My LG is 12 weeks and hasn't been for a poo since Wednesday evening and that was...well let's say she needed a bath afterwards 😅 she's breastfed with 2 bottles of EBM a day (5oz/4oz) and been a lot hungrier the last few days.

Hiii so my bf lost his DL and has a flight on the 18th. Can he use his ID instead? Is it still valid since he has his license now? If I’m remembering correctly when I was younger they voided my permit of course but I think they told me my ID isn’t valid anymore . Not 100% positive or can we use paper ID to fly?

My son used to love the bath and asked to do it most days. He pooped in the tub once and is now terrified. It’s been two months of trying to get him to enjoy it again.

We’ve all just had norovirus so we’ve not been well. My little one is fine now apart from a really bloated belly which seems to be causing him some pain. Is there anything I can give him to help? Would infacol or gripe water help? It seems to just be gas as he’s had plenty of dirty nappies

Does anyone know if one is better than the other? Currently 21 weeks and suffering from pretty severe pelvic pain but not sure at this stage would be more effective? Any thoughts or anyone with experience in this field?

In the last week, when my son does a poo he starts getting upset (loud crying). He can be settled quickly once he’s finished. He’s on 3 meals a day and he has gone up to 3 days without a bowel movement but lately he’s been going regularly but still crying. Is anyone else experiencing this? Any advice? Thanks mamas x

So my little one just turned 6 months a couple weeks ago and I’ve started giving him rice cereal - just a tablespoon a day. He hasn’t pooped in 3 days and today he did, but it looked hard.
