Baby hasn’t pooped for 2.5 days should I worry?

She’s 13 weeks and has suddenly gone from 3 x a day to once and then now it’s 2.5 days. Is this normal? She seems happy in herself otherwise!

2’nd time Mom

Are you planning to send your first born to daycare after new baby is born? My doctor said they would bring diseases home so dont send daycare for first few weeks. But if I keep him home ,I need to give all attention to him.

Straining baby

Does anyone else’s baby seem to strain and go red in face when they’re trying to poo? We took my LO to drs and they say it’s normal for his age (he’s 2 weeks 4 days) but he seems so uncomfortable! He’s also started spitting up more just recently it’s been so hard to settle him last couple days 😭

Pushed the first tiny bit into the mouth, he made some sort of a choking sound (he hates taking Calpol), became quiet, all soft, eyes not moving, him not moving…. I freak...

Vomiting at night and touching ears

Hi mums. Just wondering if your babies may vomit all of a sudden at night. This happens to my girl sometimes, maybe once or twice a month. She has CMPA however I changed my diet(she's EBF) so don't think is because of this. Possibly reflux? Also, when she's tired, she touches her both ears very aggressively. Is thi...

Is this normal?! Round belly..

Is this normal?! I’m a FTM and my baby is 2 weeks old. After his feed today when I went to change him I noticed his belly is extremely round and hard when he tenses up. He has been feeding and pooping normally. I’m very worried.

Baby cries with soap

Hi! I have a 3 months old baby and he cries every time we apply soap during bath. First we thought it might be too cold, so we started mixing some drops in the water and still cries. We tried with Johnson and Johnson and aveeno. Anyone experienced this?

Inconsolable crying when bathing

Our first born didn't particularly like bathing either but my 8 week old goes absolutely mad when bathing. Crying so badly, super tense, even though we try to make it as calm as possible, warm environment etc. I'm at my wit's end, she needs a bath at least once a week but feels like at this rate she will never get u...
