Spit up after boob help

Does anyone else find that their baby has SOOO much more spit up these days (2 months) after boob? At this point I feel like it’s not a spit up but a mini vomit. He doesn’t seem in pain or they’re not projectile but still multiple times a day at each feed on the boob. He’s always had this but I feel like we’ve peake...

Anyone else’s LO 💩 for England?

My little guy is only 5 days old but he is constantly pooping! He had 8 poos today and yesterday, and 7 the day before, they aren’t massive but more than just a “share” 🤣. The midwives have said it’s fine but it seems excessive- especially compared to my little girl who was only pooping about once a day when she…

I keep offering milk to keep him hydrated but he ...

Star anise

Has anyone had star anise in pregnancy? A coworker has given me some in my drink, I drank about 4 sips until I realised however it’s not on the NHS website on foods to avoid but other sources are mixed messages. So worried 😩

How do you guys shower? Serious question lol!

It’s been 5 months and I have to wait for my husband to come home so I can have a shower. Some days I’m not even able to! Any advice on taking baby with you into the bathroom in a bouncer for example?
