Who’s made the transition and how did you do it safely?

My breastfed baby is 13 days old but cries and grunts and makes horrid noises when she’s trying pass wind / poo. It seems really difficult for her. Does anyone else have experience with this? I’m trying to burp her after feeds etc but she seems really uncomfortable.

my newborn (2 weeks old) is pooing between 7-10 times a day and they are quite runny and yellow. just wondering if this was normal?

I've just got back from the GP who's suggested we try aptamil pepti 1 after finding some blood in my girls stool, amongst other things. Is anyone else on this formula and how does your little one find it? We had her on cow&gate since birth 7 weeks ago so I'm nervous to change in case it really disrupts her. Mainly ...

How often are you bathing your baby

We are trying to graduate from the mini tub. What does everyone do with baby's bath time? Do you sit them up in the big bath tub? With a seat? Non slip mat? Or use a bigger size shnuggle tub?

My little boy is 3 weeks old and he’s started spitting up milk after most feeds or about 1/2 hours later. He also gets hiccups quite a lot and refuses to burp during/ after a bottle. He cries on the nappy mat and now I’m wondering if this is because he’s on his back? He doesn’t seem to be crying in any pain but he i...

My baby is 1month old (gave birth 2nd March). He’s exclusively breastfed. He’s got these red spots all over his face, under his chin, chest, ears, on his back, neck, and his scalp.

My 9 week old has for the last week been in pain when pooing or trying to poo. She has a real pained look on her face and lets out a really high pitched cry. Sometimes it isn’t a poo just some wind, she only seems to be pooing every other day recently. Formula fed only

Not sure if someone can help me or give me advice. I have a 6 week old baby. The past two days when she has been feeding. She’s been very fussy and pushing the bottle away even when she is starving.

Are you BF or combination of BF AND FORMULA or just formula?

Hey! I’ve got my first health visitor appointment on the 15th, baby isn’t here yet, and I’m just wondering what to expect. I only moved in 2 weeks ago so I’m still sorting the flat out I.e painting, furniture etc and babies nursery is currently empty. Will it go against me if I haven’t got babies nursery sorted, he’...

My nearly 8 week old is exclusively breastfeed, he now hasn’t pooped since Monday (his poo was normal, yellowy slightly runny and seedy) and I’m worried his tummy is hurting!

My son needs size 5 shoes but I am struggling on what to get him. Sometimes I can get the shoe on him but then the strap won’t go over. If anyone has any recommendations for a 1 year old with fat feet that would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi, my LO is 20 weeks and yesterday I gave him an Ella pouch of peach puree. He’s absolutely fine in himself but his poo today is dark green and smells FOUL. Is that normal when introducing purées or could he have an intolerance etc?

My ten month old really suffers from constipation. I try prunes, pears, water, lactulose! He’s been passing dark pebbles now for a week. I’m at a loss what more I can do to help. He’s now refusing food and teething 🙃 help a mumma out!

I need help from other moms if you gone through this or are going through this. My son what I think is going through now is chronic constipation, however the GP is not listening and instead I am getting lessons on how I am not feeding him right. He is fussy eater and has been since he was year and half or so and he’...
