My 7 week old has pooed in 2 days, I know it’s not a long time but all of his poos before that have been really hard and look like pebbles. You can really see that it hurts him when pushing it out. Even tho 2 days isn’t long I know it’s not normal for him and he’s really struggling. I’ve tried everything I can think...

Has anyone else purchased one of these? My little girl is 4 weeks and it says it’s suitable for newborns but I have to constantly keep her propped up or she slips down and goes chin to chest. Not sure if others having this issue or I’m just not using it right x

I have been doing every other day. Do you bathe/give your kid a shower every day or every other day? Why is everyone's preferred method?? No shame. I know every mom is different. I want to know your ways

I need some advice/reassurance 😩 My little one is 16 weeks old and has had reflux up until 2 weeks ago ( it just stopped ). She’s been super dribbly this week. Today she was “ sick “ twice in the space of about 20 mins but it was just clear thin liquid? Like dribble but lots of it coming out at once? Is this a…

Does anyone know if I need to go into my gp and book this or will they just send me a letter? I never had to book her 8 week ones or the ones that followed that

Hello, I am trying to get my 3 year old to drink more water. He’s on the spectrum and is weird about what he drinks/eats. He loves stuff like juice and milk, he will sometimes drink water but he prefers the other drinks instead. I’m also having trouble getting him off the bottle, he will drink out of a cup and water...

Hi just wondering about the 2 year review, my son turned two in October and I haven’t heard anything yet? Has anyone had theirs yet? Do they contact you? Or do I have to contact them? Thankyou. 🙂

My girl (18 months) literally ran face first into a wall🙈 I was next to her going to the bath & she just bolted where she was excited and misjudged the entrance to the bathroom and face planted the wall!! The bang was so loud & she fell back, when I picked her up I instantly thought it must have knocked her out it…

Booked baby’s first jabs. I’ve heard horror stories about them and I’m going on my own 😭 any tips?

I have an 8 month old who has recently started to deny any oral syringe or spoon with medication. She won’t take Calpol or anything. She’s been prescribed liquid antibiotics and laxatives but getting her to take them is a mission. She clenches her jaw shut and shakes her head and tries to fight it away with her whol...

Dose this look like a tongue tie? When my son was born my midwife mentioned it looked like he had one - none of the health professionals we seen seem interested in checking to see if it needs snipped … he’s one next month ☹️ TIA Not the best pictures as he don’t stay still long enough to take good pictures 😂😂

When my baby gags on purée it comes out his nose! Is this normal? He’s 6 months 😊

Have you had to use a suppository on baby? My baby is straining so much and it makes him so uncomfortable. No fruits have worked well. He has pooped but little amounts and very hard.

Just wanted to ask, if baby is on the right formula will they still have diarrhoea and gas which is extremely smelly (rotten eggs)?

Hey guys! I’m pretty sure my formula fed baby girl is constipated slightly. She’s passing poos but probably only 2/3 times a day and you can guarantee one is solid. She’s struggling to settle at night times and just seems generally uncomfortable during the day. We have been doing tummy massage and bicycle kicks bu...

Anyone with a ebf baby use Mylicon Gas drops for their baby? We’ve been going through the witching hour almost daily now and I’m wondering if it could help somewhat with her gas issues. I haven’t used it since my first baby 16 years ago (loved it then) but don’t know if it’s still as good or worth using?

We’ve been prescribed 2 lots of Mystan and it’s still not cleared up. He’s got it on his tongue and on the inner side of each cheek. Has anyone had this problem? I’m at a loss of what to do next. Help?!

My little girl had her 8 week jabs today, followed by the recommended calpol and has been asleep nearly all day. When she wakes she cries, she’s feeding a bit but still weeping. Anyone else going through this?

Has anyone had a home visit from the health visitor yet? If so what does it involve? Do they look upstairs?

Hi my daughter has her first injections this week just wanting to know what to expect after? I know all babies are different but just wanting to be prepared for anything lol TIA
