Chicken pox

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.

Vitamin K jab

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?

Colic?

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?

This might be weird….

Is it normal for my EBF baby’s poop to smell like…. yogurt ? 😅 i’ve read different things online. Some say yes some say no. It’s been like this ever since he was born. But sometimes people are like “ Why does it smell like yogurt?” and it got me thinking… is that not normal? Lol.

Visitors

My baby is 1 month today and has only met her grandparents and noone else. When did you start introducing your baby to friends/family. Or did you wait until they had their vaccines? Just worried as I know they don't have much of an immine system or are they more robust than I think
