12 week jabs

Just looking for some advice. My little one had his 12 week jabs today and has been very sleepy/unsettled. He was sleepy with his 8 week jabs but wasn't particularly fussy or upset. The nurse said he wouldn't need Calpol this time around but I feel as though he has been alot worse with this set of jabs. Has anybod...

Why are no vaccine posts coming up?

This is concerning. Why can’t we see vaccination posts from before as if they are just trying to withhold any information against it as they can.

He pooped same day of birth but I've always heard meconium is extremely sticky and this poop just wiped right off my son's skin like any other poop so I'm wonderin...

What age did your child start showering instead of bathing? And also washing their own hair?

My daughter has 3b/3c hair so I’m specifically looking to hear from POC on when you taught your kids to shower and start caring for their own hair. Right now I wash it in the sink once a week because it’s easy for me to use the hose and ensure all products are washed out and it really hurts my back leaning over a ba...

Flip out!

If you haven’t been you should definitely go! It’s not the cheapest but for £11.50 the kids get to play on the trampolines and soft play, plus get food. Much easier to let them be more free and wild. Exploria isn’t set out great in my eyes. Canni just let them go, as much.

Newborn bathing

How often is everyone bathing their newborn and how do you do it - in a normal bath, with you or in a baby bath? With soap, just water? How long? Do you use a thermometer to check temperature? I feel like he doesn't get dirty really apart from his nappy area which obviously is cleaned thoroughly multiple times per day.
