Baby poo

Hey, I just wondered how normal it was that my 8 week old poop is often green and watery? With my other babies their poo was more curry coloured 😅 i have googled (as you do) and from what I can tell it could be a reaction to something I am eating, but as long as it's not bloody or black i shouldn't worry too…

Newborn poop

I know breastfed babies can go days without pooping and babies her age cluster feed but I’m pretty sure my little girl isn’t getting full because she’s not pooping. She eats for 30-40 minutes and then death screams like she’s still starving. I know I make enough because I have replaced latching with pumping and I’m ...

Blood in nappy

Hi my baby is 11 weeks, has had blood in his nappy for 8 weeks constantly. Hospital advised to cut CMP out of my diet. I’ve cut it now for three weeks and there’s still blood. He’s on a waiting list for paediatrics but it could be up to 32 weeks wait. Anyone else had this issue?

We only have a shower, no bath

We're currently using a baby bath which sits in the floor of our shower, but once our baby outgrows that and it's no longer suitable, not really sure what to do! I know some children get used to showering from a very early age but not sure how to go about this. If you have just a shower, what did you do? 🙂

Don’t know what to do for the best?

So my girl is 6 weeks. She has really bad reflux on normal formula. Will scream in pain for a good hour after a feed and bring up milk quite a few times. She has been on anti-reflux milk which solved this issue but made her massively constipated. She was given laxatives to help with this but she was then having 10+ ...
