My baby was supposed to have her 8 week jabs today (she's 9 weeks 4 days so it's already late) but her appointment was cancelled due to staff sickness and rebooked for two weeks time when she'll almost be 12 weeks. This feels very late and I wondered if anyone knows if this will cause any problems for her? Thank you.

My little girl was born at 32 weeks, was exclusively breast fed for the first few weeks and then I switched her into formula - she has been getting progressively worse, seeming in pain with wind, straining, back arching either during or after feeds and takes ages to settle. She has recently started bringing up milk ...

Hello mamas, My baby has his jabs on Thursday. They told me to make sure that my baby is well otherwise they will need to reschedule. He has had a congested nose since he started nursery in July and he is now coughing since a week and a half. He doesn't have fever but in that case, would you reschedule? xx

Which would you pick? I’m a ftm and about to update our flooring and don’t know which would be best long term and financially for our growing family. Currently have a 5 month old.

Our baby has a tongue tie, he is both breast and bottle fed and the tounge tie doesn’t effect feeding. He can also poke his tongue further than his gums so paediatrician told us he won’t have speech problems. But I can’t help but to think I should cut it. Opinions?

Anyone else’s baby super fussy at about 7-9pm? Anything you’re doing helping ? He doesn’t want bottle or boob really!

My son had his jabs, he wouldn’t let us take the plasters off even though they were irritating him. I finally got it off after 3 days and this is what was under it! Would you say he’s allergic? Or has it gone like that because he had it on for too long🫠

My 10 week old is ebf. We are on day 7 of no poo! I know it can vary for bf babies but 7 days?!? Anyone else got similar? I might ring the HV tomorrow anyway but wanted to see if others had the same!

Are you giving daily baths now? X

Anyone else’s toddler not poo for days on end but still eats and drinks like normal. I have been to the dr numerous times he said it’s his diet (very fussy eater) but if he’s not in pain not to worry too much but can try laxatives again if he’s not going regularly. It bothers me when he won’t poop and no matter what...
