My baby is 10 weeks old and feeding is so so stressful. He screams, cries, goes completely stiff and scratches himself during feeds. Have been to the GP: first time they said I was over feeding him! Second GP I took him to said it sounds like reflux and prescribed omeprozole. It hasn’t made any difference and is sti...

so my 10 week old is EBF - for the past few weeks she's been arching her back alot and bringing her hands up to her head after feeding, lots of grunting and just generally seeming uncomfortable. then for the past few days she keeps waking up from her sleep in floods of tears, like a different cry from her usual hung...

It's getting cold here and I need some good comfy supportive slip-on shoes! Have some sneakers, but I really want shoes I can kick on and off easily, especially for later in pregnancy. Also having a lot of back pain. I dislike Hokas for running, but I ended up getting a pair of their recovery slides on eBay after s...

My 3 months old baby boy is throwing up but sometimes when I feed him, but in the past he used to throw up the formula and now it looks clear like water maybe. I don’t give him water but I do mix of course his baby formula with baby water from the pharmacy. Is this normal?

when did you/will you give your newborn their first bath?

Hi! My boy is almost 7 weeks and since he was born he struggles to poop. He’s not constipated, he’ll go but he screams for an hour while trying to push it out before he does. And sometimes he doesn’t even end up going more than a tiny bit. I cut out dairy and caffeine from my diet to see if it would help and it hasn...

Hi, has anyone experienced constipation in their babies after leaving the infant formula? My 15 month old has been struggling and cries because she can’t poop.

My baby consistently goes like a week or more without pooping at all.. I hate it. Our pediatrician says it’s normal, which I understand since breastmilk has everything he needs and not much extra so there’s not much “waste” to get rid of. But I can tell my baby is uncomfy sometimes (not excessively). Any tips for he...

I had my baby girl on the 15th of September and had a third degree tear and stitches. How long did people wait before having a bath? I’ve been showering but yet to have a bath, I desperately want a self care evening and to soak in the bath but not sure if it’s too soon? Any advise is appreciated ♥️
