Hate baths!

My 6 month old has been fussy hating her bath for like a month now I can tried everything. Toys, cooler water, warmer water, different bathtubs, bubbles, no bubbles. This kid just hates baths when she absolutely use to love them. Anyone else? I’ve even tried earlier in the day when she’s more awake.

Visitors

At what point are you allowing visitors outside of immediate family to meet your baby? I wanted to wait until first round of vaccines at two months but my husband wants much sooner.

Bath time

My baby is 10 weeks old. The way I have always bathed him is as recommended for newborns - washed his hair over the bath whilst he’s wrapped in a towel. Then dried it and then put him in the bath. Do I still need to do this at this age?

Bath time

How often is your little one having a bath? I’m bathing my little girl every two/three days unless she gets more dirty than usual but my older sister said I should be bathing her daily.

Does this sound like witching hour or something else?

My baby is ebf and the feeds in the late afternoon and into the night he will pull off the boob and hysterical scream and cry, go back on and repeat. I do burp him but he rarely burps and is usually so settled after a feed! He doesn’t do it in the day? I’m so confused and fed up of it tbh 😥

Loose poop - 8 week old

Hello! My 8 weeks old has been more gassy than usual (very stinky farts) and is doing loose poops like this one. They are like a soft paste. He did 2 dirty nappies like this one today. Is this normal? I know that their digestive system is quite sensitive as it’s developing around this time but wanted to check.

Poop!!!

My daughter (1 y/o) keeps having these weird poops, almost like sand. I can’t wipe it off easily and most of the time have to put her in the bath. Why is she pooping like this? Could it be an allergy? She’s fully weaned but has chronic constipation. Pic in comments!!!
