Hi all Looking for some advice. My LO is now 3 months old and we have been on a feeding journey from the start. He was EBF for the first 7 weeks, I then had to combi feed and eventually we went to strictly formula feeding around 4 weeks ago. I did wonder when I was BF if he had an allergy to milk given he was...

Could the milk I’ve been using be causing he’s constipation? He’s pooing but screams in pain and when it comes out it’s solid the size of a rock!

My little one is due her 8 weeks jabs soon and really torn on letting her have them, what’s everyone’s opinion on them and if your little one had them ? How they was after?

Hey moms, I have a newborn, 1 month old. Hasn’t pooped since 1am this morning so we’re coming up on 24 hours, hasn’t slept all day, very obviously uncomfortable. I’ve been doing the crunches and belly rubs, we did the warm bath, gave him some gas relief drops. He’s farting just not pooping. Any tips? Thank you!

So I’ve just had my antenatal health visit home visit and I found it very informative. She spoke to us about breastfeeding, our overall health and wellbeing, our background info such as what we do for work etc, she also signed me up for antenatal breastfeeding support so I’m booked in for my first one on the 7th of ...

Baby does poo normal but there's quite a few tiny poos like a couple dots seems like it came out with a fart. It's very regular so I'm going through a thousand nappies! Anyone else?

She constantly has trapped wind and gets really upset with the pain.

Hi, my lo is 2 months old and since the last 2 days she has every morning or 2 times per day dirty nappy (like very loose and greenish) before she had maybe every 3 days and more solid. Lately she has a running nose and temperature 71-71.3 every evening. What could possible be? I didn’t change her formula lately, Sh...

Can anyone recommend some that fit a little toddler head and stay on please? 🤣 my daughter has some standard kids ones from M&S but they slip off so going anywhere when she’s wearing them takes a thousand stops of her fussing to put them back on 😆

How often does your 8/9mo poo now?

My MIL in critically ill in hospital (in a coma) there are signs soon that she could be waking up out of it. The road to recovery could be a long while, but I don't feel comfortable taking my daughter (3) to visit once she is in a ward. Just because I don't think it will be good for my daughter to see her like that...

I have baby’s 8 week vaccinations today, (even tho she’s only turned 7 weeks yesterday) for those who have already had them, how was baby with them? I’m gonna give her a bottle straight after and I’ve heard people recommend giving a bit of calpol just before but I’m supposed to be going to my uncles for a party in t...

How many times do we need to bathe a newborn ? Like how many times a week?

My LO was on Aptamil from brith until Saturday just gone so just over 7 weeks, we have changed him to kendamil due to him having really bad gas and being uncomfortable. He now is constantly pooping, near enough every nappy has some in , will this die down after he’s used to it or do I need to swap again ? Just a con...

Hello! My 2mo baby is super colicky and gassy. I've tried gripe water, holding her 15-20 minutes after eating, belly rubs and tummy massages. It seems like if she's awake she's crying and it's getting hard to handle. Any other tips?? I have heard I should cut out dairy as I exclusively breastfeed. Mammas who've done...

My son had his jabs done yesterday and we were told to give Calpol as one of the vaccines would all but certainly give him a fever anyway. We gave two doses so far and he is due a bath tomorrow. What if he is still groggy by then ? When should a bath not be given

Advice on how to get my 11.5 month old daughter to stop playing in the dog bowls? She is constantly giving toys a “bath” or splashing in it.

Hi, should a baby burp after every feed? I find I cannot get my baby to burp after every feed and frightened when I put him down back to sleep, he will be sick everywhere.

The last time my baby pooped was last Wednesday. He is exclusively breast-fed, but this is the longest he’s gone without pooping. He is straining and arching his back quite often passing gas, but no poop. He’s very fussy. I gave him prune juice diluted with water yesterday. Not sure what else to do, at what point do...

Yesterday my 3yo discovered how to unbuckle himself in the car seat. Now he can do it easily in just a few seconds, both buckle and chest clip. Is there a product out there that prevents this? Has anyone else experienced this? What has worked? Please help!
