Has anyone applied for 2nd child to be added to child benefit and heard back yet? I just looked on HMRC and it said that I would get a response by June???? Does that mean they’re going to back date my payments from June to February?

Hi mommies idk if this is a dumb ask but I’m unsure how to clean my sons wee wee.. I was told by one mom to pull the skin back, but my own mother says to NOT do that. Also how many wipes should I be using to clean? How often do you give your sons a bath? Currently I give him on 2x a week. My hubby is circumcised a...

Has anyone done any baby first aid courses? Online or in person?

I’m 32 weeks pregnant and I have my first health visitor appointment tomorrow. (Was originally supposed to be when I was 27 weeks but she kept cancelling) Any idea what this is for, what they ask etc??

Hey has anyone had their 9/12 month review yet. Just wondering what you do at it and how long it usually takes as I have to get to work after. Thank you :))

Since this morning my 2 week old has been so unsettled. Raising his legs, making grunting sounds, won’t settle properly, he keeps burping and passing gas, and hasn’t really slept properly. I’m reading so many things about how it can just be normal but has anyone else had this and what have you done about it? He make...

My little boy has been on SMA ALTHERA since he was 8 weeks old due to severe rash/hives, congestion and constipation. He is now 15 weeks old and still has bad reflux he is on Omeprazole but his congestion is horrendous! I'm trying nasal drops and a calpol vapour plug in at night.....I'm wondering if the congestion i...

I've had no issues with baby led weaning but this evening my 9 month shoved so much chicken in her mouth and choked, I had to give 2 back blows to get it out, she absolutely screamed after and gagged again before eventually calming down and now she's back to her normal self but it's now bedtime and I'm terrified to ...

Hey ladies After 3 months (breast supply dropped significantly), I started my baby on kendamil formula. From the get go she took to it really well, no reflux, no constipation etc. Saying this, I’ve noticed the packaging and seems like the ingredients has slightly changed to what it was before, I read something abo...

I think my 13m old is still a long way off needing one (as it’s still short at the front), but the hair around his ears annoys him and he’s growing a little mullet! Just wondering if anyone has cut their baby’s hair yet? I’ve trimmed around his ears before when it got too long but that’s about it! I’m scared to touc...

We have the Shnuggle baby bath tub which is great but baby has started to kick at the water which goes everywhere, so we’re looking for something that can be used in the adult bath. Are those mesh bath supports any good? Or those foldable baths with the mesh or inflatable supports? Thanks!

Is anyone else still giving their little ones food even if they’re constipated? Or should I stop the food and just give milk until baby starts to poop again? I don’t want to keep giving food and create even more discomfort for my little one and a horrendous back log of poop 🪵

My little girl is 15 months old and has the worst constipation I’ve ever seen in a baby. Sometimes she doesn’t poo for up to 3 days and when she’s ready she really really really strains to the point her eyes budge and the veins are showing in her head. She’ll be straining for 2 days and then she releases. When she e...

Baby boy hasn’t pooped in 24 hours, & idk what to do it makes me nervous 😭

Hey 👋🏻 this is our first baby and I am already worrying about navigating visitors after the baby arrives. Wondering if anyone has past experience, or how long you waited before having people over? I want enough time as a family before letting the grandparents in!

Any tips for reflux baby? We do pepcide, paced feedings, gas drops pre- bottle and make sure we burp after each oz, and we sit upright for 30 mins after we eat. we are also on gentle formula 😵‍💫 I feel like I’m going crazy. Is it normal for him to be spitting up a good bit still? i feel like he is not spitting up…

Hey my daughter has become petrified of the bath. She cries before she gets in and during. She will not sit down or even kneel in the bath. Have I done something wrong? Is anyone going through this also? If so any tips on how I can make her love bath time again 😭
