Line eyes?

Immunisations and illness

Anyone else's baby fall ill after their jabs? I don't mean the fever they can sometimes get after. My daughter never actually got a fever. But she's been congested since then and green poos and coughs and struggling to sleep/no sleep. I've seen the gp and they don't think it's anything else. She said it might just b...

Molars coming out causing diarrhea?

Not really sure what to do anymore. At first I felt like I was feeding him too much fruit or not enough fiber. My 14m old has had loose stools for like a month now. The only other thing I can think of is his teething. Just seems excessive. Did anyone experience this as well?? And how long did it last?

Bath time

How often are we bathing our babies? My boy is now 7 weeks, and currently has two baths a week. However, he LOVES them and they seem to chill him out for the evening, so I’m wondering when I can increase them?
