For example: my husband just dropped a plate that had half of the dinner made on it and got so mad.. I personally was like it’s ok.. it’s an accident I can remake it.. and he just continued being extra pissy an...

2 days and no poo 😬

My LG is 12 weeks and hasn't been for a poo since Wednesday evening and that was...well let's say she needed a bath afterwards 😅 she's breastfed with 2 bottles of EBM a day (5oz/4oz) and been a lot hungrier the last few days.

Flying?

Hiii so my bf lost his DL and has a flight on the 18th. Can he use his ID instead? Is it still valid since he has his license now? If I’m remembering correctly when I was younger they voided my permit of course but I think they told me my ID isn’t valid anymore . Not 100% positive or can we use paper ID to fly?

13 month old really bloated

We’ve all just had norovirus so we’ve not been well. My little one is fine now apart from a really bloated belly which seems to be causing him some pain. Is there anything I can give him to help? Would infacol or gripe water help? It seems to just be gas as he’s had plenty of dirty nappies

Crying when pooing

In the last week, when my son does a poo he starts getting upset (loud crying). He can be settled quickly once he’s finished. He’s on 3 meals a day and he has gone up to 3 days without a bowel movement but lately he’s been going regularly but still crying. Is anyone else experiencing this? Any advice? Thanks mamas x
