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...

I bought a doubled sided play mat for my girl not too long ago and its falling apart already (I guess what I get for trying to save money and buy a cheaper one😅) anyways, what kind of playmats do yall recommend? Most every review I’ve seen on Amazon are stating the same issues I’m having with this one

How are you all bathing your one month old? Can we use baby lotion and shampoo now ? My LO is 5 weeks old and I was wondering if I can start using baby body wash.

My little boy constantly has his fingers in his mouth, recently he's been spitting up lots and being sick but almost like clear water. Is anyone else's little ones doing this? I wonder if it's from saliva?

My baby is very constipated and poops once every few days. He gets very irritated and cry’s a lot at nights. Does anyone have any suggestions. I’ve tried massages, warm baths, feet massage and bicycles. Thanks

Did any of your babies experience colic/gas? My baby started getting super fussy around 5 weeks and it has peeked at 9 weeks..it’s soooo bad and I’m doing gas drops, cutting dairy and other gassy foods out of my diet, going to the chiropractor and nothing has helped yet. I know it can take 2-3 weeks after changing ...

Little boy had his tongue tie done this morning and all he has done is sob! He’s 7 weeks old and I just feel so hopeless I’m on the verge of crying with him 😭😭😭😭

I have my health visitor appointment tomorrow to come over and talk to me and visit the house do I have anything to worry about

These days my baby wakes up screaming and crying and arching her back. She's been struggling with colic and reflux symptoms for a long time. What have you tried to help these? Always breaks my heart to see baby crying in pain.

Anyone else’s baby been diagnosed with GER reflux? Is so what were your babies symptoms. My baby vomits after every feed mostly spit ups but also projectile vomiting at times too. I don’t know if to be concerned or not. She is combo fed breast milk and formula, for every 5 feeds of breast milk she’ll have 2 formula...

I have tried everything, taking him to a kids hairdressers where he sits in a toy car, tried taking him to his dads barber and watching his dad have a hair cut, iv tried at home, nanny’s tried.

I thought breastfed babies didn’t need to be burped much but my 3week old really struggles with gas and it’s so hard to burp her! The latch is perfect according to midwives even though she makes clicking sounds inside her mouth while drinking. We don’t use bottles. She also drinks fast and sometimes blows out milk ...

My girl is 18 weeks and due her 16 week injections tomorrow so we are already slightly behind schedule. However she is very bunged up, unhappy and teething right now, part of me wants to cancel them. I’m not sure if this will be a problem though if she has them late? Did anyone else have them late?

My LB is 3 weeks old, he will go a couple of days without pooing which I know is normal in newborns but when he’s not been his tummy gets so bloated and he screams and cries straining trying to poo. We’ve tried tummy massages and bicycle legs and this never helps. When he does poo there’s a lot of it and it’s quite ...
