Baby allergies

Waiting for an allergy test to be done still, but could this be a reaction/rash from an allergy? I noticed it when my little one tried a new flavour of smoothie (recommended by speech & language due to swallowing concerns). Has anyone else's baby had a food allergy reaction similar? I know it can't be HFM as it's on...

Can anyone recommend a good paediatrician?

My bubba is 7 weeks old and since he’s been 2 weeks old he’s had diarrhoea then constipation, then diarrhoea again…I ve asked my GP to be referred to a paediatrician and they refused, so I m looking to go private and get to the bottom of this. Surely it’s not a good thing for a newborn to go on for this long ?

Hair cut

My baby has a bit of hair but I don’t think it’s that bad. My husband makes jokes he’s taking him to the barber and wants to give a hair cut to clean it up a bit. Has anyone given their baby’s a little hair cut this little?
