My 5week old had been more fussy lately and I think it’s due to trapped gas and struggling to poop. He isn’t constipated though, he poops normal stools normal amounts a day he just has been straining and grunting/ crying more. He’s also been refusing to burp lately no matter what we do and i think that’s why he has ...

Hi! My 4month and 2 weeks old baby decided to go on a poop strike four days ago. She is exclusively breastfed, but today is the fifth day without a bowel movement, and I’m getting worried. She looks normal, happy, eating a lot as usual, and nothing seems to bother her. I’ve tried massages, warm baths, exercises, an...

My son is nearly 3 months old and he just had very clear liquid come from his mouth. Sometimes he gets the white sort of milky spit up, but this was more like clear liquid? Just wondering if anyone else has had experience of this? He did have a bottle about 30 minutes ago and then we laid him down for his nappy, so...

My son is almost 7 months and I’ve delayed 90% of his vaccines. Now his pediatric office says he has to get them or he can’t be a patient. What did you guys do? What’s your advice?(without shaming me) I genuinely am at a crossroads. I do not trust our government or big pharma and I want to homeschool my son. But als...

We're heading away on holiday to Italy in a few weeks with our 19 month old. At the moment we do bath time every night as part of our bedtime routine but I don't think we'll have access to a bath in our accommodation. We have tried him in the shower before and he hated it. Any suggestions please?

My 12 week old has expressed breast milk and has always struggled with trapped wind and passing poop regardless of how much we wind him. Between weeks 7-11 he seemed to turn a corner and was pooping 2-3 times a day but as soon as 11 weeks hit he’s hardly going once a day again and can be in so much pain to the poin...

Is it okay to go for a bath when baby is asleep in their crib? She’s 10 weeks and I’ll have the video monitor in the bathroom with me.

Please help me which prenatal gummies can I take without having to gag or wanna throw up. I can’t do pills either bc I just will gag and wanna throw it up and can’t swallow pills as much and pregnant makes it worse and harder for me to be able to swallow that 😭.

Seeing a lot of posts about the 9-12 month checks and questionnaires, I haven't heard from our health visitor yet do I need to contact them?

My 4 week old is struggling in pain when feeding it’s like she wants the milk but is fussing, kicking and moaning, and when winding she really is creating. We do pace feeding, sitting up for at least 20-30 mins after feeding and feeding upright. She is still gaining weight, eating well, sleeping well but has so many...

What are you doing/planning to do after your baby has out grown a moses basket? I have a moses basket in the living room that I pop my little girl in when I need to leave her for very short periods but not sure what to do now she's outgrown it. Thanks!

My little girl is a month old and she's always trumping and pulling her knees up sounding like shes in pain crying. I keep her upright for awhile but it always seems like she has trapped wind even after she burps and she constantly has hiccups and spits up after a feed. I've tried giving her infacol but because she'...

Anyone know of any good play areas or play cafè’s on Saturdays for under 1? Ideally not soft play as LO cannot walk / crawl yet!

Hi guys, I would like some advice from other mums in what they currently feed their babies/ any advice on anything that helps with constipation. My daughter is suffering a little atm as I’ve given her more food, changed her milk now from baby milk to whole milk. The reason I changed it in the first place is becaus...

My little girl has been constipated on and off since starting solids at 6 months. Her stools can be really firm/small and she strains a lot and sometimes cries in pain. All I’ve been advised to do is to give her lots of fruit and veg which I do, that breast milk is a natural laxative and just to wait while her bod...

Has anyone had their babies tongue tie cut and then they’ve really struggled to latch after that day.

Anyone else’s baby’s poop becoming a little more solid? They’re starting to look like actual turds lately 😭

Baby is 3 weeks old & we have recently changed from tommy tippy to mam bottles as the teat flow on tommy tippy was too much for her. She's currently on size 0 teat. Over last couple days she has started to cry whilst feeding? She suffers with trapped wind & have recently started giving her infacol. Any ideas why she...

My little one has such trouble pooping or passing gas that he screams about it, will keep himself awake over it. All the lovely push your brain to explode because you can do nothing other than try to hold a binky in his mouth while he screams through it. Pediatrician said oh it’s fine because his stools and diapers ...
