My little boy has been on Aptamil Pepti Syneo since August and just over the last week his nappies have been so loose and mucusy and green! When we were first on the milk his nappies went to what I thought was normal as in solid no mucus etc. I thought it was teething but the last tooth he has had has fully erupted ...

Does anyone’s baby spit up a lot after being fed/burped ? Every time my baby is fed(breast fed or bottle fed) and burped she tends to spit up a lot even after an hour after eating?

My almost 6 week old baby hasn’t pooed since Wednesday lunch time. She usually poos at least once everyday but usually 2/3/4 times a day so this is pretty unusual.

Was any one else’s babe poorly after the 12 month jabs? Everything I can see says might be poorly for a few hours? We had them done 4 days ago and she’s so so snotty and Chesty and coughing an insane amount: I’m just not sure if this is down to the jabs or if she has picked it up from somewhere?

My baby girl is 7 months and recently she’s been having some smelly breath 🥴 she’s been having solids since 6 months so I’m not sure if it’s that? But it’s a recent thing- I’ve also been to the doctors but they didn’t really help Anyone else been through this?

Hello! I'm a ftm to a 2 month old baby. Waited this long to see if her intense fussiness is just a newborn thing. But we're a couple months in and it's not getting any better despite all things on the usual checklist. I'm at my wit's end and feel so bad for my baby crying constantly. Can anyone recommend a paediatri...

Hiya, so my son is 11 weeks old EBF. He was very fussy when first born and had mucus in his poo so HV advised I cut dairy for 3 weeks. I then reintroduced and didn't notice much difference between the 2 periods. Still mucus poo etc. I have been eating dairy again for about 1 month now. In the last week or so he has ...
