Baby Care

Before I book a drs appointment my daughter was allowed 2 ounces of cool boiled water when she was around 8 weeks old, she’s 13 weeks now can I give her anymore or is it still up to 2 ounces of it a day? I have heard about trying some brown sugar in there if so were any of you told how much to put in? I want to tr...

So long story short, I had a conversation with my MIL back in december about kissing my 4mo child on the lips. She was pretty receptive and agreed not to do it. Literally the other day, I walked into a family gathering with my LO and she runs up and kisses him on the lips. I stood there absolutely STUNNED. Moments l...

My baby has his 16 week injections next week. I know it sounds so silly but the last couple of times the nurse has spent ages chatting with him, playing with him and getting him to smile before after giving the injections. It makes me feel so sad that he has built trust with her and she then hurts him (twice). I kno...

So my little one has just had the 16 week injections. Just curious to see if anyone has had second thoughts about getting them done in the first place? My other half was speaking to someone who hasn’t given their little one the injections and he came home and was doubting our decision to do it as he was really unset...

Very random but my 15 month year old hair is growing rapidly into her eyes. Want to tie or push it back but she screams and cries when we use slides... any baby friendly ties people can recommend that can't be pulled off easily!

My baby has an appointment when she’s 4 weeks with a BCG nurse at the hospital. What is this for? Thanks in advance 🥰

Does anyone have any tips (if there even is any) on how I can stop my just turned 1 year old from pooping in the bath?😂 It’s becoming a bit of a regular trend, no matter when the last poo was before the bath.

Baby girl will be 12 months in 2 months time, we’ve moved house but to stay on their system I’ve put my mother in laws address as our temp address even though it’s not… I don’t want to change gp’s the one we are at are amazing!! But would this mean that the health visitor would come to our old address? Or can I up...

My little boy is 10 months old, ever since he was born he has struggled massively with constipation & has always had small bottles of milk, I’ve been backwards & forwards to the gp & contacting my health visitor but they all just say he’s constipated & it’s normal, I’m not stupid, this is my 2nd baby & I’m also a pa...

LG is just over two weeks old. Tried Kendamil which hasn’t agreed with her and she was very sicky. Now on HIPP organic but her poos are very watery and she’s doing at least 7 dirty nappies a day? Is this normal? My first was constipated so never have experienced the amount of dirty ones. Unsure whether to try anothe...

Anyone else’s toddlers hate the bath? My LB used to absolutely love having a bath (he used to hate us washing his hair but would enjoy the bath) he now screams as soon as he sees the water running and will be in there to be washed and that’s it. I don’t know what to do 😭

Hi my daughters had dark brown stools last two days she has had blueberries the last two days could this be the cause? Just looking for some reassurance or should I call gp

I’ve had my appointment and questionnaires come through for the 12 month review but I’m confused about when I’m supposed to do it. Little one will be 10 months on 20th Feb, we’ve been sent the 9 & 10 month questionnaires which say they go up to 10 months and 30 days but our appointment isn’t until she’s 12 months. A...

If you live 30mins- 1hr from your family how often are they visiting you?

How long are we supposed to dry with a paper towel/air dry for?? When can we start drying with a regular bath towel…?

just had my letter through for the 10-12 month health visitor check, with the questionnaire, how is everyone feeling about it?
