Starting a blog as a new father to help me reflect on my new adventure in to fatherhood! Will talk about the activities I do with my son, the sleepless nights, my concerns, and happiness.
Last night. So my baby boy Alex had a restless night last night. I thought I had it aced with calming him down during the night when he had a bad dream and then putting him back to bed in the next bed but I was wrong. Must have only had two hours sleep last night. That’s when I decided to right a blog.
Midwife. Due to my baby having unplanned weight loss the midwife team coming in ever day, this increased the worry on my wife and I especially as we were trying to document everything he did to help the midwife work out the best care plan. Thankfully I believe he is improving but will have to see if he has gained weight back to his birth weight tomorrow, 21 days after his birth.
In Teesside there has been an increase in Non Accidental Head Injury (NAHI) cases in infants.
Midwife. The old term was Shaken baby Syndrome. Sadly it is on the increase in Teesside due to Covid-19. If you have concerns please contact the NSPCC for support.
