OMG 💔

I FEEL LIKE SUCH A TERRIBLE MOTHER AND JUST WANT TO CRY MY EYES OUT. I was bathing my baby and my sister showed me a new bathing technique to pour the water out her bathtub and it requires lifting the bathtub and upwards forward. The bathtub slipped backwards and my baby fell off my support down to the bathroom tub ...

Bathing

Hi, I don’t have a bath in my house and wondered if people had hints and tips on how best to bathe a baby when you don’t have a bath. We have a baby bath but she has grown out of this and need to get something new… wondered how other people may tackle this?

Poop question!

Our little one is 11 months and since weaning she often “pushes” to go and goes a little red in the face/grubty. Her poops aren’t hard (just firm/formed), and she goes daily so I don’t think it’s a case of constipation. We were with a friend today and her little girl pooed and it basically shot out and just sounded...

Poop frequency ? Constipation?

Hi everyone, I wanted to get some thoughts on something. My baby is 10 weeks old, and her poop frequency has noticeably gone down (like 3 times in 24 hours).
