Is the second set of jabs as bad as the first?

My two month old son has a severe reflux. I’m just looking for tips or positive stories from other mums. I feel like my baby cannot enjoy life. He is restless. I feed him combination breastmilk and formula (goat milk from Kendamil). He is drinking very fast, even though I changed his bottles. he spits and vomits bot...

We started weaning our babe on 16th Feb. He was pretty regular and then boom. Poor boy hasn't done a poo since Friday lunchtime! That's over 3 days now. I gave him some Prune puree for lunch today with his usual water. Still nothing. Is this happening for anyone else? We've done all the usual bicycle legs, warm bath...

Does anyone have any playpen suggestions for a small flat? Ideally something that can easily be tidied away. Thank you!

She is mostly a bottle fed baby. Through the day I feed her pumped milk. Through night it’s formula. I’m exclusively pumping. She is not burping most of the time and it’s been hard to burp her since day one. But she had been excreting every day by then. For the past 3 weeks she has been pooping once in 2 days and it...

Lately, when it’s time for him to drink his milk, he will drink it and then start crying and spitting it up like he’s choking. It’s become hard to feed him now. Has anyone ever experienced this or experiencing this right now? What could it be?

What are good brands shoes for my son walk in ?

So this may be a long one to try and explain everything… My 2 month old daughter failed her hearing test multiple times since she was born, but the first hearing test they found fluid in her ears, which they said is very common. She then came home and had another hearing test done, the machine refered , but was told...

I’ve always had an issue with my MIL kissing my baby boy as she just smothers him and it makes me uneasy anyway but I let it slide. However today at lunch she was kissing him all over again and then planted a fat one lip to lip with him! I lost it 😩 I told her not to kiss him on the lips and she then asked why, I…

Hey so my baby is 9 weeks and from this morning he is crying a lot! Usually he cries or because he is hungry or because he needs to poop/wind. We woke up at 7 with a big feeding and a very big poop the all clothes were dirty 😅, he looks happy and smiling while I am changing him then start crying I think maybe he…

What is everyone’s opinion on screen time? I try to minimize screen time for my baby. But if I need to take a shower, I’m not below popping a video or something on the TV so he doesn’t cry.

What age did you guys start giving water and how much of it? Also- since introducing purées poor baby has had hard balls of poop and doesn’t go as frequently :( Anyone recommend anything to help with this?

We’ve had the dreaded 8 weeks vaccines this morning and I just wanted to know other people’s experiences. It’s been 3 hours and the calpol has kept his temp normal, he’s fine on his food and I’ve just changed a nice wet nappy. He’s just a bit more sleepy than usual right now. Is he likely over the worst or did it hi...

I am dreading my little girls immunisations tomorrow 😢 how did everyone find it when their little ones got theirs?

I'm hearing of many cases in and around London

Weird question but how much poo should my LO be passing? She does small sausage poos and sometimes they are soft is that normal?

Has anyone’s LO randomly after loving the bath become terrified and hating going in the bath? My son used to love the bath but now everytime bath time ie a battle and he seems terrified. Nothing happened to trigger it which I don’t get. He was so upset he threw up last night. Any suggestions or tips? I guess I will ...

First of all this was such a hard watch and I can not stop thinking about that poor poor little boy. My question is: Do you agree with the social workers having their cases dropped? A: No, they should have been held accountable B: Yes, it wasn’t their fault C: Not seen it

How often do you trim your baby's nails? I let my 4 (almost 5) month old's get too long, and he scratched up his nose pretty badly today. It made me so sad, so I'm nursing him to sleep, because that seems to be the only way I can trim his nails well. (I've been pumping/bottle feeding a lot lately.) How do you do it...

Anyone else have a very gassy newborn? My LG is just over 3 weeks now. She’s fine in the early part of the night but as soon as 4/5am comes she’s full of gas. We get constant squirming and grunting. I’m doing bicycle legs and then pushing her legs up to her stomach and the farts coming out are unreal 🤣🤣 My LB…
