Can anyone recommend a bath seat please? My 1yo is too big for her shnuggle bath but keeps slipping in our big bath. It’s really awkward to sit and support her as we have a small P shape bath with a fixed glass shower screen so hard to bend round. TIA :)

Hey ladies! My 17week old has always struggled with gas and for the first 3months even struggled to poo as he couldn’t get the hang of pushing. This has improved however, now every time he wakes up he’s screaming in pain from gas. Bicycling his legs helps sometimes to pass this although the last 2 mornings he won’t...

My LO is 4 weeks old and is SO loud and fidgetty a lot of the time! I can't work out if he's uncomfortable with reflux or colic. He'll have moments of calm and then starts again, it's really frustrating me and I know it shouldn't but I don't know if it's normal? Sometimes it feels like he's an animal!

Did anyone else's baby not pass the lead test? My baby's was slightly over, and now they want us to get blood drawn to double check the levels. We live in an older home, but I have no idea why it would be slightly elevated. And honestly, I'm worried.

Has anyone got appt for 10 months assessment yet? With my first they didn’t bother until she was 1.5 years, but my boy has appt booked soon.

Also I have a small bathroom so can’t bring her in and the floor is hard. I usually leave her in the living room in her bouncer with tv on but she is too big and I’m scared to leave her sitting up in case she falls over and I can’t hear her. Any tips?

Hi ladies! I am FTM and My 9 day old girl has been really good with nappies, especially yesterday she has pooed many times as she is breast fed. Today due to pain in my breasts I have pumped and fed bottled breast milk which resulted in her having only wet nappies. Do you think it’s constipation? should I be worried...
