My baby is 20 weeks old, and we have been using this bath since he was born but he’s outgrowing it now! We do have a bath, but the water in our house is awful, so the water runs hot for about 1 minute then it’s cold so I can’t run a bath in it for him as it’s always freezing! (Something I need to speak with the land...

Hello my step daughter dose gymnastics on a Saturday I've received an email saying there's a case of chickenpox going round I'm still very early on in my journey but I know that chicken pox isn't good for you when your pregnant we have both already had it but am I still able to go ?

Had CMPA last Wednesday because her stools were mucusy and had blood in them and had been unsettled since birth. Since being on aptimal pepti 1 she’s now’s sick after every feed and after 2 ozs starts gagging so is wanting a bottle every 2 hours. I went to the GP who sent me back to the hospital for monitoring as...

She grunts and strains a lot only for a little poop to come out. She poops once every 2 days. Is there any way I can help her?

HELP. 😩 All he does is scream bloody murder. Anyone else dealing with this?

Is this fairly common? There have been multiple wet ones but only this one dirty one about 18 hours ago. What should I do?

Any one got any tips on how to help with babies constipation? My LG is 10 days old and hasn’t pooed since Tuesday. I am seeing the midwife today but didn’t know if anyone experienced similar/have any advice. Thanks

I have a issue so the gp is telling me that is safe changing my 3 month old baby's formula for the 5th time and the health visitor is saying not to now who do i listen to who should i trust?

I’m interested to hear people’s views. We’ve had a no kissing the baby rule (LB now 4 months). We discussed this morning and my husband thinks that as our LBs nanna (my mum) and auntie (his sister) get cold sores (my mother probably gets one every couple of years) they should never be allowed to kiss him. -ever…what...

My 8 month old choked this morning, lasted around 30-40 seconds I had to do back blows I'm traumatised by it and still can't stop crying and it's been 40 minutes since it happened. Do you see a doctor after doing back blows? I'm worried I've hurt her, she seems okay in herself but I'm still worried. Thanks

Did anyone get thrush when pregnant and did you just treat it over the counter or did you go to see your doctor/ midwife? X

He’s always been obsessed with his water bottle, he just wanders around holding it, playing with his toys whilst holding it🤣

I have an appointment with an osteopath booked in next week as my baby had a really traumatic failed forcep birth resulting in an emergency c section. He had huge amounts of trauma on his body, he is now showing signs of reflux symptoms and struggling to do a full feed on the boob. He struggled with lots of trapped ...

Next week we have the 8 week vaccination, what your baby reaction was, what to expect?

I'm due on Sunday, and I have been in the bathroom repeatedly, pushing. I feel like my baby could come out any minute now, and I'm not sure if this feeling is normal. Is it?

Has anyone else’s littles done something that you DID NOT expect? The other week when getting my daughter (13 months) ready for bed, she pooped in her diaper right before bath time. No biggie, cleaned her up and brought her to the bathroom sans diaper. While waiting for the tub to fill, she evidently wasn’t finish...

Hi all, I’m a FTM to my little boy who’s 9 weeks. From 3 weeks he’s struggled with silent reflux and colic. He was put on gaviscon which seemed to help his symptoms but he gets really bad trapped wind and will cry from 4pm-8pm. He’s also recently developed eczema and he also used to arch his back after a feed and c...

how many times a day or how often does your baby go and how many months are they?

Those with Bubs with intolerances, what were the symptoms? My 6 week old goes in and out of struggling to pass wind and poo and when he does, the poo seems to have a fair bit of mucus/stringy-ness. GP has told me that mucus is normal due to his new digestive system although I find it strange that not every poo has t...

Has anyone experienced like a warm sensation down below, like the feeling you get when you wash down there with the tea tree original source shower gel (IYKYK). Sorry for the random and TMI question.. hope I’ve explained myself for someone to understand what I mean. I don’t remember getting this feeling when I had m...
