Trust your gut: It's called motherly instinct for a reason
Two years ago my son woke with what I believed was a swollen cheek. He was 17 months old, so I assumed that it might have been related to teething.
We went about our normal day...I still didn't feel right about it so I called our GP and booked an appointment for that day. They weren't sure what had happened but mentioned that although unlikely, he may have had a stroke and that we should go to the hospital.
Burping a Newborn: Why, When, How and What if...?
Burping your baby can be a lovely opportunity to bond but it can also be a very frustrating experience if your newborn is unsettled. Be patient as you learn what your baby needs and likes and what makes them feel better and remember that every baby is different so something that may work for one baby may not work for another.
