How many times a day does your nursery post updates to their app? We get updates on food/sleep/nappy changes consistently. But we only really ever get one photo/activity update a day, and often none at all. It would be nice to see or hear more about what he’s up to. Wondering if this is the norm or if I’m just heli...

Hi When can I expect the flu jab? I’m currently 14 weeks Thank you

Any mums here with newborns who absolutely hate car seats and prams? We tried to tackle his silent reflux and colics thinking this may be the cause, but nothing helps. He can be distracted for a little bit, but every time goes into hysterics anyway. It’s been 3 months and I am running out of ideas, any recommendatio...

For mums that have had their babies 9-12 month review.. what sort of questions do they ask you?

My 20 days old hasn’t done any poo since 8 days now, any advice? Anyone else that experienced this with a breastfed newborn?

My little one for about a month now has been doing some really explosive poos!! She used to poo several times a day and now will go every other day usually. If she’s laying down the nappy will catch it all just! If she’s in her pram or sitting in something it will go all up her back and down her legs 😫😫😫 I dread to…

So my baby gp isn’t the best but my baby girl had her first lot of jabs at 10 weeks so she supposed to have them last week at 14 weeks as we all know it’s every 4 weeks but I haven’t even heard off the gp about her 12 weeks jabs so I don’t know should I phone or wait it out as my gp is really shit 💩 or possibly…

How were you little ones after 12 week jabs? My LB is 15 weeks and he’s just cried since having them done 😩

Do any mamas just use bath time for what it is? To get the baby/child clean. Or are we all allowing some level playtime/toys in the bath? Severely unpopular opinion: I can’t stand bath toys. I don’t mind bath time fun such as bubbles and splash play. Thanks in advance.

Sorry for what it may be a daft question, but what is the difference between vomit and spit up for babies with reflux?

Has anyone taken their baby to see a cranial osteopath? My little boys labour was 40 minutes from first contraction to him being born and he suffers with bad reflux and a very poor sleeper. People at work have mentioned taking him to a cranial osteopath but I don’t know if it would be beneficial or not. I just wan...

What do I do. He already has apples etc in his diet

hey everyone. my 3 month old was given a stool softener yesterday to help him go. my problem is every time i give it to him he throws it all back up. is there anything tricks i can do to get him to take it ?

My little boy is now 6 months, I really need to start cracking on with weaning however I really dont feel hes fully settled on a milk. Hes been on puramino now for a few month and been doing great but the past couple of weeks hes been suffering again with his belly, lots of trapped wind and mucousy nappies, although...

My LG is 16 weeks and I constantly have her hands covered thinking I’m keeping them warm. She is forever sucking her hands and they are wet through all the time so I’ve been putting mittens over her sleepsuit mittens to prevent it soaking through to her hands as they are always absolutely FREEZING. Now I realise w...

Baby is 4.5 weeks old and EBF, had his tongue tie done last Monday but I still don’t think his latch is brilliant, he never opens his mouth wide like he should and during this mornings feed my breast felt quite deflated. What can I do to make sure my supply doesn’t reduce? He’s been having a lot of green tinged poo...

I was involved in a nasty car crash yesterday with my 3 year old. How do you get over the fear of getting back in the car again? Do I give it time or just get straight back in? The thought of driving makes me feel physically sick 🤢

Does anyone use an anti slip mat in the bath for their babies? My LO is 1 soon and I need to take her out of the bath seat but worried she will slip everywhere

At what age does the doctor stop asking for your baby to be naked? I was just thinking about teaching them about privacy and private areas, not letting others touch them and how I would explain or handle when it comes to care providers

Struggle to get burps out of baby whilst feeding but do get pumps, is that the same thing or should I always keep going until I get a burp?
