Hi, I've just applied for child disability payment and was wondering how long the wait time for it is? I've provided all the relevant documents etc and was just curious if anyone else has applied and how long they take to get back to you. Thanks x

Hey - I know a few people were wondering if taking their little ones to a chiropractor was going to be worth it. We took our 9 week old last night and it’s quite literally, within 1 session, changed our lives. For background he was a failed forceps and emergency C-section baby, lots of issues at the start (CMPA,...

Hey! My baby is currently 4 weeks old and combi fed. For over a week now, he's pooing probably once every 2 days (sometimes longer). Last week we went to the doctors because of it and he thought it was because I was taking antibiotics. Since then, I've stopped antibiotics and he is still the same. We've tried infaco...

Hi mamas, do you give your little ones bath or shower everyday after daycare? (If so, is it right when you get home or before bedtime?)

My one month old is having green poop. Exclusively breastfed. Is this normal?

The girl suffered a concussion and possible skull fracture.

She’s had little streaks every now and then, but nothing actually coming out. We’ve tried tummy massages, prune juice, apple sauce, sweet potatoes, and she drinks plenty of water with plenty of wet diapers. I even tried the Frida gas passer, still nothing. She goes to daycare and now the daycare teachers are getting...

My 3 refuses to bathe!! I’m extremely overwhelmed with a 3 year old and 8 month old baby and 9&11 year olds. He screams and fights. I’m at my ends … I feel so bad!

My LO is 20 weeks and he has been having diarrhoea for 15 days. Been backwards and forwards to the GP and also sought advice from HV. He has always been windy, occasionally a bit grumpy after feeding but apart from that doesn’t show any signs of CMPA etc. He has some patches of dry skin but nothing significant. GP s...

Can anyone give me any tips on how to help a constipated toddler? My son is 17 months and has been transitioning over to oat milk from formula the past few weeks… At first he seemed to be taking to it fine until we got up to 6oz oat milk to 3oz formula… now he’s unable to poop! He’s on his 5th day now (normally he...

Does anyone know when health visitors stop calling? My baby is 2 months now and i haven't heard from them for a month

He drinks about 2 oz every 2-4 hours! He seems to be hungry after he eats but when I’ve tried to give him more he spits it all up? How old is your babe and how much are they eating?

FTM here and I wonder how long does baby/toddler/child need a playmat for? Considering getting totter and tumble but not sure if it's worth it. If anyone's got a totter and tumble, I would be interested to hear your thoughts.

My daughter 11 months pooped this ( I know she’s a bit constipated) since we started solids recently but is the color concerning or not at all? Other info : she’s on iron fortified formula and always have been
