I can't decide if this is normal or not. For context, I've met him several times and he's always been nothing but helpful. Then one day he gave me his number and said I could book in with him directly next time. I also wasn't sure if he just meant to use it on that one occasion or whether he was okay with me contact...

My son rolled off the bed today. I am devastated. Our bed is probably just over half a metre high. The bedside drawer was open, but I don’t believe he hit it on the way down otherwise he would be much worse off. But I do think he went to lift his head up and donked it in the bedside drawer. So he has a red line on h...

I was giving my four month old a bath, and I had the water too high and almost at her shoulders, but she was laying in her own tub that’s tilted inside ours, so her chest and front of her shoulders were exposed. As I’m cleaning her neck I turn away from her face for a second and I realize she’s been licking some of ...

I have a 4 months and half boy ( breastfeed, expressed and bottle and in the last couple days i tried some formula but he hates it ) and since he was born he struggled with “colic” also he had a posterior tongue tie which the midwife told me is ok as he have good tongue function. However he was struggling latching a...

I’m concerned because my almost three month old is pooping once every couple of days. I read on google that it’s completely normal because breast milk is easily digestible leaving minimal waste but I’m unsure because most people in the hospital said she should have multiple poopy diapers. In the hospital she didn’t ...

How often is your ebf August baby spitting up after feeds? My son had decreased the frequency and amount, but recently it’s getting quite often again?

4 days old tomorrow he hasn’t yet lost his cord but can I bath him? Or do I wait? Thank you xxx

Can someone help I can’t have meat or dairy since labour without getting really sick like diarrhoea, gut pain and stomach problems. Anyone else experiencing this??

So today we went to the pub for Mother’s Day dinner, both my boys had orange cordial which they’ve had plenty of times before. After drinking about half of it my youngest gagged and then all the liquid came back up, but then he was fine so I put it down to him drinking it too quickly. Within a few minutes my eldest...

Hey Guys, my little girl normally does at least 2 poops a day, but she hasn’t done one for nearly 2 days! she doesn’t seem uncomfortable or anything, when should i be worried?

My LG has her 1 year jabs tomorrow- I’m dreading it as I’ve heard the after effects are not great and also read lots and seen on here lots of your little ones have had rashes? I will be working the next day but wondering if I need to swap my days about in case she is not well? Thank you

Baby dad is asking for proof baby is his.. how much will this cost in the uk when baby is born?

My 2 month old had some blood in her stool yesterday afternoon and it was bright red.. It was only one diaper and I haven't seen more blood. Anyone else dealt with this? Also should I still call her doctor even though I havent seen it again?

My 14 week old is only pooing every 4/5 days ? The doctors seem to think this is normal but it gets to the point where she’s just crying like she’s uncomfortable?

My little one is 5 weeks tomorrow and for the past couple of days she’s been throwing up after a feed, it’s coming out her nose also. We have tried letting her rest after feeding and then burping, back a size down teat (which she hated) but she keeps doing it, Please can I have some advice?

So my health visitor is due round for the 10-12 check up and I know they are gonna want to look around the house and im scared they are gonna comment on my little boys room. He's on a floor bed as we didn't get on with cots at all! And I'm also in the middle of decorating very slowly as in I've sanded 2 walls would ...

My 6 week old has these red bumps which started of on his face (so I assumed it was baby acne) however he’s not got it on his face, a bit on his chest and couple near his elbows. He also gets bad tummy and poops every 2/3 days. I’ve noticed his poos have gone from being thicker yellow seedy poos to now really watery...

I prefer tips that require no equipment and can be done at home (I do have a treadmill and dumbbells-thats it)

My 4-week-old poops about five times a day on average. My midwife told me that’s normal for breastfed babies (he occasionally gets a bottle of formula at night), but it doesn’t feel normal to me since I sometimes go through seven dirty nappies in a day.

My little boy went Monday and Tuesday without pooping, Wednesday morning did a small poo (like liquid) but that was it, Thursday he did one big poo (still liquidy)and then he hasn’t pooed since. Does anyone have any advice as this is unusual for him, normally I get atleast 1 poo a day but this week has been differen...
