Anyone else have a really fussy baby? She'll be 6 weeks old on Sunday. I feel like she's always crying except when she's eating or sleeping. This is the only way she likes to be held between feeds. She hates tummy time even on my chest. Hates being burped. I know her tummy is upset 😣 she is breastfed.

How did your child cope with having them done? My son has his on Monday.

My mom looked after my nephew yesterday and today we have discovered he has got chicken pox, is it safe for her to be around my little boy who is 5 weeks? Could she be carrying it? She has already had it but want to be safe not sorry!

My little girl is 3 weeks today, she’s been suffering with stomach pain/struggling to poop (is still pooping) but straining a lot and kicking her legs and crying especially when being put down I know it’s their time of learning how to use the muscles to poop but it’s so hard watching her be in pain, I try to massag...

Super worried!!! My daughter is riddled with chicken pox , and I’m 27 weeks pregnant 😭is this very dangerous

My 4 week old girl always seems like she’s struggling with gas or constipation (even though her poo is soft) She grunts and thrusts and goes bright red in the face, lifting her legs up etc is this normal or could something be wrong?

Maybe I’m misunderstanding the response, but I think 3.5 is way too young to shower alone. Please add comments if your thoughts are not captured by the choices.

is anyone else so bloated to the point where you can’t even eat a whole meal? i can only eat 3-4 spoonfuls and then i’d feel too full to finish the rest of my food and as a full time working mother of a toddler, it’s hard to find time to eat small meals in between from being busy with work all day to taking care of ...

For my 7 month old. Limited space so it must be small. She's a very active child. her PT said to get a mat that sticks to the floor. Needing recommendations, this will my first time buying one.

18 month old is unhappy 90% of the time and has been like this since he was newborn. Have tried reflux meds, query cmpa but nothing made much difference. At my wits end as have no idea why he is so unsettled 😫

My little one just drained a 4oz bottle and then just had another 2oz, could we be mistaking tummy ache/wind for hunger?

Hi all! My baby has recently had a change in bowel habits. She is only pooping like every other day or every two days. I read this is normal. The issue is now she seems like she is really gassy and it causes her pain. Her farts smell terrible! Do you think it could be something I’m eating?? Poop looks to be normal ...

My little boy had his first set of jabs at half 11 this morning, is it normal for them to sleep loads after , he’s only woken up for bottles then fallen straight back to sleep

My daughter screams the whole bath for the past few months now when she was younger she enjoyed baths but for the past 4 months or so it’s been hell😭😭 even during the getting her ready for bed and moisturizing part im fighting her🙂

This is the second time my baby girl has gone a week without having a poo. She pooed for a few days when she was born then went a week with no poos but would have wet nappies and didn’t seem in any discomfort then she did poos for 5 days and then hasn’t for a 7-8 days again. Anyone else’s breastfed baby been like t...

Who do I speak to about it. I have noticed she feeds so different to my first born but I just put it down to her being premature(born at 35 weeks). It takes her so long to latch and she only latches for a short time.

Has anyone used a tens machine previously in labour? Did it help at all? My friend has offered that I can borrow hers but I have no idea if it will help or actually do anything? I’ve never used one before

From the beginning I’m bathing/showering with my baby. Now he is 3 and I still do. When I put on my underwear to bath with him recently, he said “take it off mama. Why you’re with them”. He doesn’t act surprised or acting weird to see my bottom parts. For him this is all normal. So that’s why when we went to meet hi...

I have a 6 month. We started weaning 2 weeks ago. Mostly purée but some finger food of fruit like a strawberry or banana. I have been giving this once a day. Some days she has nothing other days she's eaten everything. I have noticed her poo is much more thicker like a paste as before she's was a EBF baby so it was...

My little girl was sat on the potty for nearly 3 hours last night trying to go. She was in a lot of pain and eventually gave up then sat there with her stool poking out and falling asleep. We put her in the bath and all was resolved. Any tips on how I can stop things like this from happening in the future? I know ...
