Baby after feed

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 😩

Jabs

Has anyone else been advised to push their little ones jabs on due to them being unwell? My daughter is 13 weeks and hasn't had any jabs yet due to her being unwell and moving doctors.

EBF normal poo or concerning? Help pls

My 3 month old is EBF and I’m getting conflicting information if his poo is normal or not. He only does green or greeny/yellow poos, and each poo he does has mucus in. I’ve attached photos. Not sure if it’s normal or if it means he is allergic to something I’m eating?

Blood in poo - WORRIED

My 6 and a half month old has had blood in her poo. She was a little constipated but the poo was not solid just alittle more firm than usual. When wiping her bottom and having a look there was blood or obvious tear. Any advice?

Hownold was your child when you felt comfortable showering while they were awake and alone

Obviously, this is a 1 child scenario, so if you have multiple, pick based on your youngest or when the oldest could take care of the youngest.

Does anyone else’s baby poo all the time?

My girl is 4 1/2 months she’s ebf, so I know it’s normal to go quite regularly or even only once a week. Which seems bizarre to me lol But she has been very regular the whole time, almost every nappy most days. I need to count how many times 😂
