Little one passed out

Hey guys, so this afternoon my little one was sitting on his play mat and lent forward to hug the dog but the dog moved so he sort of faceplanted onto the mat. He cried a little so I picked him up to hug him and he passed out/his eyes rolled back. It was of course terrifying and I breathed into his mouth and rubbed ...

Constipation

My 2 week old hasn’t had a poo for 48 hours? He’s formula fed. I’ve given a warm bath, cycled his legs, massaged his tummy … should I contact GP or is there any other tips? This happened the other day he didn’t poo for 24 hours but did 2 blow outs the next day.

Do I need to start with a thickener or will it possibly not give him reflux? I’m so confused? I don’t want him to be constipated from the thicken...

TMI but can we please talk 💩 🙈

My little boy is 20 weeks, he's predominantly breastfed but has a few bottles of formula each week. He's always had a typical baby runny poop, however he had one today that had the usual consistency/colour but also areas that had more texture/lumpy. Just wondering if this seems normal? Thank you!

Baby changing facilities UK

I was out with my baby (7 months) when she needed a change, there was a soft play but they wouldn't let us use the toilet without paying. Luckily there was a pub nearby and they let me use there. Is that normal for play rooms? I just assumed because they are family friendly places that they wouldn't turn away a ba...

8 week immunisations

Hey, Does anyone know or have any advice on whether I should give my LO her first dose of calpol 4hrs before her jabs and then another dose straight after? The box says no more than 2 doses then to see a dr but I know she’s going to be feeling off for the first day or so so unsure if just 2 doses will be enough?
