Has anyone else’s littles done something that you DID NOT expect? The other week when getting my daughter (13 months) ready for bed, she pooped in her diaper right before bath time. No biggie, cleaned her up and brought her to the bathroom sans diaper. While waiting for the tub to fill, she evidently wasn’t finish...

Hi all, I’m a FTM to my little boy who’s 9 weeks. From 3 weeks he’s struggled with silent reflux and colic. He was put on gaviscon which seemed to help his symptoms but he gets really bad trapped wind and will cry from 4pm-8pm. He’s also recently developed eczema and he also used to arch his back after a feed and c...

how many times a day or how often does your baby go and how many months are they?

Those with Bubs with intolerances, what were the symptoms? My 6 week old goes in and out of struggling to pass wind and poo and when he does, the poo seems to have a fair bit of mucus/stringy-ness. GP has told me that mucus is normal due to his new digestive system although I find it strange that not every poo has t...

Has anyone experienced like a warm sensation down below, like the feeling you get when you wash down there with the tea tree original source shower gel (IYKYK). Sorry for the random and TMI question.. hope I’ve explained myself for someone to understand what I mean. I don’t remember getting this feeling when I had m...

What is your diet looks like ? Can you share some ideas? I can see my little boy struggling to pass the wind and kind of constipating...

My Little Man will be 8 weeks old on Sunday and my sister was due to spend the weekend with us to meet him for the first time. Due to various reasons, she hasn’t met him yet despite having been able to had she really wanted to. She contacted me to let me know that she had a sore throat and her partner had symptoms o...

My bowels have been opened for the last week, suffering with diarrhoea multiple times a day. And also lots of discharge & braxton hicks I’m 34 weeks pregnant. Is this normal?

My partner has drink problems and there was a situation last Friday where he left powder residue on the table and I rang the police. Social services are involved and rang me today saying a section 47 and will come round to meet me and my two boys (3 & 13 months) Anyone know what happens with the assessment etc

My LO is 8 weeks today (born at 37 weeks, c section) and the struggle is real. Im a first time mom. A single mom. Live alone. The pediatrician said he’s colic, gas is a nightmare for us, feeding can be challenging, and some times I think he may have GERD/silent reflux. The nipple size we’ve used for weeks is suddenl...

Thinking of sending this out to visitors once our LO arrives. Tbh it’s mostly my husband’s family I’m worried about 😅 Anything you would add? Feedback appreciated :) “Hello! We’re so excited for you to meet Mara 🫶🏻 Life is beautifully chaotic right now and we want everyone to be on the same page, so we have a…

I feel like my baby farts a lot.. doesn’t upset him. Just wondering if anyone else’s bf baby does also? We burp him after every feed but he’s still a toot machine.

My LO is 3 weeks. We started bathing him once the umbilical cord came off with warm water and cotton pads. When have you started introducing baby bath products?

Our GP has just moved to Anima and I've filled it out today due to a burn that's become infected. I clearly put on there that I'm housebound so require a telephone appointment because I can't attend a walk in clinic or my normal GP in person. They offered me a face to face appointment! I declined it because that wa...

At what age did you start using shampoo and conditioner, I got gifted some but not sure when to start using it when bathing (she does have a little bit of cradle cap so don't know if it could help)

For the last few weeks I have been letting my toddler use one of my mini bath bombs, just to add some fun to the bath and change the water colour. They are the size of a golfball. Their skin seems fine with no reaction or sensitivity, but my mum thinks it’s a bad idea. She also thinks they aren’t good for adults e...

Just received the questionare and i’m really worried! Mine can’t do anything on the communication part. Shes not babbling so doesn’t answer any of the questions. I’m worried shes really behind 😔

My baby girl is getting this vaccine today. Idk why but I’m so nervous about it. I know it’s a live vaccine and I’m scared of her feeling bad afterwards or tomorrow. Did your toddlers have any reactions to the vaccine?

Our shower isn't big enough to bring him in with me really, not without chaos. I've always relied on my husband being home when I shower but he won't be back til really late tonight and I need to go out today. Any advice on what to do to keep him entertained whilst I shower/not put things in the loo? 😂

Hello, my baby’s poop today had 3 black seeds in it. They look like sesame seeds. Is it blood or can it be pomegranate seeds that went through her digestive tract? Like do they turn black. I asked her doctor because she is doing the Canadian milk challenge but she’s on vacation and I think the receptionist texted he...
