Can anyone recommend who I should go and see or what sort of treatment I should get for lower back pain? I do the yoga stretches etc but it’s still so painful and I’m in tears. I don’t want to be in this much daily pain until the end of June 😭 Any help or recommendations would be so greatly appreciated. Thanks in…

My nephew has had chickenpox last week, his little sister doesn't have it yet but is very likely to get it. I am 36 weeks pregnant and I am having a little get together for my two year old.

Wondering if this is normal and whether I should feel bad for not changing the water? I wash his face and hair first really quickly before he starts but he will, without fail, pee every time. The bath we have is quite heavy and is not practical for me to change the water during the bath without removing him and maki...

We haven’t bathed little girl yet mainly because we’re not sure when to start. We make sure she’s clean with wipes and some water on cotton balls every so often Umbilical cord has already gone

We’ve had some random constipation in the last few days and I have no idea why! We haven’t started weaning as he isn’t ready yet, nothing had changed in milk amount and he is fine on himself. Anyone been the same? I was changing him yesterday and he was straining so hard, a firm-ish lump came out and then loads of...

My little girl is coming up for 3 weeks old and the past few days she’s sicked up a lot after a feed - it’s only once a day and usually the same time of day that she does it, but she brings up quite a lot.

If before was more like mustard-like and very loose now it was more greenish and n...

I’ve been exclusively breastfeeding my 2 week old baby and she’s had me up all night recently trying to poo. I’m sure that’s what it is as she gets so much relief when she finally poos. I was told that breastfed babies are rarely constipated so what am I doing wrong?! She’s so uncomfortable and she’s in so much pain...
