I'm at my wits end with my baby's reflux!!!! He's just turned 3 months on the 22nd. He's on half tablet of omeprazole and on anti reflux Aptamil formula. He's burped during the feed and after the feed. I make sure he drinks his bottle in an upright position. He had better days than others but he was doing so well r...

Hello! I have been trouble getting my two week old to burp at all after feeds. I’ve tried every position I see online and no luck. She’s in pain with gas and I can’t seem to get it out for her. Any advice? I’ve tried over the shoulder, on my knee, football style, patting, rubbing, bouncing, walking around, moving he...

has anyone had their baby’s hair cut? my little boy has had a lot of hair since birth, i dont really want to cut it but it does go in his eyes and ears a lot now and i wonder if it irritates him. i could get it trimmed but i want him to still look like a baby! photo of my cheeky boy for reference 😋

I think my baby girl is gassy what could do to help her she was eating 2 ounces with 4 ounce water for a bit I thought maybe cause she’s backed up. Brough her down to one scoop 2 ounce of water. Don’t know if it was to much for her she’s backed up ?! Any advice

Worse than newborn days. My baby is pooing like 6 times a day and once overnight as well 😭 So sick of dirty nappies especially when its a fight now. They are ‘normal’ so its not even constipation or illness. Shes not even eating that much extra food I dont think??

Hi, just wondering when does the 12 month review take place? Baby is 1 next week and I read online this is normally between 9-12 months but haven’t heard anything

In my last pregnancy in 2022, a health visitor came to visit my home to talk about safe sleep etc but I haven’t received a letter for a visit this time. Does anyone know if they still do this? I’m just a bit concerned as I’m 33 weeks and I’ve not had a letter yet. Has anyone else had one? 😯

My LO has constantly had a top lip blister since he was born. It would fall off normally and come back but for the last few weeks he's had the same one. He's still feeding ok but is that normal?

Doesnt happen all the time but my little one is 8 weeks and occasionally will make a chewing face in his sleep then he almost goes to gag and makes a face almost from a bad taste. Could this be silent reflux? He doesn't ever spit up really but seems fairly wriggly and often uncomfortable after feeds.

My baby seems to be in so much pain and nothing seems to be helping him at the minute? Any tips please

I had three second degree tears, and it’s been 5 days now and I can’t bring myself to look there 😭😭 I just kind of what to see it in it’s healed state in case the sight scars me for life (no pun intended 😂)

How long are you guys waiting to give your baby their first bath?

All of a sudden my 8 week old has started sleeping a lot less is wingy after food even though he definitely has enough and always offer more food …. But doesn’t stop crying or settle easily at all he’s also a lot gassier , could this be colic ? If so what are you using for 2 months old to help with colic pains?

My 2 week old in the last few days has started bringing up abit of milk/sick 5 minutes or so after a feed. It’s not masses, and other than a few minutes of fussing before he throws up he’s a very happy and content baby. Other than sitting him up after feeding, and trying to slow his feeds, is there anything I can do...

my baby is 12 weeks old and every night after bath time for some reason i start worrying and feeling like im a bad mum and that im not doing a good job , does anyone else do the same?

My boy hasn’t pooped since Wednesday. It’s very rare that he gets constipated. In fact only his second time and the first only lasted 24 hours. He is really in a lot of pain. Screaming, bright red in the face. His farts smell like literally rotting eggs. I’ve tried absolutely everything and nothing is working and I’...

So I don’t give my toddler the Covid or flu vaccine. I don’t get the flu vaccine for myself and I got the Covid once when I was mandated for my job in the medical field. My kids are mandated to have vaccines for daycare but the flu and Covid are not Mandatory. The pediatricians office has had me sign refusal paper...

It seems to be one thing after another, My 11 month old lg is making herself sick when she eats. There's nothing wrong with her except teething. But it seems she puts it on her tongue and then does a gag reflex making herself sick. It's not with everything, she eats a yoghurt and fruit fine but other types of food...

My baby has always had reflux and is on anti reflux milk which has helped a lot. She barely gets sick anymore except from what the average baby does from time to time. She’s always held up for 20 minutes after her last bottle before bed and during the day she is either held up, put in her bouncy chair or pram after ...

Hi mummy’s! So my LG is 7 months old and on Thursday night I woke up and she was choking on her sick (very traumatising and she was completely fine once I sat her up and patted her back) and she was sick a couple of times after. Friday she had 2 diarrhoea (water) nappies and hasn’t been ‘sick’ more like refluxy spi...
