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...

So cross!

16 week jabs yesterday and the nurse really stabbed it in his leg and I was instantly pissed off. It even bounced back and she just stabbed it in. As a result his leg is super swollen and red and if I even touch it lightly, he screams!! At what point do I get it checked? Heā€™s never had a reaction to jabs or needles ...

Anyoneā€™s baby canā€™t digest formula (not allergy)?

Hey, my baby is usually breastfed and if we try to give him formula after the next breastfeed he throws up a lot until thereā€™s only bile left. Docs donā€™t reckon itā€™s allergy although weā€™re not certain but just wondering if anyone else has heard or experienced this?

Anti K! (The KELL Gene)

So my partner has a cell in his blood call "KELL". At my first midwife appointment they did my bloods and results came back that my body was producing "anti k" which fights against the KELL gene. It's really rare and I'm hoping someone on here has been through or is going through the same thing.
