The best response I can give you is what I’ve been giving the biggest thing to worry about when it comes to breathing is if they are breathing so heavy that you can see their rib cage. They really have to be straining to breathe and deep slow breaths where you can see rib bones is when I was told to be concerned.

As a mother whose 3 day old ended up in NICU bc of a meningitis infection which was detected by seizures, FILM THEM and act as fast as you can. Trust your instincts, if it doesn’t look right it probably isn’t. Moro reflex is definitely different to seizures!
@EmmaHubbard

Very true. Do trust your instincts! Our little one ended up in the children’s hospital at 19 days old with meningitis. My husband had just finished sayign our bubs eyes were doing funny things and was asking me if it was normal. Immediately after that our little one’s eyes rolled to the side and his body went stiff. I asked my husband if that was what he meant and he said no. I then said we need to check his temperature which was over 38 degrees - so straight to emergency and then after tests plus a lumbar puncture we found out he had meningitis. So I totally agree if it doesn’t feel right, record the movement and go straight to the doctors. Beatrice I hope your little one made a full recovery. I know I felt completely helpless seeing our little one so sick.

Hi I was wondering if you have done a video on normal baby movement after birth? I have a coming 4 month old that for the first 2 months never moved his arms or releases his fists. I feel like it was not normal so I started to work with him a lot on releasing his fist then moved to working on him stretching his arms. He is now headed for 4 months and can reach for things and grab them but I'm not sure he would be if I had not encouraged the movement. I'd love to learn more about what is normal movements for babies but not finding much helpful stuff as of yet.
My baby shed tears during his 1st week

baby is preterm 32 week delivery and 1 week old and he show ankel movement , hand arms movement but does not lift legs against the gravity yet after 1 week of delivery is it a cause of concern. He does not show jerky movement but ankel and arm movement smooth and fulid
My baby is 3 weeks and his eyes produce tears
We ended up in the hospital because my husband saw our days old son spot up make "choking gestures". It was reflux.
My poor sister-in-law and brother had a VERY difficult birthing experience. Their little man is just 4 days old and they're struggling with all sorts of newborn-related things, such as breast latching and, just generally, getting to know the rhythms/needs of a brand new little human. I want to offer so much guidance and support, especially as I have an 8 month old, but I don't want to say the wrong thing or stick my oar in it...What are your tips for supporting someone you love, going through the baby phase, without upsetting them or over-stepping the mark?

Hi @Tom Kins this can be really hard! I would just be available if they want to chat or if they ask questions then lead them to resources or things that you know work. As he is so young it will take them a little while to get their head around having a newborn - it is very overwhelming in the beginning. I find dropping food around or offering to come around and hold the bub so the parent can shower really helpful in those first few weeks.

Disagree with "there's nothing you can do for blocked tear ducts" and "there's nothing you can do for baby acne". My daughter is 8 weeks, born with blocked tear duct and had some baby acne when she was born. The doctors and nurses said to put colostrum and or breastmilk in the corner of the eye for the tear duct, and on the face for the baby acne. Both were completely gone within a few days. Love your videos, but please educate mamas on the power of liquid gold if they have the ability to/choose to breastfeed or pump.

It’s great that you were so proactive though! Can can be very scary at times because they do lots of unusual things and they are so little!
So I’ve been doing research on seizures in newborns(I’m a new mom so I’m doing a lot of different research to know what’s normal and what’s not) my 6 week old son has kicked his legs in a bicycle like motion ever since the day he was born. My mom says it’s him trying to work poop out but I came across links stating these can be a sign of seizures, did anyone else’s baby do this? Is it considered normal for them to kick like that? My son has made all his pediatric appointments, had all of his shots (except for his 2 month ones), he’s very alert and frequently smiles, babbles and is coming along as far as his development goals.

I'm a first time mum, my baby is spitting up or replux and it's getting so worried..she is getting gaining weight though
Pls is it formula that causes too much reflux?
The thing that terrified me was when he was asleep his face would have 100 facial expressions in a minute and his eyes were open! (So the smiley facial expressions were extra creepy). We thought he was broken, but the internet said it was normal 🤷♀️ He only did it occasionally and for the 1st month or 2.
