My 2 week old baby girl refuses to burp - she’s exclusively breast fed at the moment and I’ve tried every technique under the sun but she just squirms then gets discomfort and cries then throws up what she’s just fed. 😭 anyone else experiencing the same thing or have a magical technique???

I was wondering if anyone has experienced their baby being hysterical while trying to burp, my little one is seven weeks old and literally as soon as I take the bottle out of her mouth she will scream and cry and stiffen up to the point where I can’t even sit her on my knee. She’s currently on aptamil anti-reflux be...

How often should a newborn poop?

So apparently, chia seeds absorb water in your tummy. To avoid this too much, you should soak them for 10-15 minutes in water, milk or a milk substitute before consuming. Do you do this? Share anything relevantly educational if you can.

Has anyone had success with a paediatric chiropractor for gas? My baby is 2 months old and struggles with gas - burps, spit up and farts. Should I wait out for the 3 month mark before trying something like this?

My combo but mostly formula fed 4mo poo suddenly changed to green one month ago and hasn’t changed back to yellow since. Why?

Today I was at my baby’s appointment and the doctor asked me if he poops and I said “ Yes only on formula not on the breastmilk “ she said it was weird? Anyone else or is it just me ?

My little one is about 9 weeks old and hasn’t pooped for 4 days now. He’s been on breast milk since birth, however we started supplementing him with formula a little over a week ago.

Does anyone know any free first aid classes for parents, in North London?

My 7 week old has pooed in 2 days, I know it’s not a long time but all of his poos before that have been really hard and look like pebbles. You can really see that it hurts him when pushing it out. Even tho 2 days isn’t long I know it’s not normal for him and he’s really struggling. I’ve tried everything I can think...
