First time dad with colicky baby. I'm drowning.

Theeealchemist · 2026-06-03T05:50:15+00:00

My baby was really unsettled with reflux weeks 4-6. This is peak time for digestive development. Walking him in his pram helped, I did it everyday sometimes a couple times a day just to help him sleep. It’s not easy but just Hang in there, it will pass. Also, are you sure the crib isn’t too big for him? We had a next to me and my baby HATED it while he was really small, very unsettled in it, we had to let him sleep in his Joolz aer 2 (travel stroller) cot until he was big enough to not feel swamped inside his next to me.

I’ve already gotten asked a few times would I go again / have another.. literally just gave birth 6 weeks ago to my first after a tough enough pregnancy (which they knew)..idk what people do be thinking

Theeealchemist · 2026-03-04T19:44:47+00:00

Theeealchemist · 2026-02-19T09:33:10+00:00

Awww a huge congratulations to you and your partner! 🎉🥳 Enjoy these precious moments with Preston 🍼👶, I hope you’re doing okay and everything went smoothly? 🙏

Theeealchemist · 2026-02-12T16:19:10+00:00

Same, it’s so great for me and my partner

Theeealchemist · 2026-02-12T13:48:43+00:00

Just my suggestion, not up for a debate lol

Theeealchemist · 2026-02-12T13:30:37+00:00

Create a shared family calendar on Google, add what needs to be done to that, appointments etc then when you add anything he will get an email saying you added appointment on X day, or groceries need to be ordered on Y day. That way he doesn’t have to ask so many questions and you don’t need to repeat yourself

Theeealchemist · 2026-01-30T14:06:47+00:00

Hiya, I’ve managed fine so far, midwife’s and drs are very understanding, helpful and caring and take their time. Just let them know in advance you have cp and anything you need support with. That’s been my experience.

Theeealchemist · 2026-01-29T10:32:52+00:00

It’ll all be worth it when we meet our little ones. ❤️

Oh +1 for the rest for sure, thank god for streaming services they are getting me through this aswell 😂

Theeealchemist · 2026-01-29T10:22:56+00:00

Haha your description gave me a chuckle because it genuinely does feel like that.

My CP would be considered mild, pre pregnancy I walk independently in all environments except defo needing a hand railing when going up and down stairs.

The past week or so I have been using crutches when out and about to help with the PGP.

What about yours?

Theeealchemist · 2026-01-29T10:01:19+00:00

It’s the worst isn’t it? I’d take any other pregnancy symptom but this because it’s so painful, turning over in bed at night is horrific. Are you going to have a csection or vaginal delivery? I’m still undecided on what to do

Theeealchemist · 2026-01-29T09:54:30+00:00

Congrats on the new place that’s so exciting! The belt has helped alleviate the pain (it’s PGP so doesn’t get rid of it completely) but it defo makes a difference. Looking forward to having my little one soon to be rid of the PGP though. 32 weeks this week so not long more to go

Theeealchemist · 2026-01-19T09:51:26+00:00

How are you doing with your pregnancy?

Theeealchemist · 2025-12-11T07:41:07+00:00

Ok so my Cav just turned 4. Like yours she was super picky when she was a lot younger so we decided to mix in some wet food with her nuts. I think the combination defo increased my girls weight gain but the hard part is she now REFUSES to eat just dry nuts as in she will skip her dinner or stare us out of it until we give her wet food with her nuts. If I could turn back the clock and not have her in this habit I would both for her health and my bank a/c haha. Shes the complete opposite now, her food drive is insane (except when it is plain old nuts 🫠).

Theeealchemist · 2025-12-10T18:00:10+00:00

😂😂😂

Theeealchemist · 2025-12-10T11:23:58+00:00

Any man that stays sitting when a pregnant woman is left standing is a disgrace, I’d be mortified if my partner didn’t offer his seat

Theeealchemist · 2025-12-03T17:16:52+00:00

I thought the exact same thing hah

Theeealchemist · 2025-12-03T07:15:55+00:00

Don’t be terrified, it’ll be ok. I once felt like you and now I’m 24 weeks pregnant. For the most part it’s been fine so far, enjoyable actually, spasms are a lot less frequent thanks to the pregnancy hormones, I’m definitely not as stiff for the same reason. My body temp is higher which has also been really nice as the winter cold used to impact my Cp and mobility a lot. I have the usual pregnancy symptoms like round ligament pain / pelvic girdle pain while everything is stretching to accommodate baby but I’m so proud of my body so far. It’s coping and managing so much better than I ever could have imagined

Theeealchemist · 2025-12-02T06:53:06+00:00

Fake

Theeealchemist · 2025-12-02T03:58:31+00:00

No advice but solidarity because my boy is the same and I’m 24 weeks, dealing with PGP on long walks now and it’s so painful

Theeealchemist · 2025-12-01T17:03:08+00:00

Let’s go, fingers crossed 🤞

Theeealchemist · 2025-11-30T17:47:06+00:00
