LO has been pooing a lot more than usual in the last week, going from one morning big poo a day to several, including overnight again (!! Not fun). He is otherwise well and his poos look typical. Spoke to a nurse and they weren’t too worried. We started solids, just banana and avocado, a couple of weeks ago, and he ...

Our LO is 22 days and I’m pretty sure he has colic. it just started maybe a few days ago does anyone have any advice on how to sooth a baby?

My son (3 weeks 1 day) is really struggling with trapped gas even though I use Infacol before every feed and attempt to burp him afterwards (not always successful). He also experiences random sessions of hiccups and he has always had this when I was carrying him. He farts a lot but when he can't shift the gas, he i...

How often tall bathing your babies? Mine is almost 12 weeks and I’m only bathing him like once a week. He is my second and my daughter gets a bath every night, I can’t remember when we started that however. Just much harder with two! Am thinking maybe he needs to be bathed more often!

My LO is struggling bad with straining when going and it’s loads of tiny poos multiple times a day which is making her so sore. She drinks loads and I’ve tried prunes etc. Wondering if it’s the cows milk and has anyone else had this? Won’t take anything prescribed 🫠

I've realised I've booked it in for a date where I've got a first client meeting for work the next day 🙈

How do i shave my legs in the third trimester??? 😭 I can’t bend the way I need to, to shave and just wondering if anybody has any tips?

Hello! Anyone had their child’s tongue tie cut privately? My child is 10 weeks old, always struggled to latch because of it but midwives and dr said they won’t cut it because she’s putting on weight, but feeding time is a battle of latch on and off, we breast feed and we’re feeding constantly and it’s getting me ser...

How often are you bathing your baby? We are bathing our 4m every 2/3 day do you think that is right. Other day someone was horrified we don't do it every night.

My 5.5mo is doing lots of runny poo around 6 a day , Yellow or greenish yellow in colour. I read online if baby has no fever and is active there shouldn’t be concern. However I am very upset as he was a one poop or two poop a day boy and potty use to be soft and yellow. I did contacted gp and they prescribed some p...

My son has his 12 week jabs later and I am absolutely dreading them as I've heard they are worse than the 8 week ones. Is this true?

Hey, I’m 24 weeks and have been getting hip pain - especially at night. It’s waking me up as I have to constantly swap sides, and I’m guessing it’s only going to get worse as I get bigger. So far I’ve bought a mattress topper, the bbhugme pillow, and the babymoov sleep belt, but none of these things really work for ...

Might seem a daft question but going to register my baby today at derby, does baby need to be present at the appointment 🙈🤣 I’ve seen other district councils online say that don’t have to come but can’t see that on Derby city website

May be a silly question but I've let them know the last 2 days we weren't coming in, not sending her in today either, so do I still need to let them know or do you think they'd just get the gist??

Can anyone recommend a playmat good quality something similar to totter and tumble but without the huge price tag x

does every ob office do the non stress test? i’m starting to feel like my office is a little TOO hands off. they don’t do any type of growth scans or anything like that which makes more sense to me being low risk especially but im approaching 38w and they haven’t felt or checked for the position of my baby at all an...
