I keep seeing posts on here about Health Visitors, and I haven't seen mine since 6 weeks (ish) pp. Are you having regular appointments or only seeing them when requested? I appreciate things might be different across different trusts.

Hi lovely mamas, It’s been 18 years since I’ve travelled with a baby and been on holiday with baby too. We are travelling in June and baby will be 1 years old, any advice welcomed. It’s a 2.5 hour flight. Also the Airbnb we have booked only have walk in shower (was impossible to book one with a bath 😅) and they…

My 6 week old has been coughing while feeding for the last couple of weeks. He has gotten quite fussy recently too. He also gets the hiccups frequently after feeding. Could this be a sign of reflux? I did go up a teat size in the mam bottle from a size 0 to a 1 so i wonder if it’s too quick for him also.

What do you guys do with your toddlers whilst showering? I always used to have my shower whilst she napped but now our schedule has changed I need to have it whilst she’s awake but not sure where to put her 😂

I didn’t know it was a trying that people actually turn down vaccines for babies 😳 just wondering if people have turned them down? I defo don’t agree with turning down vaccines but can’t believe people actually do!

If my baby woke up in the night and screamed for 2.5 hours I can't complain because someone else had the same for 3 hours. If my baby did a massive poo that was in every crevice and took 10 wetwipes to clean up I can't complain because someone else had one that took 11 wipes. If I've not been able to eat or have a h...

My baby doesn’t cry anymore so idk what other cue he’s giving me to know when he’s hungry so I be thinking he is hungry but he is not and I keep wasting formula so I just keep guessing! Help! Is this happening to you guys?

I get so paranoid when it comes to my babies breathing at night. I think she has a cold and is constantly grunting. I can tell she’s struggling and this makes me lose out on sleep cos I don’t wanna sleep knowing hes struggling. Sigh it’s so frustrating. Should I call health visitor or gp ?

How long after having your baby did you wait to take a bath? I’m dying to take one😭

My baby is almost 6 months old and this last week or 2, he suddenly doesn't like eating on the left side. He will try, but then he'll freak out until I move him to the right side. I Can't figure out if it could be something to do with his acid reflux and laying on his right side, possible ear infection, or if my lef...

I feel like all parents should be required to learn basic cpr training following the birth of their lo’s. I think it’s so important that we know exactly what to do when it’s time as opposed to getting there, panicking and potentially putting baby at an even more risk of a fatality.

My baby has just learnt to roll from back to belly and is constantly doing it, she’s on her belly all day but is also bringing up so much milk because of her reflux. Anyone else’s baby like this? Any advise?

Came back from ER. She didn’t see the baby in the kitchen and swung the cleaver to dry it. And hit my toddler (2) I’m fucking furious. And I don’t even wanna what to say, should I even talk to her. I just wanna tell her off. We already don’t have a good relationship bc she doesn’t respect boundaries and wants to ove...

Hi all, I went down the wooden route. Then these were bought as gifts for my little on. I do toy rotation but I’m finding she has grown out of most toys or I think maybe she is bored of them?! Please tell me what your little ones are playing with at the moment so I can buy new things for her xx

My 2.5 week old has just projectile vomitted - is this normal? She fed about 30 mins prior

I had them in my head and then completely forgot once the age came around. I thought I would have heard from the docs too but haven’t.

Has anyone's lo had side effects from the x2 booster injections at 3 yrs 4m? My lb had them last Friday (14th). Was fine after, achey arm the same day. Since Wednesday his appetite has been really hit and miss. He's been VERY lethargic off and on. And tonight just before bed he's been sick. He hasn't got a fever. Af...

My little girl absolutely loves baths and can't get into the quick enough.. the last week, I'd say, she's done a complete 360. She's having tantrums, she hears the bath running and she starts hysterically crying. If we manage to get her in, then she will just sob her heart out. Is this normal? It honestly breaks my ...

My newborn baby has this blister-like forming on his lip. Is it bc of the feeding ? Any tips ?
