Is anyone else’s baby extremely fussy? She won’t be put down as she screams, if you pick her up she screams unless I’m walking around with her and this is all day. The only time she doesn’t scream is when she’s asleep. We switched to anti reflux milk and I’ve been to the doctors to check for CMPA but she just consta...

Hi all How did you hear about your little ones having their next round of vaccines? I just tried calling the GP and they said the letter doesn’t come from them and that it comes from the health visitor.
