Just curious, how were all your babies diagnosed? I’m still on the fence about whether or not my son has it, I’ve just seen on google they can do a blood test. His diarrhoea has stopped, but his skin is still bad, and he’s been sick more on the new formula, when before he wasn’t really a sicky baby!

It's a very controversial subject and before anyone comes for me I am not saying either side is right or wrong. I know a lot of people won't want to comment on this through fear of others views but if anyone doesn't mind discussing it I'd just like to know has anyone opted for not getting them or chose to delay get...

Okay so I am an avid gardener, I am now 8weeks🤰🏽, and I have still been gardening to help with the nausea. However my baby’s father is really nervous abt me smoking with the baby, I’m not. But this is our first child and I’d like to get some opinions so we can come to an agreement.

My little one has jabs on Wednesday. Any tips or tricks? I’ve heard about giving her calpol before. Anything else I can do?

Does anyone’s baby have CMPA? What are their poo’s like? And what other symptoms do they have - I think my baby could possibly have it but doesn’t have any obvious physical appearance symptoms, rashes, spots etc.

Was attempting to go out and I'd just done my little girls nappy, put her on the sofa, turned my back for 2 seconds and she rolled off the sofa and hit her head on the floor Screamed for 20 minutes, nothing I was doing to comfort her was really helping. She seems fine now and has had all her bottle. Just feel reall...

I am 33 weeks and 2 days pregnant with my first a baby boy, I have had some really bad stomach pains these past 2 days I’ve been thinking they are Braxton hicks bc I’ve been drinking raspberry leaf tea for a easier labor when it’s time. Today I wake up with really watery bowel movement. Is this normal? Is my body ju...

My LB is 17 weeks and ebf, he’s not had a dirty nappy in 5 days and I’m starting to worry! He seems fine and his tummy is soft, but his farts stink! He usually goes at least once a day. There’s been no change to my diet and the only thing different for him is that I’ve been using Ashton & Parsons powder for teething...

My 11week old hasn’t pooped since last Tuesday. He is on Cow & Gate formula, i have just started to give him Cow & Gate Comfort (less than 24hrs ago). Spoken to health visitor and she said to give him the instant bottles as they have laxatives in. Tried to get a doctor’s appointment but surprise surprise.. no appoin...

What are you washing your babies in now? A smaller bath like the shnuggle or just filling up the bath now? 🛁 Also, for those who celebrate Christmas, what are you planning to get your little ones? 🎄

Has anyone had Cmpa diagnosed without having baby vomit/poo blood? Our little one is so uncomfortable and has other signs but doctors won’t consider until there’s blood

My LO is due his first set of immunizations on Wednesday and I’ve had some advice and read several sources about giving Calpol before the injections as a preventive measure and another at 4-6h after. Did anyone do that? I was thinking to only give it to him if he is poorly and not as a prevention

I turned around for 2 minutes to make her some porridge i didn’t see her put play dough in her mouth but i saw her fingers in her mouth im guessing she did put some in her mouth as few moments later she vomited. By the way I made the play dough at home with a lot of salt. She is fine in herself but should I be worried?

What baby bath seat is everyone using? Or are you using anything to sit them in during the bath at all? We have the angel care 6+month seat but my baby girl seems to be too chunky to fit in it properly. She comes out with red marks all on her legs 😕

My son is 6.5 months been weaning just over a month now and he’s doing really well with a mixture of purées and BLW. He’s pooping most days but only getting a little lump of hard poop each time, he’s not uncomfortable and I wouldn’t say he’s constipated but I thought his poops would be abit bigger/looser since he’...

My baby is squirming/wriggling during feeds and pulling away from bottle and then crying like his tummy hurts. What is this? I’ve tried infacol & gripe water doesn’t seem to be helping at the moment.

Due to have our first round of immunizations and I am wondering if I can make plans for the day after or if he will be quite unsettled still

1 week newborn is SO gassy! My first was not like this at all. Anyone with similar issue with helpful suggestion? Not sure he's big enough for gas drops yet was holding off to see what his doctor said. He is also eating like crazy 2oz every 1-2hours 😵‍💫
