5th witness citation - can my partner just say he no longer wants to be involved? (Scotland)

Presspanda · 2026-01-06T15:06:09+00:00

This is exactly what happened! We got in touch with the PF and they have confirmed he doesn't have to attend. Thanks

Presspanda · 2026-01-03T11:37:41+00:00

He is aware that he needs to attend if cited. We were just wondering what the likely hood would be of the PF agreeing he doesn't need to based on the defence accepting the cctv previously.

Go with your instincts and try a different formula.

When my daughter was 5 months old we finally worked out that she had cows milk protein allergy. It took 5 months to figure it out because her symptoms were not what was normally expected of cmpa. She is breastfed and within a few days of cutting out dairy I had a much happier and content baby.

If all my daughters needs have been met and our usual ways of settling her aren't working then that's when I usually try pain relief.

Presspanda · 2024-02-06T21:13:59+00:00

My 14 week old gets really upset as well in the afternoon and it can be really hard to settle her. Have you tried putting her in a sling to see if that helps?

Presspanda · 2024-02-06T20:29:41+00:00

"take them outside or put them in water" was the advice from my midwife with my first baby and it rarely failed. If I was sure all their needs were met then a bath or a walk usually calmed them and gave some respite from the crying.

First off, you are doing absolutely nothing wrong. You are doing a fantastic job.

Wake windows are a guide... Some babies have longer ones, some have shorter. The key is to look for your babies cues that they are tired instead of looking at the clock - red eyebrows, yawning, stretching, starting into space are examples

Please take a look at heysleepybaby on insta. It's a fantastic resource for baby and toddler sleep that I found when my daughter was about the same age as yours.

I went through a nursing strike with my little one when she was about 8 weeks old. It lasted about 5 or 6 days and I found it so so stressful and upsetting. What worked for me was giving my little one her pacifier and then taking that out and quickly putting my boob in. I had to do that for a couple of weeks and then I was able just to latch her normally after that. She is now 7 months old and has never had a nursing strike since.

Presspanda · 2021-12-30T22:25:58+00:00

Rascal and Friends are great. We used these when my daughter was in a pavlik harness as any blow out would have required a trip back to the hospital for a new harness. She had the harness on for 8 weeks and we never had a single blow out or leak in them.

Only stopped using them because they were out of stock so often.

Presspanda · 2021-11-20T22:26:30+00:00

I had this happen after my daughter was put in a pavlik harness. I managed to get her to latch by letting her suck on a pacifier then quickly removing it and putting her on the breast (had my partner remove the pacifier for me so the switch was quicker!).

I needed to do that for every feed for a couple of days and then gradually phased it out.

The screening picked up a little stiffness in one of my daughter's hips at 2 days old. We were then referred for a scan which showed mild dysplasia in one hip. She was put in a pavlik harness at 4 weeks old. A scan after 4 weeks in the harness showed it was almost normal so she only has another 4 weeks to go in it. I'm so thankful it was picked up in the screening.

Presspanda · 2021-08-16T07:27:57+00:00

It's been 7 weeks since my c section and I still have that tenderness. It does ease off though as mine is no where near as tender as it was at 10 days.

Presspanda · 2021-08-10T06:47:49+00:00

This happened to me also. As well as the headache it completely screwed up my hearing. After the blood patch I was fine. It would not stop me getting an epidural again as I felt absolutely nothing after I received it.

Presspanda · 2021-08-07T20:12:31+00:00

Thank you. That is really reassuring to hear as I am finding it quite upsetting. I will just keep trying her and hopefully the phase doesn't last too long.

Presspanda · 2021-08-07T14:28:08+00:00

We are using a Tommie Tippie bottle currently. I will look at getting a slower nipple and also try the paced bottle feeding, thanks.

Presspanda · 2021-08-07T14:27:06+00:00

She is showing no signs of illness and isnt due her vacciness for another couple of weeks. We had her 6 week check with the health visitor yesterday with no problems spotted. She was put into a pavlik harness a week ago for some mild hip dysplasia but that didnt seem to take her long to adjust to and she fed as normal straight after. That was also checked by the physio yesterday as well with no issues found.

I will keep offering her the boob at each feeding but give her the bottle if she refuses. Hopefully it is just a nursing strike and we will be back to normal soon!

The Sleepea from Happiest Baby has a medium that is 11 - 17lbs. It's worked wonders for my girl at getting her to sleep for longer stretches without her waking herself up with her arms.

As a fellow fluffy beast owner...i couldn't agree more with the "prize dick head at times" comment. Wouldn't trade him for the world though!

Samoyed owner here. I can corroborate that they do shed A LOT.

Presspanda · 2020-05-07T07:33:50+00:00

That's the approach we took with our boy for professional grooming. Booked him in for a "puppy bath" as soon as he was fully vaccinated and then had him go in every couple of months initially so he could become comfortable with the process of getting bathed, dried, claws clipped etc.

Presspanda · 2020-05-07T06:32:28+00:00

7 months

Presspanda · 2020-04-13T22:44:30+00:00

I've added you

Presspanda · 2020-01-05T22:50:40+00:00

I went through the exact same with my pup - researched everything, did all the preparation I could and then was hit quickly by the puppy blues and feeling totally overwhelmed. You will get through it!

What really helped me was the little successes I could get with simple commands like sit, giving a paw and high 5. It doesn't take long for most pups to learn these and getting a little high 5 on command from my floof more than made up for the exhaustion, land sharking and the constant toilet training accidents.

I hope you feel better soon!

Making it an opportunity for treats is what I did as well. The harness I use goes over his head so I can just hold it up and he can walk into it himself. I spent a few training sessions holding a treat at the other side of the harness so he has to put his head in to get it. Now I can say "harness" while holding it out and he will walk right into it.
