I’ve never had any issues downstairs issue before but after birth I’m noticing maybe my Ph is off? This is new territory for me do most people use a body wash or vitamin for this sort of thing?

Can I use bepantham on baby’s sore neck crease from spit up? I’ve only noticed it today or what else can i use to please as it looks so sore

Yes it’s normal for a baby to poop after every feed, but my baby sometimes poops THREE TIMES a feed. Last week he was pooping normal just a few times a day and then out of nowhere he started going like 10-15x a day and we haven’t changed anything he’s on the exact same formula as always. I feel so bad for him becaus...

Does anyone else’s baby gets really bad constipation? My little girl is almost 5 months and has always been constipated since she were a few weeks old. She’s been on lactulose but it wasn’t working on it’s on so we changed milk and then she didn’t pass her bowels for 5/6 days and she has a doctors appointment tomorr...

My baby is just over 4 weeks old. He's formula fed with cow and gate and tales 4 oz bottles every 3-4 days. I try bicycle leg movements and massage his tummy but he only seems to pass alot of gas, even though we wind him after every bottle. Does anyone know if changing his formula would make a difference? Or of ...

Hello, my little one will be 6 weeks on Thursday and he's still constipated on formula. He goes every 2-3 days and once in a blue moon is it the consistency that it should be. Unfortunately he's passing almost solid nuggets and I feel terrible for him... Sometimes it's mainly green and other times it's green and a l...

Has anyone given their child lactulose daughter really struggling to go to the toilet so painful and the straining is unbelievable. Do you syringe it? Was it just 5ml twice a day

Genuine question how do you all go about getting a health visitor appointment to check your child A development. Because I have been messaging for an hour and for some reason they won't book the appointment. They just keep sending leaflets over it's very patronising.

My 11 week old has always had issues with gas. It has gotten a whole lot better! But I was wondering if anyone has any magical tips for those super stubborn gas bubbles to release. We give gas drops as needed, and every night before bed. Do the bicycle kicks, tummy rubs, hip rotations, etc. but seeing if someone fo...

My baby is going to be 12 weeks. Just until recently she started to not poop everyday. Which I know is normal for EBF babes. But when she does poop it is a HUGE liquidy blowout. It is coming out every side of the diaper. Is this normal? I’m not concerned about the diaper size bc the amount of poop is just. ALOT.

My LO is 8 weeks old and formula fed. Since birth she has had pretty regular bowel movements typically going every other day. She never has a problem with winding nor has she had any problems with passing gas since adjusting to milk after birth. …but we’re on day 3 or 4 of not pooping now and I’m starting to get a ...

My 3 month old had her vaccinations today. Gave her 2.5ml calpol but can’t remember if I shook it, let alone for the 10 seconds it says it needs to be shaken for 😫 am I overthinking this?! Will she be ok??

Has anyone else found their baby/toddler having constipation when switching to cows milk? My son was due April 5th and born March 24th, he really struggled for two days crying in pain so gave him some luctalose I think it’s called and it helped him yesterday to finally unblock himself, doctors have booked an appoint...

Ok mamas I need help! My LO has been on formula and cows milk mixed together to help him ease in to it. But even since we introduced him to it, he has been severely constipated to the point he is in agony! The poo is LITERALLY ROCK HARD and he screams when pushing it out. Today I had to help him with my finger in it...

I’m after some advice/help/support. Please try to stay away from judgment/criticism. My 3 year old boy is suffering terribly from constipation and it has been going on for weeks now, on and off. The first time he had it he managed to pass his poo after a couple days but the times between him doing a poo are gettin...

If you have a toddler with wide feet, what trainers are you buying for them? My little boy is usually in H width at Clarks but the options are so limited. I want to get him some nice trainers, but am struggling to find something wide enough. Any recommendations would be appreciated!

Hello everyone! If any of you haven't vaccinated your child, or have vaccinated but not fully, and know a lot about it, I would love to talk and discuss. I’ve been reading a lot about vaccines lately and would prefer not to do everything on the list. Please reach out!

Hi moms My 10 months old got gastro. He used to be a very healthy boy and he liked to eat specially solid. But now, he lost his appetite not even keen to have milk. Anyone has any experience? Hints?

I’m concerned because my almost three month old is pooping once every couple of days. I read on google that it’s completely normal because breast milk is easily digestible leaving minimal waste but I’m unsure because most people in the hospital said she should have multiple poopy diapers. In the hospital she didn’t ...

The past 2 nights my baby has struggled with bad nights sleep, loads of leg slamming etc. The ONLY link I can make which has been different to past days is that he has had a bottle of the ready made liquid Aptamil as we’ve been on the road and it’s been easier. When I think back to previous bad nights sleeps I think...
