Toddler sunglasses

Can anyone recommend some that fit a little toddler head and stay on please? 🤣 my daughter has some standard kids ones from M&S but they slip off so going anywhere when she’s wearing them takes a thousand stops of her fussing to put them back on 😆

Visiting family in hospital

My MIL in critically ill in hospital (in a coma) there are signs soon that she could be waking up out of it. The road to recovery could be a long while, but I don't feel comfortable taking my daughter (3) to visit once she is in a ward.

Baby - Colic/Gas

Hello! My 2mo baby is super colicky and gassy. I've tried gripe water, holding her 15-20 minutes after eating, belly rubs and tummy massages. It seems like if she's awake she's crying and it's getting hard to handle. Any other tips?? I have heard I should cut out dairy as I exclusively breastfeed. Mammas who've done...

Bath after 6-8 week jabs?

My son had his jabs done yesterday and we were told to give Calpol as one of the vaccines would all but certainly give him a fever anyway. We gave two doses so far and he is due a bath tomorrow. What if he is still groggy by then ? When should a bath not be given

He is straining and arching his back quite often passing gas, but no poop. He’s very fussy. I gave him prune juice diluted with water yesterday. Not sure what else to do, at what point do...

Kick off after bath

Does anyone else's baby have an absolute meltdown after bathtime when trying to put vest and pyjamas on? It's like we're trying to bathe him in acid! It's really stressful. Playing dancing fruits or having his piano playing next to him helps a bit but I honestly don't get why he hates being dressed so much!
