I’ll be honest, I am one of those mums who’s over the top with sterilising, washing hands and making sure no one kisses baby. But I really don’t know if I’m over reacting with this. I’ve had multiple issues with my GP surgery where they’ve touched my baby without consent etc bur I’ve never taken it further. Howev...

I just had a quick question does (my LO is 2 months) anyone else’s LO play around with their tongue like stick their tongue out more and more?

Hi everyone, I have a 3 week old who has major trapped gas and constipation. He is nursed and bottle fed breast milk and until 3-4 days ago he was pooping great, at least 6-7 times a day We have tried everything, belly massage, warm baths, Mylicon drops for gas, bicycles with legs and then knees to chest and it ha...

My little boy had his 16 weeks vaccines at 10am today. He’s got a temp of 38. Im giving him calpol as advised and I’ve stripped him into a vest and the house is of normal temp (heatings not on and windows open). He’s red hot, cheeks are red too but there’s no redness around his needle site at all. He’s barely feedin...

Does anyone else have a Doppler? How often do you use it? Just curious 💗 *video is from a few weeks ago (I know they aren’t medically advised and I’d have reduced movements not to reply on them😊)

Is it possible that what you eat can affect baby? I’m absolutely convinced that when I eat something that makes me gassy he’s also gassy. I’ve even started a food diary to try and figure out the culprits. I’m already vegan so cows milk isn’t a trigger here but so far things like pulses (chickpeas/houmous) and vegan...

My baby is having diarrhea for 4 days , sometimes multiple times in 1 hour…. Any tips? She’s not liking the pedialyte either…. I can’t really tell the weeks with so much poo. Can someone tell me their experience? Or someone whose baby has become dehydrated what did you experience? Thank you. I don’t know what else ...

Any tips on easing constipation. Baby has been struggling for over a week now and when she does go it’s hardly anything. We’ve tried the usual plenty of water, prunes as well as a few other things but nothing is helping 😩 I’m going to call the doctors again if no improvement as they said to wait a little longer to…

My partner wants to relax the no kissing rule now our LO is nearly 5 months. I'm not comfortable with it. The only issue is that I have PPA so anything I say just gets fobbed off as anxiety and unreasonable, so it would be good to see where everyone else is at!

We’ve tried my cmpa baby on soya yoghurts the past 3-4 days and she’s come up with this today, would it have shown earlier if it was the soya? Also I was told cmpa babies are more likely to be allergic to soya than non cmpa babies so originally wanted to buy oat yoghurts but my partner purchased the wrong ones but t...

I am grossed out by the thought of my baby being in a swimming pool. There might be people in there with unwashed body parts, or other babies peeing in their nappies, what if my baby swallows the water. There’s no way it’s constantly filtered? I literally cannot get these thoughts out of my head. My little one LOVE...

Did your health visitor discuss domestic violence on the first visit to you? Or if any health visitors are on here is this a routine thing?

Hi I have a 8 month old son who I think has definitely got a tongue tie when he sticks his tongue out it’s a shape of a top of a hart iv noticed there is a small white rice shape lump thing under his tongue today iv try going to doctor again about it when he was younger they didn’t care they told me he was fine now...

I noticed my 14 weeks baby got diarrhea yesterday he got better and back to normal. But this morning woke up and he got diarrhea two times already. What should I do? How long should I wait and observe before we take him to hospital? Any mum experience this. As he now likes to put his hand in his mouth and also duri...

My little one has her 12 week jabs tomorrow and wondered if anybody found they needed to use Calpol despite not necessarily needing to for these ones?

Controversial 🫶 I don’t want any of the jabs during pregnancy especially not any covid19 ones, one I’m petrified of needles and two there full of shit I don’t want in my body 🥹 Has anyone else gone thought pregnancy without having any of so was it ok ? Because for my baby if needs be I will do it however if I can…

Just looking for others experiences. I attended my postpartum check last week ( 8 weeks) post c section. The appointment was supposed to be a double appointment, part for me and part for my little boy's 8 week injections. I came out feeling like my check was absolutely a waste of time and pointless, they didn't chec...

We are investigating suspected CMPA. The main symptoms are reflux and mucusy stools, as well as dropping a percentile. The reflux on the hypoallergenic and amino acid formulas has in fact gotten worse..

My almost 12 week old just had her 8 week jabs yesterday (cancelled twice as she was hospitalised with bronchiolitis) and is really out of sorts. I don't remember my first being this bad with them, she's very tearful and unsettled, sounds like she is sore. How long did it take your LOs to improve?

Past couple of days my little one been having diarrhoea. Yellow ish. I’m not sure if it’s a food allergy or dairy. Any advice on this . She is fine in her self so don’t think it’s a tummy bug . She just keeps having loads of diarrhoea thought out the day and night . So I’m wondering if it is her milk . Making a doc...
