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...

Hi my little boy is 3 days old, we’re formula feeding using cow and gate and he’s just done a poo which doesn’t look right to me? Does anyone know what the lumps are?

I was giving my daughter a bath, she was sitting in the tub in another tub with water. Water comes up to her tummy. I was talking to my husband standing next to me and she lost her balance and went to the side and into the water. I got her in 2 seconds but the fact she even fell on my watch.

Is this normal in breastfed baby he’s 7 days old and he’s already passed mec and went to seedy yellow and noticed this today, some green

Does anyone also feel worried about newborn vaccines and has decided not to give them?

I see my toddler say his tummy is hurting almost every day and he presses his mid to upper belly area, and he soon does a poo and doesn’t mention it again. In the last 3 weeks his pops have been looser and more frequent. Nothing has changed with diet or otherwise but this is also when he started saying his tummy is ...

Hey, looking for advice please, my little one is 10 weeks tomorrow, for the last few weeks she’s only been having a poo once every other day occasionally one a day , now all of a sudden she is having 4-5 a day… is this normal? Could it be down to her 8 week jabs 2 weeks ago? Thanks very much

I’ve been dairy free for almost two months now. And have noticed a huge difference for my little boy. Anyhow for a split second today I forgot that I can’t be the human hoover that eats leftovers and has a bite of Greggs margarita pizza. I’m hoping it doesn’t flare my baby or irritate his stomach. He’s looking okay....

As above! And how old? And do you use soap? I keep seeing so much conflicting advice on this I’m intrigued. I’ll start, twice a week ish unless he’s had a big gross blow out😂 he’s 6 weeks. I’m just adding breast milk to the water atm then I massage coconut oil on after while he’s in his towel.

He's only properly taken to solids in the last couple of weeks, and is now consistently eating three meals a day. We've also cut out 90% of day time breastfeeds (now nighttime only). Our new challenge is constipation! Tiny hard little pellets which seem to give him stomach ache and hurt to pass. Anyone else having...

Anyone else little one going through the same thing. My little girl is almost three and is hating having her hair washed in the bath or shower and has been going on for a couple of weeks. She has gone from loving it to hating it but will happily get in the bath and play just not have her hair washed. Is this a phase?

Has anyone else noticed a difference in their baby’s poo after the 2nd set of vaccinations? My little girl is now pooing a lot more frequently and today noticed one that was green. Not sure if it’s normal ?

How often do you give your baby a bath?

My LO is 21 months and finally booked his jabs on Monday, just wanted to check is it bad? Also can I give him ibuprofen after vaccination?

I had my baby a little over 2 weeks ago and for the past week I’ve had SO much gas especially when I wake up in the morning it’s just so much air to release, and then twice in the last week randomly after eating something I always eat totally normal I’ve had mild diarrhea? (I’m not sick, nobody around me is sick, ...

My baby is 15 days old and is exclusively breast fed. I'm concerned that for the past week or so he's been having small amounts of poo when he farts several times a day. Is this normal or should I be concerned and take him to the GP? He's still doing proper poos and pees and seems fine in himself Thank you

He already passed mec. It was seedy yellow almost every feed then had one poo like this then back to seedy yellow. Is this normal exclusively breastmilk

I have a baby shower to go to today for a very close friend and my baby sitter said she’s sick and can’t watch my baby. I’m hesitant on bringing my baby to the baby shower bc of the recent news that there is a confirmed case of the measles in La. When I think about it wouldn’t it be relatively the same if not more r...

Anyone else super constipated no matter what you do or eat? The pains of trying to go literally feel like contractions!

Hey Mamas, anyone got any recommendations on what toys are good for an 8 month old? I feel like my lo has outgrown the toys she has and needs some new ones but I’m not sure what to get, thanks!
