So I’ve been wondering . This is my first baby and he’s 3 weeks today and when they are sleep why do they smile is it because they are working on their face muscle or is it from being gassy or from poops ?

Her due date was 12/30, but initially the ER visit started as a check to see if my water had broken in the shower. Turns out, it didn’t! We were just about to be discharged from the triage, when my blood pressure spiked and baby girl’s heartbeat started to slow down. At that point, I had to have an emergency C-Sect...

My 11 days old have colic, what medicine is safe ? Or what should I do to help her? She is in so much pain! I’ve tried massage, diffetent position, nothing helps

My 11 days old have colic, what medicine is safe ? Or what should I do to help her? She is in so much pain?

Anyone else’s LO have an umbilical hernia? My baby’s seems to have gotten larger, but she is eating/sleeping normally and I can still squish it back in when she is relaxed. Looking for advice on when these usually go away and if I should be concerned that it has grown in size

LO has her 8 week jag next week, how was everyone else’s LO after theirs? How many doses of paracetamol should I give that day and am I okay to bath her that night still or should I wait till the next day incase she’s sore?

Any advice on bringing home a newborn whilst toddler is ill. Worried about my newborn catching anything 😔

Yesterday my house flooded due to an extremely blocked waste pipe. While I was showering my partner and son were in the living room playing. Some how the water from my shower caused the toilet to start pouring basically sewage throughout the house, my partner screamed for me to come down and help and I barefoot and...

The scale keeps tipping but it’s mostly a no I don’t want one this time. Coz of how they did last time - not physical damage, injuries was all mental trauma But how am I gonna get thru it otherwise? Looking at other things but I’m no good at mediation Any thoughts experience

My daughter hates shower time. She screams so much and won’t stay still and wriggles so much that I’m scared she’ll hurt herself. She has shoulder length hair and I try to make sure I’m washing her hair properly but she makes it very difficult. How shall I tackle this shower situation as it’s shower day tomorrow and...

Anyone else’s baby really fussy for a few days after jabs? LO had his on Thursday but has been crying lots in the days after which isn’t like him. Not sure if it’s coincided with a growth spurt maybe or totally unrelated but nothing seems wrong in general eg reflux, gas etc.

My lg has become constipated really suddenly (up until yesterday has been going 5x a day, then one fully formed, very hard one yesterday and small hard ones throughout today) She is breaking my heart and seems in quite a lot of pain when they pass (happy as Larry otherwise!) I’m giving prunes, water, fruit, veggies...

My 10month old is happy and healthy. He was intolerant to my breast milk and at 9 weeks switched to nutramigen which he loved and was a different baby over night. Started weaning at 6 months and added dairy slowly which he seemed ok with but his poos have always been on the runny side and quite smelly! Even from bir...

Has anyone else found weaning has disrupted their little ones sleep? My baby is so gassy- to the point he literally can't settle as he has tummy ache and is farting so much! This isn't for allergen foods either. It's happened with parsnips, strawberries and potatoes. Am I maybe giving him too much? I tend to give hi...

For those whose little one's had side effects starting 7-10 days after their jabs, how long did they last for? My LG just wasn't herself today (fussy, super tired, slight fever), 7 days after her jabs, and I'm wondering how long to expect it to last. Thanks!

Hi there just asking other mums who have applied how long its taking to hear back from the gov portal - i applied last Monday and still haven’t heard anything and my son is starting nursery on the 6th of jan

I started to give my 6 months old baby solids, he was fine in the beginning, but for last week he is only passing poo like tiny chicken nuggets, his face is getting red when he is pushing. I tried prune purée, massage, drinking more fluids, warm bath, but nothing is helping. Is this normal or shall I seek medical at...

Any tips on how to help baby poop? My EBF baby who will be 8 weeks in 2 days hasn’t pooped in almost 5 days. She doesn’t seem too uncomfortable but has been having a lot of smelly gas, HV advised this can be normal for BF babies around this age. Over the last week or two she was pooping every 2/3 days but I’m just...

Hello, wondering if anyone has an advice my daughter is 5 weeks old she’s been on pepti 1 and is now on nutrimagen (changed 3 days ago) and gaviscon but she’s still really unsettled during feeding and struggles to settle afterwards she’s often quite sick I’d say out of 8 bottles she’s sick after or during 6 of them ...

My girl just climbed on the side of the sofa and she leaned over the arm and fell off and her lip was bleeding ☹️ this is her second fall this week, the other day I was getting her off the coffee table and I was literally walking towards her and her falling off happened so fast! Is this normal for this stage 😩 I…
