My 15 month old has always loved baths but this week she started refusing to even touch the water, she’ll curl up and cling to me. The water is not too hot or too cold. I’m the only one who has ever bathed her so I doubt it’s trauma. She was sick last week but would still bathe, this week she has an ear ache but I’m...

So I’m due in July and I’m debating whether to vaccinate my baby or not (leaning more towards no vaccinations), does anyone have any websites/research or personal experiences they can share

Help! 5 month old pooped and I went to change her and she had this really stretchy string maybe like mucus but poop color in her diaper?!

She is 1 month and since birth, she has always cried throughout bath time. I massage her after, feed her warm milk but she is wide awake. Bedtime is impossible with her. I dread bath time, I do it once every other day I am too exhausted to go through all of this every night. I have a 1 year old and 3 year old as w...

We gave our sweet girl her first at home bath yesterday and she HATED it. Any tips to make it a more enjoyable experience for her?

Has anybody got a gassy baby/constipated baby? Anything you have tried make a huge difference? Thank you in advance 🥰

My 5week old had been more fussy lately and I think it’s due to trapped gas and struggling to poop. He isn’t constipated though, he poops normal stools normal amounts a day he just has been straining and grunting/ crying more. He’s also been refusing to burp lately no matter what we do and i think that’s why he has ...

Hi! My 4month and 2 weeks old baby decided to go on a poop strike four days ago. She is exclusively breastfed, but today is the fifth day without a bowel movement, and I’m getting worried. She looks normal, happy, eating a lot as usual, and nothing seems to bother her. I’ve tried massages, warm baths, exercises, an...

My son is nearly 3 months old and he just had very clear liquid come from his mouth. Sometimes he gets the white sort of milky spit up, but this was more like clear liquid? Just wondering if anyone else has had experience of this? He did have a bottle about 30 minutes ago and then we laid him down for his nappy, so...

is anyone else really gassy? i’m 4 weeks & i can’t stop farting 🤣🤣🤣

My son is almost 7 months and I’ve delayed 90% of his vaccines. Now his pediatric office says he has to get them or he can’t be a patient. What did you guys do? What’s your advice?(without shaming me) I genuinely am at a crossroads. I do not trust our government or big pharma and I want to homeschool my son. But als...

We're heading away on holiday to Italy in a few weeks with our 19 month old. At the moment we do bath time every night as part of our bedtime routine but I don't think we'll have access to a bath in our accommodation. We have tried him in the shower before and he hated it. Any suggestions please?

My 12 week old has expressed breast milk and has always struggled with trapped wind and passing poop regardless of how much we wind him. Between weeks 7-11 he seemed to turn a corner and was pooping 2-3 times a day but as soon as 11 weeks hit he’s hardly going once a day again and can be in so much pain to the poin...

Is it okay to go for a bath when baby is asleep in their crib? She’s 10 weeks and I’ll have the video monitor in the bathroom with me.

Please help me which prenatal gummies can I take without having to gag or wanna throw up. I can’t do pills either bc I just will gag and wanna throw it up and can’t swallow pills as much and pregnant makes it worse and harder for me to be able to swallow that 😭.

Seeing a lot of posts about the 9-12 month checks and questionnaires, I haven't heard from our health visitor yet do I need to contact them?

My 4 week old is struggling in pain when feeding it’s like she wants the milk but is fussing, kicking and moaning, and when winding she really is creating. We do pace feeding, sitting up for at least 20-30 mins after feeding and feeding upright. She is still gaining weight, eating well, sleeping well but has so many...

What are you doing/planning to do after your baby has out grown a moses basket? I have a moses basket in the living room that I pop my little girl in when I need to leave her for very short periods but not sure what to do now she's outgrown it. Thanks!

My little girl is a month old and she's always trumping and pulling her knees up sounding like shes in pain crying. I keep her upright for awhile but it always seems like she has trapped wind even after she burps and she constantly has hiccups and spits up after a feed. I've tried giving her infacol but because she'...

Anyone know of any good play areas or play cafè’s on Saturdays for under 1? Ideally not soft play as LO cannot walk / crawl yet!
