Hey, Any suggestions on where to get my 2 year olds hair cut? He used to go to his and kids but they’ve closed down. Ideally he needs to be strapped in as he won’t sit still

Hi - are health visitors allocated to us? I have been tried to contact my HV for a while now but always get told that she will call me back as she is out on a visit but never calls back. Now I wonder if a HV is allocated to us or not? I have been more supported by this group tbh! Thanks a ftm. X

And was it because of tiny grabby baby hands or just because you wanted shorter hair?

Is anyone else struggling with reflux & constipation. My LO is 10 weeks old and we have dealt with this since he was 2 weeks old. He’s currently back on normal Aptamil formula, previously on Aptamil Reflux (this suited his reflux but made him SUPER constipated) he has 5-6oz with two sachets on Gaviscon and Movicol ...

He broke my glasses and my phone cover today. Send help or reminder not to go crazy

My son is very fair skinned, so I’m serious about putting sunscreen on him. Of course he hates it. But I hate when it gets in his hair and makes his hair look greasy. Any tips for applying to avoid the hair or a good brand you’ve found for the face? Thanks!

Hi mummas! I’ve recently had a newborn who is 4 weeks today. I’m struggling to understand what my baby needs are, as to why I can’t get him to sleep. He wakes up every 2-3hrs for a feed. He burps, passes wind, does a poo and yet to put him back down is a challenge, even though he looks like he is asleep he cries hy...

I just don't know what's going on and am losing way too much sleep over this... everything and everyone tells you that an EBF baby up to around 6weeks should poop at least twice a day. If they don't it's a "red flag" for insufficient milk transfer. But what if they're only pooping every few days yet they still have ...

I wonder whether anyone already introduced a small chair and a table to their babies? We used one the other day, and I was surprised how well he sits there. Was thinking it could be a great update to his play zone, as he doesn’t use his playmat or playing laying down much anymore

My little boy is 6 weeks tomorrow and the last few weeks he’s had streaks of dark red blood in his poo. When I went to the doctors they weren’t concerned and just said that as long as the poo isn’t just blood and bright red then it’s okay. I’m just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and how long did it la...

Absolutely crazy situation but I’m due on 1st May and today my handyman choked on food at my house and I had to give him the Heimlich manoeuvre! In the moment I was filled with adrenaline and didn’t think about my bump but now the foods out and he’s ok I’m worried if I could have done damage to anything? Would y...

Has anyone had their LO evaluated. I was advised to get it done and now I’m nervous. His 18 month appointment was pushed back to 19 months because the dr was sick

My little boy should’ve had has 2 year review with the health visitor today but no one turned up! 🤬 As we have no concerns over his development (nor do nursery) I’ve said to the health visiting team not to rearrange the appointment because of this. Has anyone else opted out of an appointment? I know you can but I…

Baby is 12 weeks. I combination feed him. This morning I breastfed him then gave a top up of formula feed (100 ml), after some time he vomited it and took some of milk out through his nose also. What to do? Also does anyone use gripe water?

Sorry if TMI but my LG is on comfort milk soooo poop is green anyway, on a few occasions now she has also pooped mucous/ jelly like which is a yellowy colour (original poop colour prior to comfort milk) would you say this is normal?

How long did you ladies take to do a poo after birth? I had

Guys when does the diarrhoea stop from the 12 week jabs, I’ve been having to change her poor bum every two hours and she’s got such nappy rash from me constantly wiping her bum and putting cream on. I can tell it’s flushing out but when does it end 😂

I feel guilty because im not doing much with one month old she has bad reflux and colic so screams most of the time. I’m at wits end and feel guilty but I try put her in bouncer she screams.. only looks at toys and books for a few mins then screams. Is it too late ? Just worried how this will affect her development....

Anyone else still waiting to hear about an appointment? My son will be 27 months middle of may and we still haven't heard anything regarding his review.

Hey ladies🙋🏻‍♀️ My 2 week old feels as though she’s in a lot of discomfort I don’t know what it is she seems to have trapped wind and struggled to poop I gave her some Infacol earlier today she has pooped and it’s normal She did cry a lot during this stage almost like she was in pain It was so sad to see She’s…
