What is everyone using once their LO’s grow out of their first bath tub? My LO already feels like he’s growing out of the shnuggle

hi mamas! my son is 7 months and he’s currently using the same tub as when he was a newborn. he has grown out of it and he has learned to pull on the sides to stand himself up and it seems impossible to bath him and try to keep him from slipping. i bought a bath seat that suctions on the side of the tub as well but ...

Wondering if this is normal and whether I should feel bad for not changing the water? I wash his face and hair first really quickly before he starts but he will, without fail, pee every time. The bath we have is quite heavy and is not practical for me to change the water during the bath without removing him and maki...

We haven’t bathed little girl yet mainly because we’re not sure when to start. We make sure she’s clean with wipes and some water on cotton balls every so often Umbilical cord has already gone

We’ve had some random constipation in the last few days and I have no idea why! We haven’t started weaning as he isn’t ready yet, nothing had changed in milk amount and he is fine on himself. Anyone been the same? I was changing him yesterday and he was straining so hard, a firm-ish lump came out and then loads of...

My little girl is coming up for 3 weeks old and the past few days she’s sicked up a lot after a feed - it’s only once a day and usually the same time of day that she does it, but she brings up quite a lot. Doesn’t seem uncomfortable or fussy but I never had any sickness at all really with my first so no idea if this...

I’m 34 week pregnant. Just been to the toilet to finally pass my bowels and it was pure green. Has anyone else had this?

I’ve changed the formula to my LO from Aptamil to Aptamil Comfort due to colics, which I’ve noticed some improovements, don’t know if it’s because of the formula, or the bottles or anything else, and she has now different poop colour. If before was more like mustard-like and very loose now it was more greenish and n...

Is it normal for them to throw up clear fluid she’s been on this since Wednesday and last two days she’s throwing up clear fluid it’s more than a bit of spit up too 🤦🏽‍♀️

I’ve been exclusively breastfeeding my 2 week old baby and she’s had me up all night recently trying to poo. I’m sure that’s what it is as she gets so much relief when she finally poos. I was told that breastfed babies are rarely constipated so what am I doing wrong?! She’s so uncomfortable and she’s in so much pain...

Hi my little boy is 3 days old, we’re formula feeding using cow and gate and he’s just done a poo which doesn’t look right to me? Does anyone know what the lumps are?

I was giving my daughter a bath, she was sitting in the tub in another tub with water. Water comes up to her tummy. I was talking to my husband standing next to me and she lost her balance and went to the side and into the water. I got her in 2 seconds but the fact she even fell on my watch.

Is this normal in breastfed baby he’s 7 days old and he’s already passed mec and went to seedy yellow and noticed this today, some green

Does anyone also feel worried about newborn vaccines and has decided not to give them?

I see my toddler say his tummy is hurting almost every day and he presses his mid to upper belly area, and he soon does a poo and doesn’t mention it again. In the last 3 weeks his pops have been looser and more frequent. Nothing has changed with diet or otherwise but this is also when he started saying his tummy is ...

Hi everyone, my son is 2 weeks old and is suffering with constipation. It’s really making him unsettled. We can see he’s trying to poop but no luck. Anyone have any advice on what we can do to help him? We’ve tried tummy massages and the bicycle method but no luck 🥺🥺🥺

Hey, looking for advice please, my little one is 10 weeks tomorrow, for the last few weeks she’s only been having a poo once every other day occasionally one a day , now all of a sudden she is having 4-5 a day… is this normal? Could it be down to her 8 week jabs 2 weeks ago? Thanks very much

I’ve been dairy free for almost two months now. And have noticed a huge difference for my little boy. Anyhow for a split second today I forgot that I can’t be the human hoover that eats leftovers and has a bite of Greggs margarita pizza. I’m hoping it doesn’t flare my baby or irritate his stomach. He’s looking okay....

As above! And how old? And do you use soap? I keep seeing so much conflicting advice on this I’m intrigued. I’ll start, twice a week ish unless he’s had a big gross blow out😂 he’s 6 weeks. I’m just adding breast milk to the water atm then I massage coconut oil on after while he’s in his towel.

He's only properly taken to solids in the last couple of weeks, and is now consistently eating three meals a day. We've also cut out 90% of day time breastfeeds (now nighttime only). Our new challenge is constipation! Tiny hard little pellets which seem to give him stomach ache and hurt to pass. Anyone else having...
