My 3 week old is super gassy, diarrhea, spitting up, and you can obviously tell she is in pain! We had her on enfamil gentle ease that didn’t seem to help maybe make it worse then pretty quickly switched to hypoallergenic to see if that would help and she definitely isn’t as gassy but is throwing up. Anyone have any...

Just been thinking about the jabs we have to take whilst pregnant. My midwife mentioned taking RSV which from my research is very new (only came out in September 2024). I only had whooping cough with my first and I planned on taking it this time around but I’m skeptical about taking RSV. I know how bad it can be whe...

I gave my 11 month old avocado for the 2nd time ever yesterday (the first time it didn’t agree with his tummy at 6 months old) He projectile vomitted about 4 hours after giving it around 5 times. I have spoken to a doctor who said to keep him hydrated and it was probably a reaction to the avocado. He doesn’t have a ...

Hi everyone! My 4 week old had a tongue tie release yesterday. Any tips from anyone on helping him recover/relearn his latch? Or any other experiences with this? I’m really hoping this is going to make feeding a lot easier all round (we’re doing mainly BF but have been supplementing in some formula as he’s been so h...

So I've got my date. Baby's not due till 3rd dec, but he will be making an exit on 22nd @ 38+3. (Dependent on if i get pushed back.) I suffered so bad after my last section 19m ago. Couldn't toilet for weeks and was so compacted and painfull it was unreal, and i got 🍑🫒. I didn't take any stool softener and my…

My little one recently had her 2nd dose of jabs on Wednesday and ever since has been so grumpy, not sleeping well (was sleeping 10-5!!!!) and just generally not herself normally very chilled and content. Has anyone else experienced this after jabs? 1st dose didn’t seem to bother her at all.

Think my son may have silent reflux so I changed him to kendamil comfort since Tuesday .. he’s been ok on it but his poo is now green and really smelly I’m worried I’ve done the wrong thing because apparently it not even for reflux , should I swap him back to the normal one ? Or will that mess him up or just do it g...

My baby is 8 months old and I now suspect she has an intolerance or allergy to the cow and gate formula she has, is there anyone else that has had this?

32 weeks and the restless leg syndrome as horrible. Any one have any good solutions?? A

Soo there’s been tension all day , this guy just can’t seem to NOT want to argue! While we’re in the kitchen he’s in my proximity not giving me any space, screaming who I am and what I am and telling me to move! Not in a nice way either! I say No I’m sticking right here! I’m playing songs about being treated properl...

It can be either the boob or a dummy but he will do hunger cues when I'm 95% sure he's not still hungry (huge belly, big feed etc) and as soon as he starts sucking something he'll do the mightiest shart I've ever heard 😂 he's 3 weeks old now. Wondering if it's a comfort thing like moral support to get this poop out 😂

Anyone else had a telephone consultation for their postnatal check? Even though I didn’t need stitches I still think it should’ve been done in person. I feel a bit let down, especially as the Dr lectured me on how breast is best AFTER I told her I was unable to breastfeed and felt so down and guilty about it when ...

Does anyone have any insight on what vaccines a newborn gets and if you decided to go against any or all? I’m a first time mom and I’m really struggling on what to do.

Someone told me that my 1 year old is due some more vaccinations now? I’m a little confused though as my GP hasn’t contacted me about this? Is this true? And what are these vaccinations for? (Sorry if this is a really stupid question - it’s just so hard to keep up with everything!)

After some feeds, particularly in the night my baby is finding it hard to burp, I’ve tried:- • Over the shoulder rubbing and patting • Over my lap rubbing and patting • Sitting up right rubbing and patting • Bobbing/walking up and down • Rubbing tummy and bicycle legs She just won’t burp!! And I’m scared to put...

Is this normal breathing or is he sucking in at the ribs?

My baby doesn't poo daily. I was advised that she should take movicol every single day until she poos and then still continue. Is this right? Apparently it's not a laxative and it's safe. Does anyone else's baby poo every 2 to 3 days?

My 12 week old for the last few days has had v bad smelling nappies and looser poos (sorry not a nice post) - it has smelt a little fishy, but she is only doing 1 of these a day so it’s not diahorrea. Any one else had this? 🙈 worried it may be a tummy bug!

Has anyone else experienced there baby have stomach pain or look like there in discomfort after having Greek yogurt? He still isn’t asleep because he’s so upset and arching his back like he’s in pain. This has happened 3 times in the last 2 weeks and when I look back through my app for what foods he’s had etc it is...

Are we supposed to contact them to arrange visits? Or do they contact us? My son is 7 and a half months and I’ve only seen the health visitor once? Is this normal? I’m not from this country but where I’m from in the EU the health visitor comes every 3 months to check on baby?
