So I am currently breast-feeding my son, and he has not pooped in five days. Naturally, I will call the pediatrician for advice on what to give him to relieve the constipation but I would like to know the experience that you ladies are having with pooping as far as your six month old, any advice? But for further re...

Hi all 7 weeks baby and I’ve noticed him getting more vomit up not only after feeds. He’s straining a lot as well but passing bowels normally and I can tell he’s really uncomfortable. GP has put him on trial for gaviscon. He’s starting to fall asleep on feeds so hard for me to burp him. Anyone had experience with y...

Little girl is 7 weeks old and for the past couple of days has just broken out into tears whenever she has gas. She will scream and squirm until she inevitably burps or farts. Is this normal to develop?? Is it something I should be worried about? She's never been like this before and it's very distressing for both ...

Tonight my 4 month little boy figured out if he gets his feet in the right place he can use his impressive core strength to push himself out of the bath seat, consequently giving my poor husband a heart attack when he had to catch him before he slipped into the water. He's so active and tall, he's trying so hard to...

Hey ladies, is 3 doses of Calpol enough for post vaccination temperature? The nurse always say to give 3 doses.

I'm 2 weeks pp and had stiches for a 2nd degree tear, I'm desperate for a bath but can't remember how long they said to wait! When I Google it there are so many different answers - one NHS webpage even says you're supposed to take baths and bathe to keep the area clean! But the midwife definitely said to avoid baths...

Any other moms here with a cleft chin or whose baby has one? I have one myself, and my baby inherited it, but I can’t help feeling a little insecure about it. Family members always seem to comment on his chin and say things like ‘he’s such a man’ because of it. I know they don’t mean any harm, but it makes me overth...

My baby is 4 (almost 5) months old and is getting too big for this bath seat. She’s too heavy to hold in the bath so what should I use next? She can’t sit unsupported yet (photo for reference currently)

Has anyone used them for their newborns? I was gifted a box of the drops, and it says it can be used from birth, but not sure if they're beneficial or good to give this young. My son is 4 weeks.

So we’re moving back to Bedford and my partner called our new housing places for people and the person he spoke to said the wet room the other lady had couldn’t be made back into an actual bathroom with a bath. Does anyone know if they are obligated by law to put a bath in? I have a 2 year old and a 7 month old the ...

Anyone else's little one started pooping in the bath at bathtime?

My toddler brought a nose tissue near my baby and my baby swallowed a tiny bit of it like he put it in his mouth and tiny bit is missing from the slobber. Absolutely shitted myself, will he be okay ?

My baby girl had her vaccines this morning and wow, I didn't expect to end up bawling my eyes out with her as well🤣

Midwife told us to just use water for washing when my baby was born but at what point is it ok to use baby soaps, moisturiser etc on baby. Dont want to start too early but his wee skin is quite dry and could use some moisturiser

I give my 2 month daughter formula feed, initially she used to poop watery but since a few days her poop has become hard. She also struggles a lot while pooping and even cries alot. What should I do?

My 4month old had her 3rd jabs yesterday & today she’s so so upset and tired and grumpy. Is anyone have similar reactions?! I’m so worried about her. No fever, just very upset even a couple of hours after Calpol & wants to be on the breast a lot. Looking for some support if I need to be concerned

So I was with my staff as we were stopped at a red light someone wasn't paying attention to the light and hit us at 30 mph. I was on my way to a court orderd visit with my 5 month old .The person behind us looked over bc a cop was near. Luckily the cop saw the entire thing. Any advice on how to get rid of whiplash ...
