Anyone who is rhesus negative and baby is positive - do you need to get checked if you bang your stomach or only if you bleed? My 3 year old jumped down and managed to knee me in the stomach and unsure if i need to go for the injection

Just had a message to say I will have a health visitor visit at home in a few weeks before baby is born. Is this normal?

Hi everyone, I know this may come across a little OTT, but I’m making a small basic list of rules for visitors when little one arrives and just wondered if anyone else is, and if so, what’s on their list? Both mine and my partners family are amazing, but I just want to set them boundaries now. So far I have thing...

Hi, looking for some advice. My 3 MO seems to have become constipated out of the blue. No changes to formula etc, we have increased his omeprazole so not sure if that’s doing it but it’s hard / pebble like so definitely constipated! Is there anything you can do to soften stools at this age? Thanks

Is anyone going through something similar, the last few weeks my Lo has been taking bites of food and either spitting it out straight away or chewing it for abit and then spitting it out. She does go back for more and does finally eat some so she does like the foods.. is this just a phase?!

Is anyone not vaccinating? If so, have you or will you still fly with baby? We started with delayed, but I’m not sure I want to continue. I’ve been very uneasy about it but we have many trips coming up and I’m nervous about LO being on a plane. This is very new to me. Everyone I know is fully vaccinated so it’s a ...

My boy was on his tummy and burped, this spit up came up with a yellow streak which I have not seen before. Called GP but they can’t see us or do anything until tomorrow… Anyone had this before? I will call 111 just in case I think.

When did y’all start doing your newborns hair? Baby girl has her 1 month photos today and I want to do a simple hairstyle but I’m not sure if it’s too soon.

Thinking we need to expand our collection as we currently only have a small basket of soft toys and rattle toys he’s had since newborn.

Received my child benefit yesterday it says on my bank statement £105 but only received £25.60 , don't they usually back date it ? It looks like my bank have taken the rest even though my last transactions are clear

How often are you bathing your LO’s? I have a toddler as well so have found myself bathing them every night purely because it’s the only time of the day they are both happy at the same time 🤣 but I’m worried on what this will do to their skin! Does anyone else bath theirs every night?

I have a babygirl who’ll be 6 weeks Friday . She’s has been more fussy these past 2 days & is barely wanting to eat as much as she typically does . Could this be a potential growth spurt, anyone else’s baby experiencing this as well around the same age? She doesn’t have a fever btw, doesn’t seem sick at all so that’...

has the amount of times your baby goes slowed down? mine has been doing about once every two days lately. kind of worries me but he has no constipation signs so I assume it’s normal. Is it? the other day he went 2x in one day and it made me so happy. Never thought I’d be so excited over poo before in my entire l...

My son used to love taking baths, but suddenly he hates them. He’s 16 months old now. Is this a normal phase, or should I get new bath toys to make bath time more exciting? We usually stick to a bath schedule every 2–3 days. Should I change that to every day, or should I leave it as it is? I need help; I can't handl...

SAHM here 🙂 I want to invest in a large play pen with soft mat bottom. Any brand suggestions?

So my baby boy is finding it hard to poop and is conjested any tips How long does laxatives ( doctors gave up ) take to work only started yesterday

My LO is 3 months 2 weeks and the past 2 days he keeps having a meltdown around 30ml into his milk from bottle. He is combination fed, and we stayed away from home Saturday so he was on me a little less. He has gone to the toilet fine so he isn't constipated. Managing to pass gas and burp. He is using a teether t...
