I'm convinced this isn't normal? My 12 week old had her tongue tie cut 3 days ago, she's in absolute AGONY and has screamed alllll day today even with calpol?! They've cut her actual tongue not the skin underneath ?? I asked them 3 times after if they're sure it's done properly and he said yes.. this is a consultant..

I have my 6 week appointment with my ob this week and wondering if I’m supposed to bring my little guy with me? What did you guys do?

It started on Thursday and still going strong. It's literally water. Maybe 8-10 times a day so his bottom is also really sore bless him. His EBF and still having lots of feeds and is still weeing. He seems a bit grumpy and out of sorts but otherwise well! Am I ok to wait until Monday to contact the GP?

I bathe her every other day and do a flannel wash on the days where I don’t do a bath, but I’m thinking I’m just going to do every 3rd day as she’s not exactly dirty and still give her a wash every day just not a bath. She’s 12 weeks on Monday

When do you stop burping your baby? Mine has started to naturally burp by himself so I don't need to pat his back anymore although I still find myself doing it out of habit 😂

My baby girl is 4 weeks old; we were breast feeding but due to factors beyond our control she was swapped to Bonya by Kendamill two weeks ago. Unfortunately she is being sick after a couple of feeds each day (projectile, brings up whole feeds) she spends most of her evenings grunting and groaning, it’s worse when ...

My little girl has ALWAYS struggled with gas (bottom end) ever since newborn days. Never used to poo regularly, used to go maybe every 4 days as a small baby, although now she does go once daily. I swear her sleep would be better if it wasn't for her wind, when she wakes up it seems to always be due to needing to p...

As Yogi Berra, the famous baseball player and coach once said: “When you arrive at a fork in the road, take it.” What do you think this quote means? A. Petty theft is okay , sometimes. He meant 'take' the fork. B. 'take' a chance, and pick one road. Accept the consequences. C. 'take' a minute to think about --...

I’m breastfeeding my son throughout the day. He’s 4 months old. I’ve been feeding him every 3 hrs. Today he spit up so much milk. Almost seems like he spit all he drank. Am I over feeding? He’s also teething right now so it’s hard for me to understand the difference between teething and early hunger cues since his h...

Where do you all put your little one when you shower? We did a bigger bouncer seat until she just now completely crawled out of it… (luckily, I jumped out of the shower and caught her!) I don’t trust her in her crib yet because she crawls around and stand up constantly. What do you all do?

The doctor gave my baby this medicine, which is steroids because he has RSV for his congestion. I never known babies to take steroids, so can you please let me know if this is OK what do y’all think about it because I’m unsure.

So my babies umbilical cord has been off for a week or so now, but I am kinda terrified to bathe her.. the more I leave it the worse I feel, since I wouldn’t like to be left unbathed for that long, but it’s just such a nerve racking thing to do! I have heard newborns don’t need baths that often, but how long has peo...

Hi all! My 3 month old has colic and health visitor recommended colief. Been trying this for a few days but finding it hard to prepare whilst LO is crying for feed. Do you need to give dosage in EVERY feed or could I just give during the day? I’m a breastfeeding mama! Thanks so much for any advice/support!

Our baby is very large for her age. She'll be 5 months next week and so far we had a nuby tub but she's getting too long to properly fit in it. She used to love bath time, but now she starts crying every time and her legs keep slipping out. She can't sit by herself yet, so we still need a bathtub with a seat. I was ...

For the mamas who went through rsv with a child over 1, how did you stay positive and what was it like? I’ve read days 3-5 are the worst. I’m trying to stay positive 🙏 we’ve been giving him soft foods like apple sauce and he eats a few bites here and there and is drinking still.

my son was born with severe tongue tie 75%, and it affects his feeding he can't breastfeed can only drink from bottles, he has to get it snipped, i'm absolutely dreading this as they've already told me they don't put him to sleep or even numb it first. has anyone else had to get their babies tongue snipped? if so pl...

How long did it take for u to receive ur newborns social? Baby girl is 2 months and still haven’t received it and i remember with my last baby hes now 2, i got it pretty quick… should i call or just keep waiting?

Is it safe to take a bath in early pregnancy (5 weeks), I’m seeing mixed advice!

So my daughter just done a poo and I think she’s a bit constipated she was struggling to get the poo out, when I changed her nappy it was like a few rabbit dropping looking poo and one big hard ball Do you think I should be worrying or chances are it’s from that poo or I should be getting seen? I have tried to c...

My LG hates getting her hair washed and will scream and cry whenever we do it. She loves her bath and is used to water but as soon as we wash her hair all hell breaks loose! We use a little jug to pour the water, make sure it’s nice and warm, we tried the shower head too but that was worse! Does anyone have any tip...
