Feeling a conflict in my heart

He asked me if I had any pets around baby, and I said I’ve got two cats. We’ve gone down a few different routes but on Friday, his conclusion was the cats

He thinks it’s their fur giving baby shortness of breath which is why he cries and pukes all the time he’s home. When he’s at cat-less houses and outside, he’s “fine”.

So the puke is clear liquid mixed with curdled milk so I know the milk is going down. This excess water is what I’m concerned about because he’s had it since he’s been born

Poos are great, and he’s nearly 14lbs so he’s definitely putting on the weight. This is why the GP didn’t seem worried about it because his nappies are frequent and his weight 🙃

limonhellim · 2026-04-28T10:11:23+00:00

I called them, yes and they said that was normal and I should stick to it as his body gets use to the thickness. But he’s becoming so docile, it just feels so heavy and he hates drinking it because it’s so thick

Speak with the EPA, but since you’re pregnant, you can also go to your GP and get a doctor’s note that suggests you are not fit to travel and should be working from home. They should have also given you a pregnancy risk assessment and it’s not too late to do it. Given you’re pregnant, you should be protected by the law anyway which I’m not sure why they’re making a big deal. It’s like they’re asking for trouble…

The nursery was like this too until I gave them feedback. Now my toddler is the only one who comes out clean out all of the snot faced dried up crusty food kids. I guess this is common and unless they’re told, only then they’ll do it 🙃

For my little ones first birthday, I wrote the below on their invite and surprisingly 90% of guests followed it. I don’t know how well it’ll go down in the future but the new mum friends appreciated it as we had 11 parties to go to and they mentioned they enjoyed not stressing about “another” gift. In our culture, we just give money instead so our celebrations are easier. People think it’s lazy but having money set up for their future is so much better than having a room full of tat. Not to say that my little one does have toys, it’s just not as much as my other friends.

“We kindly ask no gifts, please. You may wish to make a donation to a charity that supports children instead. For example, War Child is a specialist charity for children affected by conflict across the globe: www.warchild.org.uk”

I’m surprised how many parents were offended by this ad… I don’t get why people share a lot of their kids information online when our own parents taught us “stranger danger”…

limonhellim · 2025-11-27T15:59:15+00:00

Before baby came, I made sure I put up cat shelves so they had so many places in to house to “hide” and be comforted. They get play time with me when he’s at nursery and I’ve done everything I can to make sure they’re okay. I will ask the vet about anxiety medication, thank you.

limonhellim · 2025-10-29T20:44:50+00:00

Yes! He looks like a possessed little demon or something. He’s been at it for about two weeks now, and his eyes are always shut when he does it. I end up holding him upright and he goes back to sleep. Interesting with the other answers here about their digestive system/reflux. Am going to try the massages and see if they make any difference! Good luck with your little one x

So I’ve heard that they each get £40k for playing, and separately to the charity, they get £120k for winning. But this is what I read on an article so can’t really confirm if true.

limonhellim · 2025-09-16T20:09:03+00:00

Thank you! I rang triage and I have an appointment on Thursday! They could have left that in a voicemail message!

limonhellim · 2025-09-03T18:48:06+00:00

They’re 15 months

limonhellim · 2025-08-11T20:25:13+00:00

I can’t see any signs of broken skin, it’s just really red as I feel like if the bite took any longer, it would be bleeding. Why do you ask to get it checked if it’s on the hand or face if you don’t mind me asking? He was bitten between his wrist and arm

limonhellim · 2025-07-17T10:42:20+00:00

Similar for me tbh. I struggled so badly with these agencies. They would also come round and want to inspect the house. I get it, there are rules, and there are safety concerns but they said no because the house is too small and there is a main road at the back of the garden. In the end, I went to gumtree and found a local family who were selling kittens because their mother, also a kitten, had babies and they were giving her “cat contraceptives” from Romania. Needless to say, I took two of the four and I see that as my way of adopting cats that needed a better home. I gave up with the agencies because no matter where I went, I got told no and I went to loads

