How many days is normal to don’t 💩?

I have an almost 6m baby, we started solids last week, anything big or BLW, so far just puree. But it’s being 2 weeks she’s 💩every 3 days, right now she’s going for the fourth day. I’m giving her water but I’m getting a kind of worry. Is it normal? It happens to someone?

Bath time

We've got a shnuggle bath, and my girl is constantly trying to stand up in it while pulling herself up on our actual bath side. Either that or she's holding onto the shnuggle bath on each side and pulling along the water back and forth. Is anyone else's baby like this 😂😂 or have I got a super active child haha.

Bath time

My daughter loves bath time, always has but recently she won't let her dad bathe her, brush her teeth or get her into her pjs (absolute no to any of her bedtime routine).

Do you bathe your baby when they have a cold ?

My baby has a slight cold that's not too bad but I'm scared to shower her and then it may get worse. This is the first time she has a proper cold

So what next?

So my LG has just been diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy I’m waiting on more information from the paediatrician, but what happens next? Also I’m not sure if this is a silly question but Is this something that is genetic? Is there chance of future babies having it? It’s been so tough to digest everything.
