Hi guys, my baby is having his first vaccinations tomorrow. Should I give him calpol once BEFORE the vaccines or just wait until after? Anyone got any other advice to keep him comfortable during or after? I’m going to ask if I can breastfeed during.

What is your 1 year olds favourite toy?

Hello, first time mum and just experienced my 3 week old first projectile vomit. It seemed like the entire contents of the feed she just had. Temperature is 36.7 so fine. She seems ok in herself. Just wondering why she’d just randomly throw up??

Hi everyone, my baby was diagnosed with torticollis when he was 6 months old, and we’ve been regularly attending physiotherapy sessions through the NHS. We’ve also been doing the recommended stretching exercises 2-3 times a day. However, he’s now almost 10 months, and we haven’t noticed any significant improvement—h...

I dared to laugh and I peed myself

What do you give your child for constipation? My daughter has not popped in 3 days? Also, how often does child poop? She use to poop daily and I think it is changing

Hello! Did anyone have a baby with a tongue tie or lip tie? If yes, did you get a frenectomy or do you plan on getting one?

Toddler doesn’t eat much but will eat breakfast/snacks and maybe half a dinner a day. However she’s still passing hard/dark pebbly stools, I’ve swapped her milk to lactose free and that hasn’t helped, she drinks a lot of water and she’s active I’m not sure what else it could be😭

My fiancé’s sister had a baby on Thursday. It’s now Monday. She had a c-section. We aren’t particularly ’close’ to her but will be visiting once she feels up to it. I’ve just had a conversation with my partner where I asked if he had spoken to his sister, as he was thinking of visiting tonight. He is planning on che...

Hey ladies, I just received my first speeding ticket in Corpus Christi yesterday afternoon (10/20/2024) for going 18 mph over. I’m legit a little freaked out cause I don’t want this to impact my insurance but also because I’ve never been through this process before. 🥲 Any tips would be much appreciated.

We’re about a month into weaning and omg the past few days she’s pooping 6+ times a day, i literally changed 3 poopy nappies within the last hour alone 🙃 I’ve started to wonder if it’s normal as before she pooped once a day, sometimes even skipped a day but since Thursday it’s non stop. I don’t think it’s…

We started weaning last week and lb has gone from pooping max twice a day to now like every 45 minutes they’re not massive just little little ones but is this normal 🫣

My 16 month old does about 3-5 poos a day. Does anyone else experience this or do you think I should speak to the doctor? The texture can range from solid to mushy (?😂) But not diarrhoea. Only asking because her nursery always comment about how often she goes.

I think my baby ate a mouldy biscuit 😭 I went into her room and she had thrown her whole play basket into the floor and there must have been a biscuit at the bottom and I found it on the floor kind of half eaten and I’m super worried she ate it 😭 she was only left alone for 2 mins so I could have a wee and now I…

Anyone’s little one struggling with their tummy? Our daughter is so gassy and today keeps screaming.

My toddler has been pooing 4+ times a day for about a week now. It’s absolutely exhausting!! She normally does 1-2 per day max. Nothing has changed with her diet, she is well within herself so don’t think it’s a stomach bug. Any ideas?

Has anyone had issues with their gallbladder since giving birth?

I am breastfeeding. Shes had plenty wet nappies and feeding as normal. I have come on my period (randomly) at 8 weeks postpartum and wondering if this could be a contributing reason?

Hi ladies, little one has just had his 12 week jabs 😭 have you guys only given calpol if a fever presents? I’m concerned that his legs will be sore so don’t know if it is okay to give him some to help with that & help him sleep off the worst of it x