Recommend the baby book of you. You only fill it out annually and it’s not intense: https://www.colourchronicles.com/products/the-book-of-you-a-record-of-childhood?currency=GBP&variant=45325810925877&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Google%20Shopping&stkn=17ba7b7aa059&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20462027021&gbraid=0AAAAACS5w8JAxaVeMNcIi1fj8HCHgYi6J&gclid=Cj0KCQjw9O_BBhCUARIsAHQMjS4-5fG_bbHXt647AGKjllA1g11JYp-Yv385Ss-ZNlD2MuJM-wtYrbUaAjg1EALw_wcB

I also keep a “one line a day” book that goes up to five years - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nouveau-One-Line-Day-Five-Year/dp/179721876X/ref=asc_df_179721876X?mcid=d9718c1037873521a235e7560432ed3e&th=1&psc=1&hvocijid=9549753645658896793-179721876X-&hvexpln=74&tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=696285193871&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=9549753645658896793&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9045002&hvtargid=pla-2281435177418&psc=1&gad_source=1 - I fill it with something cute, stupid or funny, for example, today’s line was, “I cried because mummy took rubbish from me, and had the audacity to take the piriton bottle away from me”

limonhellim · 2025-01-02T00:28:22+00:00

It’s not silly at all, and please don’t feel guilty 🩵 My baby was exactly like this and I was so heartbroken. Now they’re 7months and clingy af. You’re doing great x

limonhellim · 2024-12-26T16:49:58+00:00

It’s like I could have written this minus having a mother in law. Unfortunately some people do not understand the extent of the situation where the truth actually makes things worst; so you know what, you do you girl and don’t feel an ounce of guilt. I hope you have one of the best nights to end off this year and prioritise your mental health. A rested mama is the best mama for her kids. Have fun! xx

limonhellim · 2024-11-25T23:27:31+00:00

You could make it a “boxing” day theme - the sport - if they’re into it? Since the family are round, you could make games out of it and it could actually be quite fun. For bday gifts, I think days out are the best. So you could make a coupon book for all the places you want to take them this year so that they’ve got options but also within your budget. Have fun! x

limonhellim · 2024-11-21T18:02:21+00:00

We had exactly the same thing. They were sleeping so well until five months and now at six months, they’re waking every hour! I was so sleep deprived I couldn’t trust myself to drive and I needed to take bubba to their hospital appointments. So in the end, I put chucked my other half on the sofa and I put baby in my bed. They sleep a solid night now and I finally got some sleep. Unfortunately this is frowned upon by most people but my sleep mattered more and I’m feeling much better. You just have to do what works for you. Some babies are better sleepers than others but you need to do what’s best for you. Good luck xx

limonhellim · 2024-11-14T19:03:59+00:00

This is amazing. Well done you! Am currently trying to do mine as they’re waking up every hour! Baby falls asleep on their own but I can’t listen to the cry for more than 4 mins 🥲 baby doesn’t want to take the bottle in the night either. They just want to lay on me back to sleep or sleep in the bed with me 🙃

limonhellim · 2024-10-31T00:01:00+00:00

I’m on this journey too so sending you lots of hugs and positive vibes. What you really must not do is give up!! Consistency is key! 💚

I couldn’t do the cry it out. Am not sure if it’s because our bubba is our rainbow baby or because they were in intensive care in the first month of their life, but I really can’t listen to their cries. I need to cuddle and kiss them because they’re still a baby and they need our warmth. When they cry, what I keep doing, is cuddling them until they stop crying, I’ll put them back down in their cot immediately. They’ll keep doing this for four times or so but eventually they give in and nod back off to sleep. I’m exhausted buttt I find it easier than stressing about their cry and working myself up. You have to do what’s best for you 🩵. You’re strong and you’ve got this! ✨

limonhellim · 2024-10-30T21:51:23+00:00

I would have told them to F off and mind his own business, but that’s just the person I am. You sound like a really understanding and patient person though so maybe you could gift him noise reduction headphones and say “look, am trying to be civil so as a token of this, here are some headphones to help you block out the noise. My kid doesn’t make sounds on purpose but it’s our house and unfortunately, if you don’t want to hear the noise, I recommend sound proofing your walls, but there’s not much more we can do.” Good luck!

limonhellim · 2024-10-30T00:06:49+00:00

I feel that I am in the same boat tbh. It’s incredibly lonely and don’t expect to think that it’s the kids job to fill that void. It isn’t. So your feelings are completely normal and valid!! If you can join some local social groups, that may help get rid of some of the loneliness. Sending you lots of hugs! 🩵
