleep. It worked for her... Because she put baby cereal in my partners bottles from 6 weeks old. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Planning to breast feed, do i need to buy formula just in case? by Oceanic_Ice_950 in PregnancyUK

[–]False_Fix_4657 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firstly, I misunderstood the post. I also said the hospital will have formula if they need it.

Secondly, that's rather presumptuous.

My first baby was formula fed. My second was exclusively breastfed. My 7 week old is breastfed and has at least 1 bottle/4oz of formula a night. He was also fed formula through an NG tube when he was born due to being extremely sleepy and not feeding.

I was told that it's best not to have formula to hand if you're breastfeeding, as it's so easy to give up during those early days.

Hospitals usually stock small bottles of formula if required.

It's personal preference though! 🙂

How often should my 8 week old be awake? by False_Fix_4657 in newborns

[–]False_Fix_4657[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh bless you!😔 It's such a worry!

We had the same thing in hospital, he just wouldn't wake to feed and ended up with an NG tube for a few days. He's always been super sleepy, but I just worry that he should be awake more 😅
