My son is currently 7 weeks old. His next appointment he will need the first shots they get and I wanted to hear some opinions about vaccines! My other kids are all vaxxed I started reading into some and I’m worried about the things in them and things that happened to some babies from them. He will need the Hep B, r...

is this normal for a 6 month old to breathe like?

Is 17 months too old for a play pen?

My 5month old is constipated, I breast fed for three months now he’s on aptimil with colief drops due to colic (which I’m weaning him off) Gp gave me lactulose which I’m given but it’s not working 🤯 any one had similar experiences or can help xxx

My 7 month old has outgrown his Shnuggle bath tub. What would be the next step up? My LB is on the chunkier side so not sure those bath seats would be comfortable for him? Thank you x

My 15 weeks baby did green poop today for the 1st time. He had his 2nd vaccination few days ago. Any suggestion why might be having this please?

I dunno if I should trigger warning this cuz it's gross of course. But my youngest, fattest cat binge and purges at least once a day. Just eats so much he immediately hurls. And since it's just slightly warm, undigested food... I let the dogs eat it cuz whatever. Less for me to clean up. My husband is absolutely dis...

My 6 month old has been fussy hating her bath for like a month now I can tried everything. Toys, cooler water, warmer water, different bathtubs, bubbles, no bubbles. This kid just hates baths when she absolutely use to love them. Anyone else? I’ve even tried earlier in the day when she’s more awake.

At what point are you allowing visitors outside of immediate family to meet your baby? I wanted to wait until first round of vaccines at two months but my husband wants much sooner.

It is now day 4 that my 5 mth old boy has not pooped. He is exclusively breastfed and we have not started solids yet. He typically goes every other day and poops a lot when he goes. I have tried a few things like bicycle, tummy massage, even reflexology. He is currently quite gassy but is not pooping! Has this h...

Wondering when we can have a bath after vaginal delivery - just a plain one (water no soaps).

Hi everyone im at wits end, my 7 week old is refusing to drink milk and that’s because of his extreme gas problems. We have tried tummy massages, walking around, leg exercises, infacol and gripe water they were all helping so well up until now. Hes in constant pain. We even changed from cow and gate ro kendamil beca...

My 2 month old has drank 2oz and fallen asleep without burping , I am keeping him up right and I keep trying to burp him will he be okay if he doesn’t burp ?

My baby is 10 weeks old. The way I have always bathed him is as recommended for newborns - washed his hair over the bath whilst he’s wrapped in a towel. Then dried it and then put him in the bath. Do I still need to do this at this age?

How often is your little one having a bath? I’m bathing my little girl every two/three days unless she gets more dirty than usual but my older sister said I should be bathing her daily.

Do you use your carpet or padded mat? If padded mat where did you buy. If you can also drop some pics for inspo💕

Has anybody rang triage for increased tightenings and what was the outcome? 37 weeks today and this evening, the Braxton Hicks / tightenings are ruthlessss 🥲

Hello all. My LO has horrendous reflux- still trying to establish the cause and have been referred to gastro & also investigating allergies. He’s sick after ever single feed multiple times and is EBF. He can be sick 40 times a day! Not small possets either. He’s had tongue tie cut, had an oral assessment and seen an...

My baby is ebf and the feeds in the late afternoon and into the night he will pull off the boob and hysterical scream and cry, go back on and repeat. I do burp him but he rarely burps and is usually so settled after a feed! He doesn’t do it in the day? I’m so confused and fed up of it tbh 😥
