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 little one is constantly constipated as in he only poos maybe once every 3/4 days. He is always straining and crying and it breaks my heart.

Hey mommas, my baby has been testing solids for a little over a month now and he’s been having issues pooping. I’ve tried prunes, prune juice, Mommy’s Bliss Constipation Ease, and water. What else can I do to help him? 😩

How long did you wait until you gave your newborn babies their first bath?

Hi all, my daughter is nearly 9 months old, breastfed and taking 3 meals a day. For the last 3 weeks she’s been suffering with constipation, she will roughly go once every 3/4 days and it doesn’t seem like a lot in her nappy when she does go. She’s visibly straining and getting very upset when she does as it’s clear...

Hi, how did your babies react to eggs (it you introduced them)? I gave them for the first time today (just a little spoon) but my lg (6.5 months) didn't like them, she was gagging and not really taking them. I don't know if this is a coincidence but she seemed to be spitting up more today and it was like a clear thi...

but after examining a few times they believed there was no tear. Could this anal fissure be due to birth? I have not been to the Dr due to embarrassment, however it is extremely painful when passing stools.

Has your baby had hand foot and mouth? How did you manage it? Any tips? How long did it last for you? What was your worst days? Did they continue with nursery if ok in themselves? Nervous mama here
