Has anybody rang triage for increased tightenings and what was the outcome? 37 weeks today and this evening, the Braxton Hicks / tightenings are ruthlessss 🥲

Hello all. My LO has horrendous reflux- still trying to establish the cause and have been referred to gastro & also investigating allergies. He’s sick after ever single feed multiple times and is EBF. He can be sick 40 times a day! Not small possets either. He’s had tongue tie cut, had an oral assessment and seen an...

My baby is ebf and the feeds in the late afternoon and into the night he will pull off the boob and hysterical scream and cry, go back on and repeat. I do burp him but he rarely burps and is usually so settled after a feed! He doesn’t do it in the day? I’m so confused and fed up of it tbh 😥

Does anybody else’s little one poop 2-3 times a day?

Hi all. My 14 month old has never every cried in the bath. However yesterday she screamed till I got her out and has done the same tonight. Nothing has changed at all, although she did take her first step today. Has anyone had anything similar?

Hello! My 8 weeks old has been more gassy than usual (very stinky farts) and is doing loose poops like this one. They are like a soft paste. He did 2 dirty nappies like this one today. Is this normal? I know that their digestive system is quite sensitive as it’s developing around this time but wanted to check.

So specific question. We are waiting to get my son assessed for autism but on a wait list for 6-8 months. But I also want to get genetics testing done to see if I may have passed it down to him or if it was environmentally passed. We want to have a second child and I’d like to know if I was the parent who passed i...

My daughter (1 y/o) keeps having these weird poops, almost like sand. I can’t wipe it off easily and most of the time have to put her in the bath. Why is she pooping like this? Could it be an allergy? She’s fully weaned but has chronic constipation. Pic in comments!!!

We thought my son had cmpa after several formulas non made any better we have now gone back to cows milk and still on omeprazole for reflux… the only symptom he now has is screaming after a bottle which could just be colic we are using colief and gripe water as can’t use infacol due to acid reflux. Is there anythin...

Anyone used it or know if it’s pregnancy safe?

My baby had been pooing constantly for the last 4weeks since birth. She would do little ones all the time and then always do big normal poos. She has now stopped and hasn’t pooped at all since 2 evenings ago. I can tell she is trying and getting upset but she just can’t do it. Anyone else had this?

So I have this bath seat to start using in the big tub with my 9 month old. We tried it to day and he loved it but I’m a little worried about his ‘bits’ getting squished or trapped in the leg hole areas. Is there other bath seats anyone would recommend that don’t add to my already irrational anxiety 🙈

hey babes, i have a very constipated 7 month old and i consulted with her pediatrician and they told me about pedia-lax. i’ve done some research and it looks like it’s only safe for children 2 years and up. since she mentioned to use that first before coming to be seen, it should be safe, right? has anyone used this...

Hub wants to wait til baby is older but I have tongue tie myself and don’t want this for my baby. Because he thinks the baby has to go under and it makes him anxious. But I see so many people on here doing it so I was wondering are you putting your babies under? What’s the process?

My daughter used to LOVE bath time and I was adamant I would take her swimming but life happened and I had to keep putting it off. Now that I really want to take her she’s started hating the water and screams and tries to run away at bath time. Is it pointless trying to take her swimming still?

Hi ladies! This is my second and while he was a great sleeper and pretty simple the first week, things have gone left pretty quickly. He is fed by bottle primarily pumped breast milk, w occasional breastfeeding sessions. We use the Dr browns anti colic bottle. The last 2 weeks his episodes of gas, discomfort, and cr...

Anyone else’s bub been a long stretch like 7-8 days without a poo. Exclusively breastfeeding!

So I've just got back from my little ones first hair cut and I can safely say the whole experience has left me and probably him, traumatised! The salon we went to, which is a kids salon, was packed and a little overwhelming (I know that's what to expect from booking a Saturday appointment!) However, the staff were n...

Hi, please let me know. My son is not doing many dirty nappies. He is struggling so much. He puts so much pressure on his stomach to pass number 2. But isnt passing? Anyone else?

My daughter has lost her hair from chemotherapy but I find lots of headbands aren’t comfortable for children. Can anyone recommend a brand, shop or any particular headbands that are particularly comfortable for their girls? She is 5. The girlier the better. Thank you
