My 8 week old little boy has been very restless during feeds over the last few days and peaked over the last 24 hours so some advice is well needed now 😩 We started him on anti reflux formula 2 weeks ago and seems quite constipated since and also during feeds very restless, uncomfortable and refusing to take the…

I can’t trust my LO to be left downstairs on her own for long yet
I don’t know why I feel weird about this but I just do. My 15 month old has only ever had a bath with myself or my partner however today my partner bathed her with her 8 year old Half sibling. I was suprised as the 8 year old is very conscious getting dressed and undressed in front of us now but with my baby she was...
My 11 month old hasn't pooped in 3 (almost 4) days (very unlike him he poops at least once a day) and I know every baby is different, but I'm concerned! I went to a dr and they said breastfed babies can go a week without pooping and to come back in a week - but I don't want to leave if that long? My son has a ha...
Hi, My 4 week old babies have been constipated for around 2-3 days now. We are waiting on a GP to call. We have always had problems with their trapped wind too. Because of this, changed to a comfort formula. We were using infacol but clearly it didn’t work so have changed to Dentinox and it seems to get the burps ou...
Had a txt message to book for the 27-month review. Few concerns with some questions little one can't jump for example. He also flaps but only at home, he can't climb stairs by himself ( doesn't help being in a ground floor flat) I wonder what they see as more of a concern. Also, what comes of the meeting if certai...
My sons 8 days old and I think he’s got really bad constipation. I’ve changed his formula and took him to the GP and she was useless. His stomach is hard, he’s pooing less frequently and he’s crying a lot, I put him down when he’s sleeping but 10 mins later he wakes up tense scrunched and crying. I feel helpless and...
My daughter had her jabs yesterday, all evening she was constantly crying (even with calpol) and this evening she is exactly the same. My partner and I are at our wits end. Nothing we are doing is working. Any advice?
How often do You bath your baby
My little boy is 18 months old & my gap still hasn’t healed, I have tried doing exercises but no luck. I’m just looking for other people’s experiences. I know it’s said that it’s never too late to close the gap but feel like nothings working and it’s been like this for so long. The past couple of weeks my stomach ha...
Please does anyone have any idea of what age one should stop burping a baby ?
What’s everyone doing to help your newborns vomiting/spitting back up milk? I’m worried about laying him on his back incase he chokes. Just happened again and it’s so scary especially when you’re alone.
How long did your baby’s temperature keep fluctuating? I’m constantly getting the thermometer out.
Just wondered if anyone knew what this is all about … currently weaning with a combination of puree/mash and finger foods, when feeding my son yesterday and today he kept doing this thing where he raised his arms and clenched his fists and kind of shouted then went straight back to eating 😅 there was no cough or…
her doctor told me to give either apple, pear or prune juice but didn't tell me how much to offer. he also said that she was at the age where I can offer her high fiber foods like lentils but I don't feel like offering her food since she's a preemie and most definitely isn't ready for it either.
