Just recently my newborn is only eating from one breast and alot of the time less than 10 mins.. I try to stimulate her offer the other side but she just won’t take it. She has plenty of wet diapers a day I just don’t know why the change all of a sudden?

So we had another visit to hospital with my son in agony with his stomach. Doctors said it’s likely down to his constipation. I have all the right medication for him and so on but he’s more constipated than not and it’s not just a phase. Also since he’s been about 1 he’s never ever done a poo unless he’s at home and...

Dear mums xx if you have already had 3 years old vaccinations with your little ones - how were they afterwards? I appreciate it's individual but still :) also - did you give them Calpol before the vaccinations or only after if they had a fever?

Hello! Does anyone have experience in a young baby with chicken pox? I’m worried because she’s only 8 months old. Is there anything I can do to help her ? Other than calpol? Anything I can buy or try? Thank you

I’m so nervous about him getting them because I heard that they can be very unsettled after & that it really hurts them 😭😭 can anyone tell me how their little one got on & what I should expect?

We’ve had to delay our daughter’s jabs until end of this week. Did you give Calpol after, and then how long for? Is a temperature common, and did your child have sore legs? I read a rash is common after 10days? Any advice welcome thanks

What are your thoughts? She is acting normal and not bothered but she just did this poo and it looks strange to me

Now on day 4 of no poop. He’s farted tons but no luck getting a poo out no matter how much he tries. He’s 8 weeks today I’ve tried infacol which stopped him screaming but not helped the pooing. Should I just give him a drop of laxative?

It’s the dreaded jabs today. I’m not ready to hear that cry or for the unsettledness. I’m really worried! Any tips or advice to make this go easier. Please, from one petrified mama
