My newborn keeps crying and straining during and after a feed. We thought he maybe had colic and was struggling with wind so have been giving infacol. But now it seems every time I try to wind half way through a feed, he intensely cries and starts straining/growling. Is this discomfort? A sign he wants more feedin...

My 13 month old cries so much when he needs to poop. I’ve tried increasing his water intake, and giving him some prune juice which doesn’t seem to help. What can I do to help him?

My daughter received her 2nd dose of immunisation yesterday and i just find this in her nappy. She is breastfed, anyone experienced something similar? Should i call GP?

Feeling like a terrible mum over here but I didn’t notice my dog go and get his antler (he gnaws on these) and he dropped it in the middle of baby’s toys without my realising. I only noticed it after my baby was chewing away on it happily 🤦‍♀️ I know very soon he’ll he trying to literally drink out of the dog’s…

Saw a TikTok and the comments had me shocked. The girl was three in the tik tok

Doesn't the recent FDA halt on RSV vaccine trials make you question 💉 more? If you weren't aware, the trials were stopped because the infants in the vaccine group were becoming severely ill while the placebo group infants did not get sick or had only mild illness.

My baby was offered the BCG jab because she’s half asian. The health visitor said that baby is more likely to need it if she’s around people who live in Asia who are more at risk of TB. I don’t plan to leave the UK and rarely see my family members. They visit Asia every year but I don’t think it’s reason enough to g...

My 9weeks old now cries,and stretches whenever he wants to poo and pass out wind. His tummy also rumbles loudly. And again, I noticed a change in his poo. It now looks slimy. Should I be worried? As a matter of fact, I am worried.

Does anybody know the difference between the two? We’ve been given Nutramigen to try after having tried SMA. I don’t want to keep changing if there isn’t a massive difference between the two. My first had CMPA and was fine with SMA. Baby is 5 weeks and is still having issues. He’s also on Omeprazole for reflux...

Any April babies had pox. Any tips?

First time mum ! Have been adjusting pretty well to caring for newborn 24/7 and lack of sleep. I don’t know if it’s just my area but the home visit midwives are sometimes turning up when we haven’t been told we’re having a visit or not showing on a day we’ve been told we’ll have a visit for example we expected a vis...

Does anyone else’s baby scream bloody murder like all the time it seems? It’s so hard to get him down, he drinks his breast milk (I pump and bottle feed) and he does okay but spits up A LOT. even sometimes in his bassinet when he wakes me up he has a pile of spit up in there. He screams and screams after feedings as...

Are we all bathing baby? If so, how often? Someone told me bathing them too much can get rid of their natural oils in their skin and can lead to things like eczema. But then others say they like to have a bath and bed routine etc. I was just wondering what the majority are doing? We did one bath at 2 weeks old wit...

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...
