Toddler poop

My son is 2 years old. He eats our normal family meals, eats a lot, doesn't drink milk but lots of water. My thought is that his poop should be similar to mine since we eat the same food. But his poops still look like he's on purees. Very soft and mushy, squishing out of the nappy,... I have no idea being a first ti...

Hair meltdown

Hiya, my wee guy has never liked having his haircut or brushed. He has had 6 haircuts in his life and each time he has had a complete meltdown, pretty much being restrained in the hairdressers chair just to get it done.

Spit up

My 6 week old spits up so much. I know spit up is very common in newborns but I feel like his spitting up is way more than normal. He spits up multiple times, larger amounts, after every single bottle. I plan to speak to his pediatrician at his next appt in two weeks about possible acid reflux or lactose intolerance...

Has anyone else had issues with constipation with their little one? I’ve tried the laxatives he’s had a scan came back clear and still no help. He can hold his stool in for days and days sometimes up to a week! Has anyone’s baby had the same thing ?

How important is it to burp your newborn?

I have a 7 week old and he’s not a very big burper. He’s MOSTLY breastfed, but takes 1 bottle of formula in the evening. He sleeps about 2.5 hour stretches, at the most at night. Sometimes I suspect that he would sleep longer if he wasn’t gassy. And he wouldn’t be gassy if he’d burp more.
