5.5 month old seems to always be hungry! Like every 45mins! Started weaning a few days ago, not much is going in which is fine, but her breastmilk appetite has gone wild yesterday/today. Also she’s having small amounts frequently of green poo… not sure whether to worry about my milk supply?? Could just be part of t...

I think I’ve caught baby and I in early stages of oral thrush. After seeing so many negative experiences with nystatin, I’m really hesitant to use it on her, Especially with a baby with tummy discomfort already. The doc even said she would advise to wait and see except for the fact that I’m having some burning/sting...

I think my baby’s EBF poop doesn’t smell bad- in fact I think it smells ok 😃 (ok I’ll admit I enjoy the smell 😬) also I enjoy picking my toddler’s nose when she has dry boogers. I’m now thinking to myself, am I actually friggen gross??

Hello! My little boy has been having cows milk for nearly a month now and the past week he’s been extremely constipated crying in agony when trying to pass bowel movement. When he does manage to pass it’s rock hard. Any advice?! I don’t think he’s allergic, I know it’s harder to digest but not sure what to try!

Anyone else 18 month old suddenly became clingy and whiny? I don’t know if this is just a faze or a taster for what is yet to come!😰

Hi moms! My baby is 2 months old and been having discomfort from gassing and constipation issues. I hear different things about how giving pacifiers either triggers or relieves colic issues. What are your experiences and opinions?

I was with my sister and nephew on Sunday, and my sister told me my nephew was unwell yesterday and today has broke out in chicken pox. Is this something I should worried about? Is it dangerous for a pregnant woman being around chicken pox? Thanks

My 6 week old boy is struggling having a poo, he is crying in pain and I have tried all the usual bicycle legs tummy massage and warm bath but nothing has helped. Any ideas ??

Hello mamas. I’m gonna try and make this short because I’m desperate and I need help and opinions and advice as quick as possible ( any rude commentary please keep it to yourself ) 5 month old babyboy has tongue tie. I’m being bounced between gp and health visitors because they refuse to release it because they sa...

Anytime I give my 6 month old any food and he gags he throws up. Is this normal? Anyone else experiencing something similar?

my LB is almost 8 months and been weaning almost 2 months now (BLW) and of course his poos have become thicker but last few days they have been hard and solid (only passing a few at a time so quite small ones) and looking more like adult poos but he is not in any pain or discomfort when passing his poo so i’m unsure...

My little boy (6months old now) was very poorly with RSV in November (4months ago) and I noticed he had a raised lymph node behind his ear which the doctor confirmed and said it may never go down or could just take time. It’s smaller than the size of a pea. I’ve noticed about a month ago he has 3 others (same size)...

Does a squirmy baby mean they are having gas pains and are uncomfortable? He will be 4 weeks old tomorrow and when I put him in his bassinet to sleep, he will stretch and move a lot and then be awake again. He is moving his arms and legs a lot and acting like he’s uncomfortable.

First time experiencing constipation in an infant. Kiddo is seven months, hasn’t pooped since Thursday. We started infant Movicol yesterday. For those of you who have experience with this, how long did it take to clear the constipation? Kiddo has needed to poo but has looked super uncomfortable for days now. I’m hop...

My one month old has an inguinal hernia and breast milk jaundice. The hernia requires surgery. They wanted to get his blood for a cdc/wbc and bilirubin check, poked him five times unsuccessfully, so they just got a heel stick for the bilirubin, waiting on the lab results now. His blood pressure dropped below normal,...

Settle a debate for us. Did you bathe your boys together or separate?

My poor baby girl has been constipated and having a tough time passing bowel movements since transitioning from formula 😭 we started whole milk 2 weeks ago but I just recently switched to goat’s milk as it is easy to digest last night. What can I give her or switch to, to stop the constipation?

How often do you bathe your baby? And with or without soap?

I’m just curious how others handle baths with your 4 year olds? I have started trying to get my daughter more involved in self care and cleaning in the bath. It’s been hit or miss to say the least! I am not sure if I may be expecting too much of her for this age? I always give her time to play a little in the bath a...

What are some good toys for my 6 month old baby ? I’m a first time mom and not really sure what my baby should be playing with. Thanks.
