Happened once last night that my 11 day old vomited. Even out of her nose. Today on the couch she’s again vomited with force twice all the milk in her belly. Not feeling like it warrants a doctors call yet but don’t know if it’s normal either. Anyone else’s baby doing similar

Can we talk about mom guilt when your little one has there first injections 🥲🥲??! Horrible

How was everyone’s baby after their second lot of jabs?

My 4 week old was on aldi Mamia formula but I suspect she has reflux so I have done a gradual change to Kendamil and she is still being sick, possibly even worse. How long should I give it? Could it settle after a couple of weeks? Has anyone experienced this? Also feel like she sicks up so often that she’s forever w...

Baby is on 3rd percentile for weight, we have both a 6 week health visitor appointment and 6 week GP check up next week. Anyone had experience of what happens in this situation? Will they want to intervene based on baby’s weight? We are exclusively breastfeeding. Will they make me start formula feeding?

Hi guys, I’m a second time mum and second time breastfeeding. I know all babies are different, but my second little one can go 4 days without a poo, and then has like 3 poos in one day! Has anyone else experienced this? My little girl - my first born sometimes went a day or 2, but my little boy is completely differe...

My 5 week old shows hungry cues, will then feed for a couple of minutes before screaming. She will either then seem like she's trying to re latch but just headbutt me or cry whilst feeding. The result is always that she stops feeding when she doesn't seem full. I take regular burp breaks and she burps every time. So...

So when he was a new born he’d scream hours on end turned out he was allergic to the formula and milk. So we eventually got that sorted. He then was on diary foods and fine but had was funny with milk. Now every month maybe once he’ll wake up, cry a little I’ll go in and he won’t go back down and I leave the room he...

Hey, I saw a pediatrician for the first time and he kissed my baby right on the face. I was shocked. I don’t even let my best friend kiss my baby on the face because of how dangerous it is for them to get sick when they are so tiny. What would you do? Am I being overly cautious? Also, he said something that kind of ...

My baby is 9 weeks old and used to poo every 2-4 days and now it seems to be after every feed!!! We have recently changed formula to Hipp organic. Is this normal?

So baby has had vomitting since a few weeks old, mentioned to Gp who didn't wanna look into it at the time as baby was also on antibiotics and said that can cause vomitting. Vomitting has continued baby is now 5.5 months, health visitors have said no issues with weight so it's ok. However I now feel I'm at my wits e...

My 8 week old has been so fussy on the bottle the last couple of days. He keeps pushing it away and not drinking as much. I don’t know if it’s reflux or he needs to go up a teet size. He has always been a bit of a difficult baby to feed since birth. He’s not particularly crying but just seems uncomfortable. He has...

Do they actually help? Medications make me feel really sick and I’ve had a bad experience with gas and air and it’s makes me feel sea sick. I also don’t want the injection. So my only options left are epidural or tens

My 16 day old LG is struggling at night with passing farts/poop. The last few nights she has been writhing around kicking and fussing so much and I am not sure what to do to help her more than I am - any tips appreciated!! She is exclusively breastfed (I think i have a fast flow so try to take her off and burp her...

What’s your protocol on visitors? Who are you allowing for visits and when? For context my in laws live out of town and have come to stay with us but now my sis in law also wants to come stay with us. Baby is due any day now..

My baby boy is 6 months old and has only popped twice since April started. Baths did nothing, got cleared to try some juice, nothing. Just sharts. Tried walks while baby wearing, nothing, not even gas. Tried working with him with things like bicycle kicks and belly rubs, again, nothing. Any advice?? I am trying rea...

My baby is almost 3 months and hasn’t pooped on his own since his first 2 weeks. I took him to a gastro doctor. Keeps telling me nothing wrong, he’s healthy even recommended I give him a bit of oatmeal to keep him full longer….??? I kept complaining to pediatrician and they recommended prune juice and water (my baby...

How to tell the difference between a baby with reflux versus once in a while regurgitation? My baby is 5 weeks and a couple times a week will forcefully projectile spit up what appears to be the whole feed/several ounces. Occasionally he’s done it twice in one day, and other times go several days with no spit up a...

Hi 👋🏽 my little boy is 4 months and has been on aptamil pepti 1 for the last 4 weeks. He seems to be MUCH better than before (he used to be rigid with pain during feeds and really unsettled in himself) I am thinking of starting weaning at 5 months but worried his diet will need to be altered now. Does this mean he…

Debating whether or not I should purchase an anti-choking device for my baby… been getting so many ads for LifeVac and similar products. There’s not a lot of research/testing on this product but maybe just to have it for peace of mind? Or should I just take CPR classes and hope and pray that’s enough? Almost all my ...
