I know this is probably a silly question and people will think I’m stupid.. please no hate. But I’m so nervous about my little boy having his jabs, and if I’m honest i had no jabs when pregnant because i am always scared about reactions etc. My parents got me jabbed when i was a baby, but i just wondered if everyone...

I won’t post a pic cause it’s not my baby but the baby I’m watching had a diaper that I changed and it was bright green and slimy like snot almost.

I have a 4 week and I am too scared to take him anywhere other than on walks in unbusy areas and our house. Very scared of germs and waiting for his vaccines. When did everyone else take their LO out and about?

My baby just turned 8 weeks yesterday and he cries constantly and has since birth. I’m so sad, I feel like such a bad mom not being able to help him. He’s ebf but I have tried goat milk formula and nutramigen to see if maybe he has a dairy issue. I’ve also tried cutting dairy, caffeine, gluten out of my diet to see ...

Silly question from an anxious FTM how do I tell the difference between a a normal amount of baby sick, and reflux? Past few days my 3 week old has started to be more fussy after feeds and quite burpy/sicky. I don’t know what a normal amount of sick is, and whether his cries of discomfort are normal, or could be ref...

I’ve tried to google what these people do but can’t find much. My due date is the 11th nov and they want me to go on a video call that day. Has anyone else had a video call?

Breastfed baby is sick when lying down after feeds, gags, get hiccups if put on back after feeds, cry’s a little after feeds but she doesn’t burp much, coughs after feeds and sometimes during due to swallowing too much milk, she sounds little congested, can hear the milk hitting her stomach sometimes and gulps the m...

Anyone else’s toddler ever had pale discolored poop? I’m almost certain it’s the whole milk that has my daughter constipated and pooping in white. Would love to hear from other moms who have been through the same thing.

How did y’all know when it was time to go inpatient?

Does anyone have any experience with their babies getting Roseola?

Stress ball dog, my sons bitten into it and may have swallowed a bit it looks almost like salt , do I need to go into panic mode?!?!?

Hi guys! I’ve been diagnosed with HG at 8 weeks pregnant and was in hospital for a week but is now under control with medications, I’m wondering if anyone has had experience with the medication Ondanzetron? The hospital gave it to me to take home and it has been really helping my sickness but they forgot to mention...

What is everyone going for? I have seen the standalone ones where you put water in or the angelcare ones which are supports that go into the bath and no idea which to go for!

When googling my 3 months old poo I discovered it’s nothing to worry about.

Just wanted to know if this is normal and anyone else has had this issue? I ...
