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. She strains a lot and when she finally passes stool, it’s so big it hurts her and bleeds a little. I’m also afraid she can develop a hernia from all the stra...

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...

Hello, I split up with my son’s dad a while ago now, for various reasons but he was in a lot of debt and towards the end of us splitting was acting VERY strange. I had a gut feeling he was doing drugs - cocaine but no proof… (I’m not a drug taker but when we first met he ‘occasionally’ did it on the weekends but t...

Please help, I gave my 7 month old porridge for his 4th time, this time I added some blended blueberry and do feel that I added in too much cows milk, but it helped with the consistency as it was runny. I now feel that I may have used too much cows milk that had caused him to vomit very badly, I’m wondering if anyon...

Once I got home, I waited for an appointment and nothing came, only to ring up and find out he hadn't even been referred which made me very angry. Then was given an appointment a whole month later!
