Some nappies of my newborn had red mucus, not a lot. Took him to GP, they said he has anal fissure from too much bowel movements. And that I breastfeed him toooften (every 2 hours mostly, on demand). GP said to feed him every 3 to give time for the fissure to heal. Anyone had experience with such nappies before? An...

My little girl is getting her posterior tongue tie done tomorrow and I was wondering if anyone else has had this done and if you could share your experiences and whether it helped what a difference it made etc. thanks

Calpol - should I wake them to give them their second dose of calpol? No fever, but nurse said we should keep on top anyway

My 3month old, cries every time I sit her up to burp her after a bottle, I know this could be due to reflux but is there any other reasons this might be happening? It also sounds like she is in lots of pain :(

Seeing a lot of people saying their babies poos are really runny and they’re worrying. My little girl is 6 weeks today and all of her poos are super runny? They always have been just pure liquid and bubbly when they come out (I think from trapped gas)… are they not meant to be like that? I just thought because they ...

Long post sorry in advance! My little boy is 4 weeks old 1 month exactly yesterday. 2 weeks ago GP prescribed us gaviscon for reflux it helped at first but now his symptoms are so much worse. Sick after feeding, screaming in between feeds and fussing at the bottle, mucus in stools, arching his back and going stiff...

Hello, I’m not a very creative person so hoping for some suggestions for sensory play at home. I was thinking play dough with shapes. I’ve used dried pasta but she isn’t very keen. Any ideas for cheap things for my LO to do with me? TIA x

My 14 month poos are dark green in colour and tar like, sooo thick with no shape to it. It’s not diet as he’s eating same things always has. Any ideas? So hard to wipe off!

My LO has an eyelash in her eye! It doesn’t seem to be bothering her, any way I can take it out without infecting the area?

I don't mean the newborn check, I mean ongoing appointments, like for a toddler

Has anyone solved their baby’s infrequent poos? The GP said it’s somewhat normal that my baby only goes poo every 4-5 days but ERIC says otherwise and suggests it can cause issues further down the line. Today my baby also has quite firm poo and was in bad pain trying to get it out. Normally it’s a large amount of ve...

Hi ladies can you recommend good bath time products for a 8 week old baby?

Anyone else’s toddler pooping In the bath? Mines just started doing it and we don’t know why?

I had a call from the health visitor today (31 plus 1) wanting to visit next week. I didn’t realise anyone would come until baby is here, does anyone know the point of her visit or has had this?

Anyone Else had this. My little girl has been on cows milk from start of September just before she turned one on advice from health visitor when she had her 10 month check. Ever since then she’s struggling with constipation to the point she’s inconsolable crying and she’s making herself bleed. It’s been 6/7 weeks...

Hi all, My baby is 3 months old today and she’s not pooped in 2 days, is this normal? I EBF. She usually goes everyday so just wondering if she’s potentially constipated and what is best to help her?

Hi everyone! I’ve had a message this morning to tell me I have a health visitor appointment in a month (LO will be 11 months) Just wondering what exactly they ask, what milestones the baby has reached etc. thank you❤️

So apparently it’s a genetic mutation?

We have been on neocate for a few months now and lbs bowel movements seem to be getting worse it will seem like he’s done a massive amount and then there will literally be a tiny hard amount and it’s stuck and he’s struggling to pass. We used to do the p fruits and ready brek etc no bananas etc not making any differ...

Is anyone who’s breastfeeding suffering bad constipation😩 I usually poo’d every day at least once with no issues but since having baby every time I need to poo has reduced to once every couple of days and it’s always so hard it actually hurts and makes me bleed 😭 is this normal? I do drink a lot of water in a day!…
