Hi all! My baby has recently had a change in bowel habits. She is only pooping like every other day or every two days. I read this is normal. The issue is now she seems like she is really gassy and it causes her pain. Her farts smell terrible! Do you think it could be something I’m eating?? Poop looks to be normal ...

My little boy had his first set of jabs at half 11 this morning, is it normal for them to sleep loads after , he’s only woken up for bottles then fallen straight back to sleep

My daughter screams the whole bath for the past few months now when she was younger she enjoyed baths but for the past 4 months or so it’s been hell😭😭 even during the getting her ready for bed and moisturizing part im fighting her🙂

This is the second time my baby girl has gone a week without having a poo. She pooed for a few days when she was born then went a week with no poos but would have wet nappies and didn’t seem in any discomfort then she did poos for 5 days and then hasn’t for a 7-8 days again. Anyone else’s breastfed baby been like t...

Has anyone used a tens machine previously in labour? Did it help at all? My friend has offered that I can borrow hers but I have no idea if it will help or actually do anything? I’ve never used one before

From the beginning I’m bathing/showering with my baby. Now he is 3 and I still do. When I put on my underwear to bath with him recently, he said “take it off mama. Why you’re with them”. He doesn’t act surprised or acting weird to see my bottom parts. For him this is all normal. So that’s why when we went to meet hi...

I have a 6 month. We started weaning 2 weeks ago. Mostly purée but some finger food of fruit like a strawberry or banana. I have been giving this once a day. Some days she has nothing other days she's eaten everything. I have noticed her poo is much more thicker like a paste as before she's was a EBF baby so it was...

My little girl was sat on the potty for nearly 3 hours last night trying to go. She was in a lot of pain and eventually gave up then sat there with her stool poking out and falling asleep. We put her in the bath and all was resolved. Any tips on how I can stop things like this from happening in the future? I know ...

Hi, my baby is 7 weeks and he is soo constipated like his poos are small but like adult like poos!! He is still weeing like normal but his poos are small and not very frequent he seems like he’s in loads of pain and I really don’t know what to do 😭😭

I exclusively breastfeed and was always told baby's poop should smell sweet and somewhat okay before solids. No. My LO's poos smell HORRIFIC. Is it just me?

My son is 5 months old and in size 4 nappies but every poo seems to explode every time, is it time to size up again?

My little girl had her 1 year old jab.. Is this normal?

Hi all. My toddler has been with my niece all week whilst I’ve been working and my niece has come up today in chicken pox. I’m not so worried about my toddler getting it as she hasn’t had it before and I’d rather get it out the way however I’m obviously almost 19 weeks pregnant so now I’m worrying if she does get it...

So my little boy had his jabs yesterday, he’s really unsettled and spiked a temp in the night, so he’s had his 3 doses of calpol as jabs wasn’t while late yesterday 🥺 what do i do today if he spikes a temp again? ( forgot it all from my daughter 5 years ago) x

Can anyone recommend pro biotic /gut repairing I can give my little boy? He's had a couple of courses of antibiotics that I think has ruined his gut and he's never once had solid poos (waiting on appt for it). In meantime I wanted to see what could give in milk/water to help? I already give multi vitamin daily, vi...

When my LO was born, he got the vitamin K jab. Since then, he’s got this reddish purpleish mark when he had the jab. Has anyone’s little one had the same? If so, does it go away or does it stay?

Is anyone’s baby on Bobbie formula? My baby’s poop is super green (I know because of the iron) but how long is it supposed to be green? Does it last awhile?

Out of curiosity which bathroom do fathers take their young daughter in

My newborn makes a clicking noise during her feeds. Does this mean she has a tongue tie? X

Heyyy, my baby girl is 3 weeks and has been crying inconsolably in the evenings for the past few days! We think it’s gas and sometimes the bicycle legs etc help, but not always. I’m wondering if it’s ‘colic’ and if so has anyone found any natural remedies? Or is infacol / gripe water okay to use?
