1 year jabs 😭

My little babe had his 1 year jabs today, I won’t lie it was traumatic 😭 they’re so much more knowing at this age it was awful! He’s never really been affected by his jabs before but this time they’ve really knocked him about. Has anyone else found this?

3mo spit up anxiety

My baby is 3 months old but after every feed he seems to spit up - it doesn’t matter if he’s been upright for 5 mins/20mins/1 hour he will spit up without fail. Whenever I’ve mentioned this to health visitor/medical professionals they say that aslong as he is still gaining weight and not unhappy when he spits up it’...

Squirming and wincing after feeds

My LO always seems to tense up and squirm after feeding (formula fed). I'm sensing he's uncomfortable and it's most likely silent reflux or gas but wondered if anyone else is experiencing this too? He's 5w

Nutramigen

My son has a suspected cows milk allergy (eczema rash, super gassy and awful smelling farts, constipated and bad tummy ache/stiffning during after feed). He’s now been on Nutramigen for a week and I don’t feel it’s helping. He now also has mucous poo (didn’t have this before), still stiffens and seems in pain and al...

Suddenly hates the bath

My almost 1 year old (tomorrow! 🎂🎉) suddenly hates the bath. She used to LOVE it only cry when I took her out! And about 10 days ago she started screaming and crying like she’s getting into her car seat while getting into the tub and during the whole bath. I don’t think the water temperature or toys have changed.…

Little Rant

I’m getting slightly frustrated with MIL, she knows she isn’t supposed to kiss my baby and for the most part she’ll kiss his hat or mittens. But there are far too many instances where she will kiss his head or cheek and then apologise so nonchalantly afterwards like “sorry I know I shouldn’t kiss him but I could hel...

Advice on Tdap vaccine

Hey mamas! I’m currently pregnant and living in Quebec, Canada. At my appointment today, my nurse was really encouraging me to get the whooping cough (Tdap) vaccine. She said it’s highly recommended during pregnancy (even though it’s not mandatory). I told her I needed time to think about it because I’m hesitant abo...

Haircut

Hey mamas can you throw suggestions on what I can do to help my 3 year old come over the fear of clippers? It’s impossible to cut his hair, he’s hysterical it’s heartbreaking so I don’t get it out it takes he had night terrors for nights after and I just don’t wanna put him through that x

Reaction

I might be delusional (which is highly likely after dealing with CMPA for the last 5months), but when weaning can someone explain to me how a bad nappy (looser/colour change/diarrhoea/mucus etc) means that food is a fail? I’m genuinely confused, because we are giving our babies something they have never eaten befor...

Any moms here chop their hair off after kids?? 😂 Do you regret it?

I used to have a short shoulder length cut and decided to grow it out (which took nearly 3 years) but now I’m ready to go short again. I don’t want to regret it, but I never have time to style my hair as it is with a toddler. It’s so long and thick and usually just gets thrown back in a bun/clip. Help!!!

Almost 1 year old constipated from whole milk

Is there anything I should add to her milk to help? I tried using a suppository, but nothing else has helped. I need something natural or something I can buy and add to the milk.

Soft play with good baby area

I have an active 10 nearly 11 month old and really think she would like soft play now but concerned she would be too small. I know some have baby areas but some don’t or are very tiny often with older kids in it. Has anyone used soft play for this age or can recommend one that might be good with a decent baby area. ...

Does anyone else think their babies poo smells good?💩

I know it's obviously poo but you know that good fart smell, is it some maternal instinct that your babies poo smells good or am I weird?
