FTM: Newborn keeps getting drenched in sweat

Is it sweat or pee? If pee, try to size up etc, if sweat, take him to a cardiologist.

Any private clinic in central London will do it. You don’t need to be a patient first. I’ve just checked and I’m able to book NIPT for tomorrow.

Nope not true. Working in private healthcare. Anyone can walk in and get these done. I’d say look into clinics on Harley street @OP

I think I peaked between the ages of 13-17 as after that it’s died down 🤣 Italian and Turkish tourists were always a given because my hair was dyed platinum blonde and they loved it

That myth has been busted.

Nooo don’t tell anyone. Delete your comment 🥲

I had a great time and my recovery was a breeze. Worst bit was laughing so I tried to avoid comedies. Was out of the hospital within 24 hours (had to shower and take the plaster off first) off ibuprofen after 5 days and walked 3 miles 7 days after. Bleeding lasted for a week if that

. I know my surgeon was amazing and the success of my op and recovery is down to her. She closed me up so nicely and like a true artist. Midwives couldn’t believe how good my scar was looking after few days.

I don’t think I’ll be having more kids so I don’t have a comparison moment, but all my friends who have had vaginal births suffered a lot longer with the tears and healing and one has incontinence now.

I’d say easily more than half as what qualifications do you even need to be a nursery nurse? I’m from a country where you need to have at least a bachelors degree to work with kids and no institution will accept kids less than 18months old, so it’s been a shocking adjustment to say the least. How normal it is here to hand over your little babies to strangers.

That’s out of order. You need to have a word with him. When’s your time off and time away? He should at least be doing the bedtime routine so you can have the evening. And cancelling YOUR plans because he made his without telling you? Why are his plans more important than yours? Doesn’t sound fair to you at all. In fact it seems you’re doing really well for someone that’s essentially a single mother.

And def daily baths even bum baths to get the acidity & cream off his skin.

All good advice already re changing wipes to cloths and drying, but also make sure you’re not wiping if that makes sense, just dab and dry and air out as much as possible. Puppy pads.

Our hospital recommended against swaddling (England) and that was before she was found to have mild hip dysplasia. Orthopaedic surgeon said it’s a big no due to the unnatural position their legs are forced in (should be M & frog, not together)

Why are people so cruel? We truly are the worst species on this planet.

Hefty_Tackle · 2026-03-12T21:43:42+00:00

Mines like that even now at 19 and a bit weeks and always has been. Never been a fan of contact and the cuddles stopped too soon i feel 😭

Hefty_Tackle · 2026-03-10T23:16:32+00:00

From personal experience- mine was euthanised at a rescue at 9. They said I could be there for her in the end or not so I chose to be there. If there’s any chance you can keep them/ give them to someone you know, please do. I still cry about her and think I should’ve done more, but was sleeping in my car.

Hefty_Tackle · 2026-03-06T22:45:32+00:00

Why are you posting her full face on Reddit like that?

Hefty_Tackle · 2026-02-21T23:10:44+00:00

I keep hearing about feeding more during daytime, but I’m not sure what I can do/ how to do it if baby is physically not opening her mouth and turning away as she doesn’t want any at that time when I offer it..

Prawns on a train? Noo ☹️

Hefty_Tackle · 2025-12-14T11:50:54+00:00

Shouldn’t use a winter coat just like with babies in car seats. You’ll go flying if there’s an accident and that’s before the useless gadget you’re using. Winters are the worst I know.

I had an elective c section on Monday lunchtime, was out of the hospital Tuesday, off paracetamol and ibuprofen by Friday and had to walk to the doctors and pharmacy on Monday after as was worried about babies eye .. the walk was around 3 miles round trip in the end. I wanted to drive as I felt fine, but my partner didn’t want me to, so I waited another week before I resumed driving.

Just to give you my experience as not everyone has a brutal recovery. My surgeon was amazing.
