8weeks vaccines coming up soon and was wondering if people are giving their little ones calpol before hand or waiting to see if baby has fever after the vaccines? Was recommended by my sister to use calpol 2hr prior the vacation

Would yall let yall bd see the baby if he wasn’t doing nothing to help physically with the baby? Like don’t change her bath her make her bottles do her milestones with her basically the basic

Hey everyone, my MIL doesn’t believe in vaccines and even has used religious exemption to avoid ALL vaccines for her kids. My husband has gotten all the childhood vaccines on his own as an adult, but his sister has not had any. Our OB recommended anyone who comes into regular contact with the baby get a Tdap boo...

I will be 3 weeks pp on friday , had two stitches down there but feel completly healed now, discharge almost completly stopped as well. I want to take a nice warm bath, would it be safe to do so ? I also have some bath salts , would it be safe to bathe in that or just warm water ?

How many shots did your LO get at their check up and how did they respond? If they had symptoms afterwards how long did it last for them?

My son has finally been referred to an ENT for all of his ear infections and I could not be more happy. What should I expect on a first visit with them? What do they normally discuss at the first appointment? Picture of my sweet baby for tax. ❤️

My newborn girl has a tongue tie and despite two separate referrals from a doctor and midwife, we’ve still heard nothing regarding her tongue tie. Plus, she’s gaining weight really well so I’m fully expecting to be told that they won’t cut it as her weight is fine (I’ve heard NHS tend to say this regardless of how i...

I’ve now had 5 back to back nights of zero sleep. My 3 week old gets put down and wakes up as he is straining to do a poo and sounds like he is in discomfort and then starts crying very loudly. He poos regularly (2-3 times a day) so not constipated. We’ve tried colief drops, infacol, baby massages, bicycles, white n...

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?
