Health visitor

Does any one else’s Health Visitor make you feel like shit? My baby is perfectly healthy, we have NO issues at all, yet because she was born on the 50th centile and she dropped to the 25th and now maintains the 25th it’s like she’s looking for an issue. Like she doesn’t believe me when I tell her my LO takes 5-7oz e...

LO started solids

Hi all my LG started solids (veggies) and hasn’t pooed since Thursday 😩 I’ve tried everything, tummy massages, swimming, baths, given her cooled boiled water whilst feeding. I just woke up because I heard her straining to poo 😞 She’s mainly BF, has one bottle of formula a day.

How often do you shave?

Legs, arm pits, downstairs. I have a one year old. Pregnant again. If I’m being honest any interest in keeping on top of it has gone out the window. My partner mentions it frequently but I can’t be assed!! I wanna have a quick shower at the end of the day and get into bed. Does that make me super lazy or is it kin...

EBF and pooing

My little boy is now 5 months old. He is EBF and up until 3 weeks ago was pooing every day or every other. Recently this seems to have changed. For example last week he went 6 days without a poo and then passed a large stool. I thought it might have been a one off but it has happened again this week where he hasn’t...

My breastfed 5 week old has always had a lot of reflux and gets trapped wind/constipated frequently. She’s on infacol but the past few days she’s also had a few greenish poos. Is this normal?

Im slightly worried she might have a dairy allergy. Does anyone else have any experience with this?

I know it probably sounds stupid because if I'd have managed to get an appointment on time he'd have had it for his jabs, but can I give it him before he's had them? Everyone in the house has been struck down by this horrible cold, my 18 month old is dosed up as he's had a high temperature so no doubt my 8 week old ...
