How often do you bath baby ? My baby is 6 weeks old and we started bathing her once a week after the hard water was affecting her skin. But my mam believes I should be bathing her daily. I just don’t want her skin going so dry again

Hi mom's...my 5 yr daughter suffers from chronic constipation...she is on laxatives and as soon as I stop them ...she gets constipated again...I'm so stuck and tired of giving medicine on a daily basis....is anyone else on the same boat...just venting out my feeling!!!

We switched my little girl to formula 4 weeks ago as exclusively pumping was exhausting. Since then, she's been fine and done 1-2 poops per day. She started with diarrhea yesterday evening. And by 6pm today we were on 12 poops since midnight. She is pooping during every feed, so I change her, she has reflux so layin...

The last 2 times I’ve fed my 3 month old she has violently thrown everything up. Other than being sick she doesn’t seem unwell, grumpy or out of character. She’s just not keeping her milk down. She’s now gone to sleep but I’m debating whether to feed her when she wakes as I’ve already bathed her twice today! Haha. I...

My LB is 6 months and hasn’t poo’d since Tuesday morning. He normally goes at least twice a day and they’re normally big poos. He seemed like he was doing a big one earlier but it was a tiny little pebble that was rock hard. I’ve given him some water and some pureed prune. Done tummy massages and bicycle legs and h...

My baby is constipated and straining pretty hard, now hes bleeding from his bum. We’re taking him in but what can I do?

My LG is 18 weeks old and started colic drops Monday due to her struggling to bring up wind (always struggled) gets so much trapped air.. since starting it’s like the milk goes straight through her? Keeps thrusting when in her chair too and not slept since at night constantly wriggling etc like she’s in discomfort?

is my baby’s umbilical infected? Yellow gunk was coming out of the sides and she’s been crying more than usual

I am curious how often everyone is giving their baby a bath? I’ve had mixed answers from doctors.

Hi, ive just ordered mounjaro ( for the first time ) I've sent them photos of my self to approve. has anyone done this and knows how long it takes?

Sorry it’s a bit of a sensitive topic however due to culture, religion and personal preference we want to get baby boy circumcised when he is still young (culturally I believe it’s done in the first week so the nerves haven’t fully developed yet) but I know it’s not available in the NHS. anyone in Medway done this w...

My baby hasn’t pooped for 5 days. Has this happened to anyone else’s little one? Any suggestions?

Random question but my LG’s first set of injections, an appointment was made for us to have them done - but I haven’t heard anything about the next set. I’m based in Kent, and just wondered if anyone had to make an appt themselves for the second round? Sorry it’s a bit of a boring question, but just not sure wheth...

She’s refluxy too so she spits up and then shoves her hands in her gob. And drools everywhere. She’s sat here laughing at my misfortune😂😩

Advice needed! My 3 month old has suddenly started crying during his feeds. I’ve tried burping, changing and he’s been on Infacol for nearly two months which has been amazing! Is it time I upped the teat size?

I had to take naproxen today just to function. I'd love to hear all your chronic pain management self care things please. Low cost would be great. I'm m so scared how I'm gonna raise my toddler for the next twenty yrs

My baby has not pooped for the past two days and nothing yet today either. She is 1 month old, is it concerning enough to call the doctor?

My 5 week old is a fart machine and my gosh they stink. The GP has reassured me it’s ok but curious to hear if anyone else’s baby is a fart machine. She literally wakes herself with the sound and smell 😂

My nearly 3 week old is constantly crying after a feed with gas pain. I’ve used infacol for a week now, burp her after every ounce and sit her upright for 20/30 mins after every feed but still she’s suffering with gas pain, she will wake up from her naps crying from pain and I’ve been trying a dummy for 3 weeks now ...

My health visitor is a bit late and I have my first meeting with her on Tuesday. What type of things do they ask/ do? She said it could last an hour depending on how chatty we are. I’ll be 38 + 4 and I do not have the energy 😅
