How do you bathe your infant when you’re abroad / on holiday and staying at a hotel?

My boy is 12 weeks old tomorrow and he’s on special CMPA formula. He was eating every 2-3 hours (with the exception of overnight where he goes 5-7 hours) but now it seems to have stretched to 3-4 hours. Wondering if that’s normal and wanted to see what other August mamas are going :)

My 13 month old girl really struggles to poop :( to me it seems like she’s scared to poop. She will clench and become stiff as a board. It’s so sad to watch. She will get a poop out every 2-3 days and when she does she screams and cries. I’ve tried the Mommy’s Bliss constipation ease. It helps sometimes. We do juice...

So ive started my girl on purees, i am giving her a variety, shes also EBF. However, since weaning she wont poop, when she does she is crying in pain.

Hi everyone! My 10mo boy has very long hair but just at the top and we are looking to get it trimmed a bit, not shaved. Does anyone know a hairdresser or barber who is specialised in babies? Thanks all!!

Stool softener suggestions for after pregnancy?

I have a health Visitor coming around tomorrow and I’m wondering if anyone has experienced a bad visit from one? I’ve been told there can be ones that aren’t that nice.

My LO (13 weeks old) had his TT division on Friday, he seemed ok over the weekend after it but last night he was very very unsettled and wouldn’t sleep in his next to me for longer than 30 mins which is very unlike him, usually he can go 1-2 hours at least after feeds. I’ve read online that potentially days 3-5 par...

So I’m trying to avoid diary to see if baby has an allergy. Today I accidentally ate something with milk powder in it. Does that mean I need to restart from the beginning and all of my efforts for the past week are down the drain?

Hey, has anyone found any good toys recently that their little ones like? I’ve become a full-time baby entertainer lately and I am TIRED 🤣

Hey, I have a 1 month old who seems to be waking every hour to hour an a half for food however he’s only taking 2-3oz and then will cry in pain for about 30mins after despite burping him! Does anyone know what could be wrong?

Hes just grunting all night and manages to poo a bit but is never settled. What can I do? We are already using infacol and hes EBF.

My LO seems to to be suffering from increasingly worse reflux. I feed him and wind him (not always successfully!) and lay him down and then an hour or two later he’ll start bringing it back. He coughs and makes choking sounds on it and brings bits of milk up all down himself. He’s combi fed breast milk with formula...

Has anyone gone to their 6 week postpartum appointment yet? What all do they do in that visit ?
