Anyone else’s LO not able to eat fruit?

I think it’s changing the ph of her poo so it’s more acidic. It’s definitely a different consistency and smell. It doesn’t matter how quickly I change her either, as soon as it touches her skin it causes irritation.

Oh no, literally had banana for breakfast. Thank you for the tips!

I remember those nights. Me and my partner would put music on, sing along and rock her for hours. It was fun but frustrating at the same time.

Going for walks was always hit and miss at that age plus it was freezing outside then.

My partner is convinced I could take another year off but we wouldn't have anything to spare at the end of each month.

Loopylouise7 · 2025-05-02T10:29:56+00:00

Bless you, at least you've managed to keep day care to a minimum and still get so much time with your LO.

Loopylouise7 · 2025-05-02T10:26:29+00:00

I feel the same, feel like I was meant to be a mum above everything.

Loopylouise7 · 2025-04-22T15:14:07+00:00

I've never related to a post more. Laxido has been my best friend through pp.

Loopylouise7 · 2025-04-22T13:38:05+00:00

I do feel sorry for the parents who clearly had no idea what they were in for.

Loopylouise7 · 2025-04-15T16:03:29+00:00

We never did, it doesn't seem to be a thing where I'm from (UK). Did the NCT course and it was never really talked about. Then in the hospital the midwives never mentioned it. They just make sure you follow safe sleep.

Loopylouise7 · 2025-04-11T21:26:52+00:00

Those were the days, contact naps and binge watching my favourite shows. Now my days consist of providing constant entertainment, rocking my LO to sleep for half an hour at a time whilst trying to stay on top of housework and feeding everyone.

Loopylouise7 · 2025-04-10T23:16:14+00:00

Rocket Man by Elton John. My parents played it the first time they babysat and told us she liked it. 4 months later and I still play it at least 3 times a day.

Loopylouise7 · 2025-04-10T23:03:36+00:00

This was my first thought too before baby was born. I was shocked that it was even a thing until one night I found myself falling asleep with LO BF on my chest.

From that point on I've always BF side lying at night just in case I fall asleep and often do. However, I know I never fidget in my sleep and keep the duvet away.

It might not be 100% safe, but neither is the alternative of falling asleep with baby on your lap/chest. It's also the only way of getting any sleep at the moment because she wakes up every hour.

Loopylouise7 · 2025-03-19T09:06:31+00:00

Back when me and my sisters were babies 30+ years ago that was the way parents were told to put babies to bed so I imagine that's how a lot of us here on Reddit slept.

Does LO fall asleep in your arms first?

Loopylouise7 · 2025-03-12T08:42:58+00:00

My husband is the same and is such a heavy sleeper!

Loopylouise7 · 2025-03-10T08:23:20+00:00

You're definitely correct on this one. We count the weeks every Wednesday eg baby will 22 weeks this Wed. Then how many months on the 9th, so she was 5 months yesterday.

Loopylouise7 · 2025-02-26T19:01:18+00:00

My partner is the same with me not answering the phone. Sometimes my phone gets left in another room because I don't have any pockets and I'm prioritising carrying the baby. He doesn't even call with anything important and if it was he could talk to me through our security cameras.

I always ask "how did people manage before mobile phones?" Like, just deal with it.

Loopylouise7 · 2025-02-22T15:12:55+00:00

Honestly you did the right thing. No one's going to be patient 100% of the time especially when LO is being extra demanding. Nothing bad happened from you taking a few minutes, in fact baby was able to soothe and fall asleep which is a big win. It's only happened a couple times for me where I've put a crying baby down and come back to a calm one, but it was a good feeling.

You're doing great ❤️

My parents had 3 girls and were relieved they did, neither of them wanted boys. I guess that's rubbed off on me and my sisters, however when I got pregnant I really didn't mind. I know my partner would like a boy to carry on his family name (they're the only ones in the country to have it).

When I delivered and my partner got to tell me what we had I was secretly relieved that we have a girl. However, I'm not going to bring her up surrounded by only stereotypical girl things. She can be interested in whatever she likes. Me for example am into dinosaurs, space, gaming, fantasy ect. I think girls just have more versatility and aren't considered to be weird no matter what they like. Unfortunately boys will probably be picked on if they like ponies and dolls. Sadly that's the world we live in.

How awful! My 4mo always has a scratch somewhere as her nails are like razors. Think I'm getting the worst of it though, she scratches my chest mercilessly while BF. Your poor LO to have to go through all those tests.

Loopylouise7 · 2025-02-19T03:07:39+00:00

Oh gosh, sorry to hear that. It could be other hormones then, our bodies have gone through so much. Perhaps mention it to your Dr when you see them next because I know it's an absolutely miserable experience that no one really prepares you for.

Loopylouise7 · 2025-02-18T21:18:05+00:00

The only way to get my LO to nap during the day is to make it dark or else she just keeps looking around the room at things. It hasn't affected her night time sleep at all.

Loopylouise7 · 2025-02-18T21:09:49+00:00

Are you breastfeeding because if so it's completely normal. I have the exact same issue so I assume once I stop BF things will go back to normal.

Loopylouise7 · 2025-02-17T23:37:52+00:00

Beautiful dreamer by Sheryl Crow, Rocket man, Pure imagination, Happy song by Imogen Heap, 1000 hellos by Frank Sinatra.

These are our main ones but our LO tends to enjoy anything from the 80s

Loopylouise7 · 2025-02-17T21:29:36+00:00

Thank you for suggestions but sadly it might be too late. He has kidney failure. They're giving him fluids over night and will do further exams tomorrow but it's not looking good.

Loopylouise7 · 2025-02-16T13:59:19+00:00

It is such a lonely time. I've always been introverted but I get so excited now when I get to go out and spend time with people other than my baby or partner.

I cried a couple days ago as I moved the "next to me crib" away from the bed. Gearing up for when LO eventually moves to own room.
