@allfree15 I love it too. In my hard times, I go back to her account & read things to help me. You've got to do what feels intuitively right to you, otherwise you'll harm your own psyche I think!

@allfree15 If it feels wrong, don't do it. Read some of lyndsey hookway's work. Sleep training doesn't help baby sleep more, it helps parents sleep more as they aren't disturbed.

@christopher000 Colic? If so, do what you need to do for comfort & survive. I don't think there's a problem with them gaining weight quickly, right? Too young to make "bad habits". Breastfeeding is about more than nutrition, & is for comfort.

@grandmaof4 Yes that's what I was told with my little sleepy baby. After 3 hrs wake him up.

@micahdh I read a sleep person who six drowsy but awake is the worst as they wake up & are startled/confused that they're in a different place. Either awake or deep in sleep is best!

@boutsour Yes I got tested for MMR & chicken pox immunity when I started medical school. It's fairly straight forward. Apparently I was not immune to one of mmr (can't remember which) & had very low chicken pox titres. I had a booster!

@dugger Also I guess mums with health issues are more likely to have c sections & their genetics are affecting how baby grows up. Eg I have autoimmune diseases & I had a c section. My baby has my genes (please god let him favour his dad's health lol) so will be higher risk for auto immune issues.

@angel898000 Baby also had 9 months inside you!

@allfree15 Read lyndsey hookway. Apparently babies can't self soothe. It's our job to help regulate their nervous systems & calm the autonomic nervous system to sleep.

@allfree15 You're doing great, it's a hard job. Do take help from others whenever you can!

@evergold Yeh I guess we're lucky that both of us can do it but mostly I nurse to sleep whereas my husband can rock him. I can sometimes rock him.

@allfree15 Why? 4.5 months is tiny. Baby is doing exactly what babies do at this age :)

@dkwassom Mine came back at 6 weeks & I was still nursing two hourly at night. Devo'd!

@dreamer30 You'll get a lot of good advice here. Can I just say, I love how you are researching this for her & your baby. You are already being a wonderful dad & partner. It's probably my hormones but it's making me choke up that so many more men these days are completely involved in everything...

@tlc1 Was that necessary?

@dreamer30 Slightly personal I guess but is your wife pooing OK? That could be causing nausea & is very common after c section, with dehydration, pain meds, lack of movement etc. Something like macrogol is taken with water which helps on two counts!

@zjmcdon98 I really want my son to use one because of the sids risk but he won't take it! There aren't really strong opinions either way in the UK but I read about it on reddit so wanted him to take one.

@annlei I was given it age 2 weeks old... There's a no nutritional value to it either!

@sharbysyd I thought it was formula feeding lol wondered if formula was said to be better for nausea. Oops!
