Kissing baby

My baby is 8 weeks old. We just bumped into our neighbours and one of them kissed him on his cheek and I am FUMING but it happened so quickly we couldn’t do anything to stop it 😩 He has just had his 8 week jabs thankfully but obviously these are only his first set and don’t offer full protection.

Diarrhoea

My lo has had diarrhoea since Thursday and although she is drinking her bottles and water she just isn’t weeing frequently at all. Only seems to wee when she does a poo. Has anyone else experienced this? I took her to see a dr yesterday and they weren’t concerned but I’m getting worried.

Reflux?

Just this past week my 5 week old is being sick after every feed. Is this reflux? Does it just randomly develop? Sometimes it’s a little, sometimes it’s a lot. She is going through so many clothes. She also has a rash/spots that flare up after she feeds. She is EBF.

4 week old constipated

Hey girls, My little boy is 4 weeks today and he’s constipated, he is formula fed. Is there anything we can do to help? We’ve done bicycle legs etc so far but no sign yet. He is currently on 4oz, if I done 5oz of water but still kept to 4oz of formula can I do this so he’s getting some extra water to help him?

Hair cuts???

What haircut are your little girls having? I cut my daughter’s hair and it’s all one length. It’s currently around shoulder blade length. Thinking of shaping it around her face a little bit or maybe a very soft fringe.

Bad gas/ farts

Baby is 5 months now and his gas is getting so worse! He farts loud all day and then it gets even worse at night, to the point where it wakes him up screaming in pain. The discomfort stops at soon as he passes the gas. We’ve tried everything; also on a diary free diet for possible intolerance. Any advise?
