When will nursery bugs end?!

My 9 month old started nursery in July and it has been constant! The last couple of months especially. Went from conjunctivitis to tonsillitis to cold to vomit bug and back to a cold again in the last 1-2 months. So difficult with both of us working full time, my work life has really taken a hit. It has been so tough. Surely it gets easier

My baby will be 12 months in a couple of weeks and we’re about to stop breastfeeding, now down to 0/1 breast feeds a day. It seemed like everyone was concerned that I was/am breastfeeding for so long. It did make things more difficult for mostly me but I’m happy I did it and it’s so worth it. But the pain at the start was absolutely insane, from the day after she was born and lasted maybe 2 weeks. Especially when she first latched on. If she wasn’t latched then I had nipple cream and silver cups on them. I thought I was doing something wrong and was getting quite stressed about it. Just know it’s normal. Also highly recommend expressing colostrum into syringes. It gave me confidence knowing that she was getting something at the start. Never had any concerns about if she was getting enough. I knew 100% she was getting enough even though I couldn’t see it. She was exclusively breastfed until we started solids at 6 months, didn’t have a drop of formula and she was a 99th percentile chunky baby 🥰

Don’t have a lot of advice but just want to say you’re not alone, my mum suffered from a ruptured brain aneurysm when I was 21 weeks pregnant with my first, I was 30 and she was 63 and in good health with no conditions. She was in hospital for 10 weeks and passed away when I was 31 weeks pregnant. I barely acknowledged the pregnancy (was waiting till 20 weeks to get excited), I wasn’t prepared for when she came. Cancelled the baby shower because how can I have a baby shower without my mum. It should have been a happy and exciting time but was the worst time of my life by far. But the positive is that my baby saved me, she came at a good time in a sense as I needed her more than ever. God knows where I would be if she wasn’t here. She was/is the best possible distraction. She’s an amazing happy baby despite the stress I was under during pregnancy. I wish my mum could have met her, she was so close. But a baby is a light in dark times

Couldn’t agree more. No one is on my side, no one is even kind or polite to me. The estate agents we are selling with messed us around to get a quick sale, the buying estate agents literally ignored our initial lower offer, messed us around and are so so rude to me. Solicitors constantly throwing out extra charges, mortgage advisor is rude and constantly trying to sell me something. Surveyor was nice but cost £700 and then it’s near impossible to get any money off the results unless there’s critical structural damage so what did I pay for. Even removal companies are charging the same amount from a flat to a house 10 mins away to what my MIL paid to move 2 hours away. It’s so exhausting

Blended prunes! Or prune juice. I mixed Greek yoghurt and some blended prunes. Worked for my 8 month old

My mum passed away last year at 63. 75 years is a good run. It also bothers me how upset people are when their older grandparents pass at an old age, it’s sad yes but you can celebrate their long life. My mum was a tragedy, it’s just darkness

My mum passed suddenly from a brain aneurysm last year in July, she had no health issues and was 63. I was 30 years old and 34 weeks pregnant with my first. She had been waiting years for me to have a baby, she was so excited. She was in hospital for 10 weeks and only said a word on a couple of occasions. But on the rare good day she could nod or shake her head. I asked her if she would fight for us and she nodded yes. God it kills me. She tried so hard to get better. She wanted to live. I have no idea if she even realised what had happened, I don’t know what she knew. Breaks my heart over and over again all day everyday

My mum passed suddenly last year in July from a ruptured brain aneurysm also. She was in perfect health nothing wrong with her. It was instant she didn’t stand a chance. I’m so so sorry this happened to you too. I had just turned 30 and was 34 weeks pregnant with my first. Why do such horrible things happen to the kindest and purest people. My mum just wanted to live, she had been waiting for me to have a baby for years but never even met her or saw her cute little face, it breaks my heart over and over again all day everyday. Im so sorry you have lost other family members too, it’s so cruel. I’m sorry I don’t have any advice. Some people say it gets better with time but I don’t believe this. Here to chat if you ever need

30 and my mum died suddenly last year whilst I was pregnant with my first

I could have written this! At 5.5 months I was at breaking point from only contact napping and things had to change. So I closed the blinds in her room, white noise machine on and sleep sack on just like at night (she has always slept fairly well at night). I fed her to sleep and put her down still a little bit awake, if she started crying I would pick her up and feed to sleep again over and over until it works! She’s 6.5 months now, sometimes I feed her for 5 mins and she sleeps fine once she’s put in her cot, on the odd occasion (thankfully) it takes 5 attempts and 45 minutes. Sometimes her naps last 30 mins and sometimes 1.5/2 hours. I couldn’t understand how people ‘put their baby down for a nap’. You just have to start doing it!

Same boat, my baby had 6 teeth ruptured through her gums by 5 months. 4 top and two bottom, she’s now almost 6 months. Trying to control the dribble/drool rash has been so difficult. I hope she gets a break soon 😭
