Frequent pooping

Does anyone else’s baby poop ALL the time? He’s 5 & a half months, exclusively breastfed, I know breast milk has natural laxatives but throughout the night last night he pooped 6 times, twice more this morning and it’s not even 8am. Throughout the day he’ll probably poop 7-8 times too on average! Is this normal?🤣

Let’s back up a sec: for bathing, we use a sterilized peri-bottle for squirting her body with a water and shampoo/body wash mix. Tonight after washing with a washcloth, I squirted her body with it and it was ge...

Kennel cough vaccine

I’ve been advised by the vets that my dog can’t have his kennel cough vaccine yet as we have a 4 week old baby at home. They can’t advise when he can have it as they can’t make that call apparently. Has anyone else been through this? How old was your baby when your dog had the vaccine?

Suddenly terrified of the bath

My 17 month old used to love the bath, would run to it every evening and enjoyed splashing etc. Then overnight about a week ago when we put her in she was terrified - holding on for dear life and shouting ‘all done’ to get out. This has happened every time we try and bathe her since. Nothing has happened in the bath...
