I’m 33 weeks pregnant and received a letter a few weeks ago saying that a health visitor would be making a home visit today between 9am-12pm (still time but I’m doubting anyone will show up) No one has turned up yet 🙃 and since receiving the letter I haven’t received any texts or calls to confirm it etc. has this…

My little boy is 5 weeks old and has projectile vomited twice in the last 2 days both times about half hour after a feed and he’s been sat up both times. He’s also been bringing a little milk up after most feeds. I kept him upright for half hour after a feed and he’s totally happy in himself anyone else experiencing...

Worried because everyone is telling me I'm cruel getting them done so close to christmas😂 but I imagine she'd be fine by then

For last week and a half/2 weeks baby has been a bit constipated. I didn’t notice the first few days as poo was balls and he’s done that before and then gone back to normal. He is still getting to the toilet so he’s not completely constipated but he’s straining and only small balls come out at a time. I’ve tried fru...

How do you keep the water out of your little one’s eyes and face when washing their hair? Appreciate any tips 🥰

Has anyone dealt with baby having a lip tie and affecting breastfeeding? The lactation specialist noticed it in my little guy this afternoon, and we see the pediatrician tomorrow. I feel so horrible that I didn't notice his problem nursing until now and it's affected his weight.

Bit of a strange one but my 4 week old really seems in distress at night time, she brings her legs into her belly, strains, screams, her face goes bright red and her whole body goes tense. This only seems to be at nighttime, she will still bring her legs into her stomach in the day time and move about but ahead does...

My daughter has her 8 week jabs on Christmas Eve and I’m so scared. Christmas is quite difficult for me and her dad for our own reasons, and I was really hoping this year being our first as a family could mean something to really enjoy and look forward to. But I’m seeing nothing but horror stories of babies first ja...

Am I missing something? I keep seeing posts mentioning their health visitor? I haven’t seen one since maybe his weigh in before 8 weeks? Are we meant to have one constantly????

When your husband picks child from nursery twice with a poo nappy… shall I address this with the nursery or wait until it happens again?

Baby boy is 5 months old & he is still in so much pain and unsettled constantly after feeds. On neocate hydrolysed milk from peads but I just don’t know whether he has a milk allergy or whether is was colic/reflux.. thinking of asking for different brand of hydrolysed milk or going onto goats milk.. any advice appre...

My toddler has been suffering with constipation for the past 3 months and she gets constipated at least once a week. One week she did not poo for 5 days and she now has scars on her anus from all the straining she does when she gets constipated. I give her prune puree regularly and sometimes lactulose but both are a...

Has anyone had theirs done already, what should I expect?

Hi, my little boy will be 9 weeks old on Thursday and we still haven't had our appointment through for his 8 week jabs! I've chased it up a few times and been told I should get a letter this week... Has anyone else had theirs late? I'm starting to get worried. I'll ring them again tomorrow but just wanted other opi...

Can anyone recommend what can help with back pain and some things that help with stop feeling so rough and get energy up thhanks

My boy 7 weeks today. I obvs keep him upright for the most part after feeding but if I try to change his bum or put him on his back he literally screams bloody murder. Could this be a sign of reflux? We burp almost every oz he takes, feed upright and pace it. Just seems like he’s in such pain 😩

My little girl had her jabs today and this evening she is so upset and inconsolable when awake, won’t even take boob which is so unlike her! She almost never cries usually, normally more of a whine but this is a hysterical cry so awful to witness 😢 was anybody else’s little one the same? I’m keeping on top of the…

Last Tuesday my son started to have diarrhoea. Approx 6/7 dirty nappies per day. Stools were more ‘mucassy’ than normal. From the weekend they have returned to normal but he’s still doing a lot of dirty nappies per day, usually when he’s having milk. Throughout he’s been happy and not had a temperature. Has anyone e...

Has anyone’s little one been diagnosed with a tongue tie and have you had it snipped? My baby was diagnosed at birth but the hospital wouldn’t do anything about it so thinking about going private.

Struggling to find a good and affordable soft play for my little one who’s 19 months old. Any recommendations? Thank you x
