Bath time
How often are you bathing your babies. My baby is 10 weeks old and I bathe her daily. What are your routines. Should I be bathing her daily?
Year jabs
My son is due to have his year jabs. I am really dreading it. He is so aware and I know it’s going to break my heart seeing him in pain and I just can’t bear the thought of it. Anyone have any advice on what I can do to help distract him when he is getting it done or any advice to calm myself! Thank you
Hagemans factor
Found out I have Factor XII deficiency. I know it’s a 1 in a million disease but does anyone else know they have factor XII deficiency? I’m at a 1.8 🤣. I really want to talk about birth experiences now knowing that I am classified as high risk
Hairdressers!
Hairdressers in the city that also do kids haircuts? My little girl has super curly hair but it’s always getting in her eyes now 😭
Overfeeding? Is this is a symptom?
My little boy has suspected silent reflux which gets worse in the evening. He’s 5 weeks old on Friday. He constantly feeds from around 6pm to 12.30am and is extremely unsettled. Last night was the worst one yet, he was awake for 9 hours from 3.30pm to 12.30am. It’s almost like during this time he is using the milk ...
11m old constipated
My LG had been constipated since last night. She was up most of the night trying to push it out, and (tmi) whenever I checked her, I could see her poo trying to come out but she'll push and it's stuck. This morning has been the same. I'm going to go grab some pears now but what else can we do when this happens, espe...
Baby is being sick
Hiya, anybody got an experience with sicky baby please? Our little one (3weeks old) started being sick more often. Before it was more like a spit up (very small milky liquid coming from her mouth after feeding) but last night it was way more liquid and multiple times 😟 She vomited in her cot twice and once on me…
Pooping 3/4 times a day.
Hi guys, has anyone’s little one gone through the phase where they are suddenly pooping 3/4 times a day all of a sudden? My son has started doing that since Sunday. No change in diet as such and his poos are on softer side not runny or pale at all. Is this toddler diarrhoea or something normal and temporary? Don’t w...

Boys with long hair
I don’t know what to do, wherever I go even random people or family people keep commenting about my boys long hair saying he needs to have his hair cut and have a boys cut etc. trouble is he won’t have it cut, I’ve tried he hates anyone going near him, be honest, does it look bad?
2 year health check, do you know if both parents need to be there? Im fairly new at my work and they aren’t great with letting you take time for appointments etc. could just my partner take it or do you think mum needs to be there
Personally I want to be there but asking if anyone’s done it alone without their other half

Bath time Cries
FTM to a 17 month old so she cries during her bath time now, and she used to love bath time…my husband and I have tried to both take a bath with her and play with her(yes, I know, we gave in but she would scream like she fell her on face, or hurt herself and she can be heard from outside, so I don’t want anyone to t...
Baby bath tubs
Ladies, what bathtubs are you getting for your infant/baby? Need some recs. I ideally need one that grows with your baby from infant to toddler, has a built in thermometer. Bonus would be built in infant scales. Share your choices please 🙏
4 oz
My baby will drink 4.5 oz and still crying. Idk if it’s gas or she’s still hungry but I’m afraid to give more. She never spits up. She’s giving me hunger cues but is also squirmy so idk 😞
Spitting up!
Help! My almost three-month-old baby keeps spitting up after every feeding, and this didn't use to happen. He is also fighting sleep more than ever. He is breastfed, and I've noticed a change in the color of his poop. Has anyone else experienced this?
Baby is eating solids, how do I introduce water?
Okay so my baby's doing great eating solids but I have noticed he seems to be constipated and is straining, I've been giving him baby oatmeal as well as cream of wheat, I think he needs water obviously, what brand of water would you recommend? This is Rafael btw. 8mo on the 22nd! Yay!
