I have a baby shower to go to today for a very close friend and my baby sitter said she’s sick and can’t watch my baby. I’m hesitant on bringing my baby to the baby shower bc of the recent news that there is a confirmed case of the measles in La. When I think about it wouldn’t it be relatively the same if not more r...

Anyone else super constipated no matter what you do or eat? The pains of trying to go literally feel like contractions!

Hey Mamas, anyone got any recommendations on what toys are good for an 8 month old? I feel like my lo has outgrown the toys she has and needs some new ones but I’m not sure what to get, thanks!

Do you eat the white stringy stuff on oranges? I don’t but my husband does and think it’s a waste of time to take them off but they’re gross to me

Any tips. My 10 day old has been switched from BFing to formula and she seems constipated now. We do the bicycle kicks foot rub and tummy rub (as carefully as we can because she still has her umbilical cord stub). Any other things ppl would recommend to try and help her poop?

Has anyone not had their 2 year review? We've not had a letter or anything. Just wondering if that's normal?

How long do you let your little ones play independently for?

My little one is 11 weeks (EBF) and from around week 4 or 5 he started having very green poos. I asked at the practice and got told that it was normal and it might be my oversupply of milk as he was probably not getting the fatty one. He has always been so gassy and with some reflux. This week we saw a tiny speck of...

Looking for recommendations, LB is 19m, take him to a play centre to save my sanity on weekend morning 😂

Baby boy is 15weeks (breastfed). For first 2-3 weeks bowels were fine he went every other day but then things changed (for no apparent reason). Since then he needs laxatives to go every time. Doctor said it’s fine for babies to go up to 10 times a day or every 10 days both are completely normal. (I’m not sure i agre...

He likes to chug his milk....

I just want to ask if other mums have had this. I understand if it's too tmi, but I've never had baby before now, and sadly had to be emergency caesarian section with a knick to my bladder which needed repairing. Bub and I have been home a couple of days now (born very early Monday morning) and I've been drinking s...

There's never a weekend where our 3 boys can't stay out of the ER 🤦🏻‍♀️ My 10 year old hurt his toe while playing outside and ripped the toe nail off. An hour later we can't get the bleeding to stop and he's afraid of us touching his toe to replace the bandages

Any recommendations for a farm with a soft play that has a baby area? Needs to be suitable for both a 3 year old and 9 month old. Not mead open farm. Thanks 🙂

Not sure if my baby has colic, he cried a lot this afternoon and evening, inconsolable... barely ate and since 5.30pm he's been sleeping until now when he woke up to feed. Wanted to change him and noticed his nappy was dry.. no wees since I last changed him, almost 4 hours ago. Should I be concerned, don't know what...

Just wondering if people bath their October babies with their older siblings yet or when they are planning on doing so? And if so, can you recommend any bath seat? My little girl is 5 months and her older sister is 3.5 years. I currently bathe baby in a Shnuggle but she has started using her feet on the sides of th...

Baby is 5 months (4 corrected) and was never a fan of her baths but has lately become absolutely hysterical and completely inconsolable for long periods of time if we attempt to bathe her. (She even became like that when I hugged her for a moment while wearing a towel after my own shower) We were bathing her weekly...

I'm 4 weeks PP and still have not had a bath, just been getting a daily shower as I don't want my scar to be too wet. My scar got sore 1 week post partum and had to take antibiotics biotics, but it has healed nicely since. I'm unsure when is ok to get a bubble bath as I don't want to risk getting an infection/sorene...

Hi was wanting to do no vaccines at all but thinking maybe I should get some important ones? If you guys have any research or thoughts please share

Baby boy only poos once or twice a week usually however we are now on day 6 no poo … I wouldn’t say he’s really uncomfortable but he does sometimes make a noise when he’s pumping. He has been passing wind, just no poo and I’ve tried bicycle movements with his legs and tummy strokes … what do I do?
