Has anyone had any experience with Xonvea? My trusted friend cyclizine has stopped working and the drs have said this is a new anti sickness medication that has recently been licensed for use in pregnancy and wondered if anyone else has been prescribed it?

I have been on a strict dairy and soy free diet for almost 5 weeks but my baby still reacts (blood in her poos). I thought that this time was enough to clear out the MP. I don’t know what else to do, I’m barely eating anything, feel like giving up on breastfeeding but that breaks my heart. Should I stop eating egg a...

I think my baby has CMPA, or at least she has most of the symptoms of it. She is 4 1/2 weeks old and recently has become so restless and visibly in pain, I feel like I’m failing her as I can’t do anything to help. - Struggling to Poo (Constipated) - Arching Back - Spots / Rashes on Face & Body - Can’t sleep lying...

Newborns are so stressful trying to figure out what’s wrong! At the moment we are trying to figure out if my son is uncomfortable because of normal digestion.. reflux.. colic.. or CMPA! It’s always a worry 😅

Has anyone else developed an allergy after having their kid and then the sudden allergy magically disappearing a few years later? All my life I grew up on whole milk and all dairy, after giving birth to my daughter I developed a lactose intolerance but recently (3.5 years later) I can now eat it all with no proble...

We’re looking to give our baby his first bath. I’ve seen videos recommending a milky bath and its benefits for baby skin. But NHS says it’s best to give babies a plain water bath. How did you bathe your baby the first time?

First case of measles in my city. Baby is 8mo and I’m worried. We are out a lot around other kids and my toddler goes to a preschool a few hours a week that sadly does not make kids get vaccinated. Obviously the toddler is vaccinated but we go into the building to pick her up a baby is with me most of the time. Ha...

Wonder if anyone can help? I just recieved £102.85 child benefit for first time - how many weeks is this for? My baby will be 4 weeks on Friday. I applied 28th March, I know rates changed for April. TIA

Hey guys how are we doing tummy time with reflux babies, who spit up after feeds, have to be held for an hour almost. Im finding it really difficult to incorporate the tummy time.

I've been told nothing by my GP or nurses, but has anyone else had a prem baby and were the jabs given as standard? I'm slightly worried as my LO bas only just reached 7lbs

I took my eyes off my boy for 2 seconds to clean up after him and he began cleaning the toilet with my hairbrush. The bathroom floor and him were soaking. Today he had a death wish and kept running away from me in front of the swings with big kids in them. He’s driving me to an early grave. Any other stories?

It was mentioned by my midwife at my last appointment this is baby no.4 for me my youngest being 7 and eldest 19, and I don’t remember having this with any of my children. I’m not anti vax it’s just it’s very new to me, what are your thoughts?

My boy will be 8 weeks tomorrow. Sometimes he was struggling after feeding with wind, so we tried Infacol & that seemed to help, but the HV said to try gripe water instead. This was used last week & seemed to help a bit. However, yesterday baby seemed to start struggling again with his belly after a feed and it’s g...

I have introduced my baby to cow and gate porridge as part of her starting to eat food instead of her 210ml 11am feed. However the last few days she is showing signs of constipation and I just can’t get her to drink water throughout the day. I’m looking for some advice on how to get babies to drink fluid and what an...

Looking for recommendations for a prebiotic and/or probiotic for my almost 15 month old baby girl. She struggles with constipation and I just want to help her little system. I try hard to avoid anything non-natural and she has a very balanced diet as well as she still breastfeeds. Any recommendations would be appre...

Does anyone know when they’re meant to be?!

Not sure if my son has CMPA or not. Those of you who have had your babies diagnosed with the allergy what are the symptoms ? Typically my baby is a chill baby unless he’s hungry or over tired. But since about 2 weeks old(he’s now 9 weeks old) he has spit up soo much like I have to change his outfits so often thru th...

If your little girls hair is long enough to be cut, have they had their first haircut yet?

My girl is still urinating but not as much as before. She used to have full diapers in between feeds and now they are less heavy diapers. She doesn’t have a fever, is eating fine and hasn’t been acting super different. Is this normal around 13 weeks or should I take her to the doctor?

Parent of the child who died of measles STILL thinks their DEAD child is better off without the MMR vaccination. I thought perhaps a common ground between those that vaccinate and those that choose not to was the livelihood of their children, but if we can’t see eye to eye on that, how do we find a common ground to ...
