My baby is going to be 12 weeks. Just until recently she started to not poop everyday. Which I know is normal for EBF babes. But when she does poop it is a HUGE liquidy blowout. It is coming out every side of the diaper. Is this normal? I’m not concerned about the diaper size bc the amount of poop is just. ALOT.

My LO is 8 weeks old and formula fed. Since birth she has had pretty regular bowel movements typically going every other day. She never has a problem with winding nor has she had any problems with passing gas since adjusting to milk after birth. …but we’re on day 3 or 4 of not pooping now and I’m starting to get a ...

My 3 month old had her vaccinations today. Gave her 2.5ml calpol but can’t remember if I shook it, let alone for the 10 seconds it says it needs to be shaken for 😫 am I overthinking this?! Will she be ok??

Has anyone else found their baby/toddler having constipation when switching to cows milk? My son was due April 5th and born March 24th, he really struggled for two days crying in pain so gave him some luctalose I think it’s called and it helped him yesterday to finally unblock himself, doctors have booked an appoint...

Ok mamas I need help! My LO has been on formula and cows milk mixed together to help him ease in to it. But even since we introduced him to it, he has been severely constipated to the point he is in agony! The poo is LITERALLY ROCK HARD and he screams when pushing it out. Today I had to help him with my finger in it...

I’m after some advice/help/support. Please try to stay away from judgment/criticism. My 3 year old boy is suffering terribly from constipation and it has been going on for weeks now, on and off. The first time he had it he managed to pass his poo after a couple days but the times between him doing a poo are gettin...

If you have a toddler with wide feet, what trainers are you buying for them? My little boy is usually in H width at Clarks but the options are so limited. I want to get him some nice trainers, but am struggling to find something wide enough. Any recommendations would be appreciated!

Hello everyone! If any of you haven't vaccinated your child, or have vaccinated but not fully, and know a lot about it, I would love to talk and discuss. I’ve been reading a lot about vaccines lately and would prefer not to do everything on the list. Please reach out!

Hi moms My 10 months old got gastro. He used to be a very healthy boy and he liked to eat specially solid. But now, he lost his appetite not even keen to have milk. Anyone has any experience? Hints?

I’m concerned because my almost three month old is pooping once every couple of days. I read on google that it’s completely normal because breast milk is easily digestible leaving minimal waste but I’m unsure because most people in the hospital said she should have multiple poopy diapers. In the hospital she didn’t ...

The past 2 nights my baby has struggled with bad nights sleep, loads of leg slamming etc. The ONLY link I can make which has been different to past days is that he has had a bottle of the ready made liquid Aptamil as we’ve been on the road and it’s been easier. When I think back to previous bad nights sleeps I think...

FTM. My little boy is 8 weeks (born at 37). He is formula fed on Hipp organic (started on aptamil but changed around 3 weeks). On both formulas, he has terrible issues with gas, and the HV put his symptoms down to that and ongoing colic. I've tried comfort milk, but he doesn't take it well at all. His awake periods...

My son rolled off the bed today. I am devastated. Our bed is probably just over half a metre high. The bedside drawer was open, but I don’t believe he hit it on the way down otherwise he would be much worse off. But I do think he went to lift his head up and donked it in the bedside drawer. So he has a red line on h...

Anyone else’s baby really farty?? My little boy is 2 weeks and he seems to fart a lot. He has a moan and a squirm before snd then farts and is okay. He is breastfed with some bottles of expressed milk 💨💨💨

I have a 4 months and half boy ( breastfeed, expressed and bottle and in the last couple days i tried some formula but he hates it ) and since he was born he struggled with “colic” also he had a posterior tongue tie which the midwife told me is ok as he have good tongue function. However he was struggling latching a...

I can't decide if this is normal or not. For context, I've met him several times and he's always been nothing but helpful. Then one day he gave me his number and said I could book in with him directly next time. I also wasn't sure if he just meant to use it on that one occasion or whether he was okay with me contact...

I was giving my four month old a bath, and I had the water too high and almost at her shoulders, but she was laying in her own tub that’s tilted inside ours, so her chest and front of her shoulders were exposed. As I’m cleaning her neck I turn away from her face for a second and I realize she’s been licking some of ...

How often is your ebf August baby spitting up after feeds? My son had decreased the frequency and amount, but recently it’s getting quite often again?

My little one is 6 weeks old and the last couple of days she has started to spit up more we haven’t changed her formula or the amount we are giving her. I’ve just changed her nappy and her bowel movement is loose but it’s the first one she has had. Do you think it’s something to be concerned about or just cause she ...

4 days old tomorrow he hasn’t yet lost his cord but can I bath him? Or do I wait? Thank you xxx
