Constipated baby?

4week old Baby is formula fed, and she hasn’t had a poo in over a day! This has happened once before but then she started up again. She seems really uncomfortable and frustrated. She gets red in the face and gets all scrunched up. Tried baby massage and bicycle legs. Any help on this? Thank you

My 8 month old baby hasn't pooped in 2.5 days – when do we need to take her to be seen by a doctor?

I'm finding all kinds of conflictingbadvice online. The most confusing that it depends on the consistency rather than frequency, but she hasn't pooped so I don't know the consistency. She's been going 4 times a day until a couple weeks ago, then we suddenly had some days when she'd only go once, others where she'd s...

Colic

Has anyone got any tips for a colicky baby that aren’t already on google? We’ve tried everything with our 6 week old LO and the night times are really rough.

Baby gagging on hands

Hey y’all. My daughter turns 5 months in a couple days. She’s teething and loves putting her hands in her mouth. But sometimes she gags herself. Especially when she’s tired - I think she’s more forceful with chewing on her hands when she’s tired. Anyway, she sometimes gags herself and today she actually vomited poor...

Poop question…

Hey guys! Random question - but how much are your LOs pooping?! Mine is 15 weeks was going once or twice a day but over the last week or so he’s been going almost after every feed which feels like a lot! He is dribbling a lot though so I’m wondering if that’s also a reason? I might be over thinking which I do for ev...

Tongue tie

My lactation consultant told me to check the baby for tongue tie. Does anyone have experience with it? How's the procedure? My LO is bottle fed and gaining proper weight, so his pediatrician is not concerned. At the hospital, the pediatrician checked his tongue but they never mentioned a tie.

Advice please

My partner and I were in a glass lift with our baby, as it stopped our family were tapping on the other side of the glass. My 5 month old put her hand on the door just as it sprung open and it just nipped her fingers. She screamed for 15 minutes and then fell asleep. They don’t look swollen or bruised, they were sli...
