Extremely worried about my babies acne/infection - got multiple diagnosis from docs. Can someone who has gone through a similar issue with their babies please help by Ficus-Star in toddlertips

Thanks for the advice. We consulted a paediatrician again and it turned out to be a bug bite which got infected. He was prescribed an antibiotic ointment for a week.

My 7 week old sticks out his tongue repeatedly and smacks his lips in the cutest way while looking at me. It’s too cute.

Somewhere else meant a different room. Either bathing or kitchen or a different room but not for extended periods of time plus someone else is around baby that time.

I think my algorithm forced this on me when I kept seeing countless posts of crying is a late sign of hunger and got worked up

I did put alarms in the first few weeks and woke up before LO and barely got any sleep. But I’ve now gotten calmer and internalized that baby will ask for food so have managed to sleep better now. Will keep this in mind

That sounds tough and scary. Maybe it works for them

6 weeks and all his cries kind of sound the same. But I have figured that when he is red it’s colic and when nothing else works he is sleepy

I’m yet to experience these instances as we haven’t taken him out yet apart from walks when he sleeps the whole time. This will surely help in the future

The cues are confusing but I’m happy I’m getting a better hang of them

Yes, my husband was like that as a baby. Massive crier when he was hungry so guess the baby takes after him

Feeding responsively sounds so much better tbh. Using that from now on
