Tongue tie related?

Hi mamas! My 2month old makes a clicking noise while breastfeeding. At first, I thought nothing of it because it doesn’t hurt when she latches and she’s gaining weight just fine. It doesn’t seem to bother her but is that sound concerning? She does have a tongue tie so not sure if it’s linked to that but so did our f...

My baby is 17 weeks old, and for the past couple days she has about 30-60 ml (1-2 oz) and then starts crying anytime the bottle comes near her mouth, pulling away, arching her back to get away! Shes only drunk 350 ml today (about 12 oz all day!) and it’s worrying me! Is it distractions? She doesn’t seem bloated and ...

How do you rinse your baby after a bath?

May seem like a silly question but how is everyone rinsing their baby after a bath with fresh water? Since birth I kept a jug of warm water on the side, I’d hold her and my husband would pour the water over her. Well she’s getting bigger (4months) and I tried to do the bath on my own ( I can’t wait on my husband ea...

My girl hadnt pooped in almost 2 weeks which is extremely irregular for her. She is a breastfed baby but does take solids. She kept straining and trying hard and making herself cry and seemed so uncomfortable and in pain. We tried prunes, she had maybe one a day for 3 days and then we laid off them. By day 4 she ha...

On Saturday we had a loose poop, just colour in her nappy but she had chips and chicken nuggets from the kabab Shop and some of Daddy's noodles in the day so I put it down ...
