Hi my 6 week old has CMPA, his been put onto Neocate which has helped his poos and the moaning and groaning at night however, his silent reflux has been ten times worse, doesn’t like to lay flat on his back, cry’s whilst drinking his bottle etc, presuming it’s because Neocate is thinner. However he does have a poste...

If any of your little ones are suffering from this awful reflux, I highly recommend you do a food diary and see if there’s any links. I did this and have since figured out it appears my daughter has a dairy intolerance. I breast feed so have cut it out of my diet. She is also no longer having Gaviscon as a side effe...

I think my baby is constipated, this will be the third day he has not had a proper poo. There has been little bits in his nappy a few times but nothing like usual. Anyone have any advice on how to help him?

My first had a tongue tie that wasn't corrected until 7 weeks. We had so many issues at the beginning of our journey and the tongue tie procedure was a lot of money as we had to go private (UK). I believe there is some genetic link, as there has been other babies in our family with tongue tie too. I'm worried about ...

How to help with constipation?? My daughter eats a lot of fruit everyday and I’ve been giving her orange juice to help with her constipation she’s been trying to go since yesterday but it’s not bugging any advice on how to get things moving asap ??

My two week old has not had a poo on 48 hours, I’m getting concerned however she is absolutely fine and happy in herself and showing no signs of discomfort. Also she is still feeding really well (formula fed). Any advice? I will obviously phone midwife later today if nothing has happened. X

She seems fine. Sometimes she strains unsuccessfully, but overall not uncomfortable or vomiting.

Does anyone else's baby spend some nights straining loudly for poos. No difference to how much she is winded. No signs of constipation, but whilst asleep in the next to me she will loudly strain during active sleep

I know it’s normal for a change in poop Patterns when you start solids but is anyone else’s baby going days without pooping? She made it to day four with no pooping so I took her to the pediatrician and they gave her a prescription for enema and it immediately worked. But then after that she again went two days wi...

My little is 2 months old and extremely constipated. I’ve tried gripe water and mylicon drops to help her tummy. Is there anything else I can try?

Did any mommas get a haircut yet for their babies ?! if so Can I see! my boy has curly hair I have no idea what route to take!

Anyone else had the epidural and now just feeling absolutely battered with their back. Honestly I feel like I can’t move properly without it just giving way! It’s so frustrating and painful

I have a 2 year old son who is very attached and clingy to me. He sees my nakedness when I'm having my shower, and when getting dressed. Sometimes, he says things like mummy's breast and pointing. I can't close the bathroom's door against him as is just me and him most of the time. Please, is it wrong to be exposin...

Does anyone else find their baby goes 3-4 days plus without a poo and then you get a poo explosion? He is 7 weeks, just wondering how many days not pooing is normal and when I should be worried/get it checked out?

After a bit of advice.. There seems to be something wrong with him but how do I know what it is.. at first I thought he was gassy, then I questioned my breastfeeding, then could it be reflux, then a dairy allergy, or even tongue tie… I honestly don’t know, this is my second baby so you think you’d be able to figure ...

Hiya mama, we previously have small play mat for tummy time and rolling but my lo starting to want to crawl. We are thinking to get her a bigger play mat that is non slippery and she can have a firm grip...any recommendations?

I'm convinced this isn't normal? My 12 week old had her tongue tie cut 3 days ago, she's in absolute AGONY and has screamed alllll day today even with calpol?! They've cut her actual tongue not the skin underneath ?? I asked them 3 times after if they're sure it's done properly and he said yes.. this is a consultant..

I have my 6 week appointment with my ob this week and wondering if I’m supposed to bring my little guy with me? What did you guys do?

He seems a bit grumpy and out of sorts but otherwise well! Am I ok to wait until Monday to contact the GP?
