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

Today my son fell off the kitchen worktop onto the kitchen floor. Thankfully he is fine. I’m not. I’m beside myself over it and can’t forgive myself. I’m a terrible mum. It was an accident but it shouldn’t have happened. I feel so lucky he is ok, the outcome could have been unthinkable. I’ve been feeling like I’...

My baby is 10 weeks old and has been on laxatives for the past 3 weeks because he would go toilet every couple of days and would scream in pain. He is on formula, we do the stretches and exercises and baths to help but nothing seems to work. He is still weeing and passing wind with no issues. I don’t want to keep hi...

What haircuts have you given your little boys? Looking for ideas!

Hi so my sons almost 27 months and i keep ringing the health visiting team to try get a new health visitor as his left before he turned 1 and they never gave us another, and everytime I call or email they just say they will contact me to book closer to the time but its looking unlikely. I looked up the checklist for...

My LO is 3 months old and for the past 3 days thas had really smelly poos that are green and muscusy and on Friday a couple had specks of red in them. She is EBF and has had no issues before. She has pooed around 3/4 times a day past couple of days where usually it's once in the morning, once in the evening. I had a...

Anyone else's LO had croup? LG is 11 months, we had to have an ambulance out as she was struggling to breathe. She had steroid meds, hoping she is better in the morning. Just wondering if anyone has been through something similar?

Okay mamas I’m just wondering how your babies poop is mine is almost 5 months and it’s pretty solid is it normal or should I take him to the doctor.

Baby is outgrowing her little bath. Any suggestions on baby seats to go in the bath? Or should I buy a toddler bath? TIA

I can’t trust my LO to be left downstairs on her own for long yet

My 11 month old hasn't pooped in 3 (almost 4) days (very unlike him he poops at least once a day) and I know every baby is different, but I'm concerned! I went to a dr and they said breastfed babies can go a week without pooping and to come back in a week - but I don't want to leave if that long? My son has a ha...

I don’t know why I feel weird about this but I just do. My 15 month old has only ever had a bath with myself or my partner however today my partner bathed her with her 8 year old Half sibling. I was suprised as the 8 year old is very conscious getting dressed and undressed in front of us now but with my baby she was...

My 14 week old does explosive poos at least a couple of times daily. Is this normal for a breastfed baby?

Hi, My 4 week old babies have been constipated for around 2-3 days now. We are waiting on a GP to call. We have always had problems with their trapped wind too. Because of this, changed to a comfort formula. We were using infacol but clearly it didn’t work so have changed to Dentinox and it seems to get the burps ou...

My 8 week old little boy has been very restless during feeds over the last few days and peaked over the last 24 hours so some advice is well needed now 😩 We started him on anti reflux formula 2 weeks ago and seems quite constipated since and also during feeds very restless, uncomfortable and refusing to take the…

Had a txt message to book for the 27-month review. Few concerns with some questions little one can't jump for example. He also flaps but only at home, he can't climb stairs by himself ( doesn't help being in a ground floor flat) I wonder what they see as more of a concern. Also, what comes of the meeting if certai...

My sons 8 days old and I think he’s got really bad constipation. I’ve changed his formula and took him to the GP and she was useless. His stomach is hard, he’s pooing less frequently and he’s crying a lot, I put him down when he’s sleeping but 10 mins later he wakes up tense scrunched and crying. I feel helpless and...
