First aid baby course
Hey! Does anyone have any recommendations for a first aid baby course? (Pref in person, focus on choking etc). We’ve started weaning now and before I introduce anything even remotely chewy I feel like I need to be updated just in case the worst ever happens. 🤍
always hungry!
My baby is on anti reflux formula and has 5oz which I recently upped the dose however even after finishing his bottle, he’s still really hungry or is hungry like half and hour later. Why could this be? I’m going crazy!
Can reflux look like hunger?
I don't want to make the symptoms worse by overfeeding but he constantly looks for the breast.
Pads or knickers

Constipation
My little girl is 10 weeks old and hasn’t had a poop in 4 days now. She’s formula fed has 5oz every 4-5 hours. She’s never been great for going and normally goes every other day but this is the longest stint we’ve had. She had her first set of vaccines on Thursday and thought having the rotavirus would cause her to ...

Bath Filter Recommendations
Does anyone have any recommendations for a bath filter (the ones that hang for the water to run through) for their little one? Our son has started to get dry skin and a bit of a rash and we think it's because our water has changed recently and maybe is a bit chemical-y for his skin
Burping
Are you still helping your LO to burp or leaving it? I find that because my LO is on the move and moves a lot after a feed, I struggle to help burp him. And he will burp later but he also has reflux so I worry not burping him soon enough worsens the reflux

Bath time chaos
My boy is nearly 14m and has started walking in the last couple weeks. Bath time now is hideous. He refuses to sit down and wants to stand the whole time which is dangerous and now requires one person holding him up and one person washing him. I miss bath times in his seat which were like 15/20 mins long and now it’...

9 week old
My little boy has been soooo whingy and whiney this week. He’s been off his bottles and just generally unhappy. Is this a growth spurt thing? Colic? It’s driving me mad. Today has been the worst and I feel like I’m going crazy. Anyone else?

How often are people ebf babies pooping at 3 months? Mine still goes a few times a day (2 or 3) most days, occasionally we get a day where he doesn’t go, but that’s rare!
Still spitting up on Nutrimagen
Was prescribed it yesterday, and if anything it’s worse. She’s still spitting up loads, and she also isn’t as keen on the milk as she was aptamil. I’m meant to wait a month to see how it goes, which I will. But is this normal? How long is it meant to take to work? :/ I’m also still giving her infacol at the same ti...
Straining and crying
My newborn who is 16 days old has been straining his back when I burp him and really upset, crying. I can see he is trying to squeeze poo’s out/ farting but when I change him it’s a small amount. Not too big. It’s affecting his and our sleep as I don’t know what to do. I tried massages. I tried everything but it fee...
EBF baby having trouble pooping
My little girl is 3 weeks old tomorrow and since she’s been born, she has pooped every day MULTIPLE times a day like clockwork. We were going through a lot of nappies it was so often 😂 and now suddenly over the last 3 days she’s going like over 24 hours without a poo and then having a massive poonami. I don’t know…
