Lip tie found late

My son is four and I’m just finding his lip tie. I had him checked for it THREE times in the hospital since I knew it’s pretty common in my family. We’ve been brushing his teeth every night I’m I’ve been noticing his front tooth is a bit misshaped? So I inspected more tonight to make sure he wasn’t getting a cavity...

No judgement and don’t judge others

If you ever showered with your kid what age did you stop? You know how sometimes you may be in a rush and throw your kid in there to either get them a shower too or just so they are content. What age is too old? I always said old enough to know the parts of the body.

We don’t see the pedi. Anyone else?

Baby #3 and I’ve realized how unnecessary it is as we don’t do 💉 and have perfectly healthy girls. Only go if they’re extremely ill. I don’t trust these drs!

Constant Bowel Movements

Has anybody else got a baby that just will not stop pooing since weaning? My daughter turned 6 months old a week ago and for the past 3 days, she’s done 5 poos a day (15 poos in 3 days).

Choking event

Please don't judge me on this. I'm a nervous wreck as it is. My lg had a packet of crisps (veggie sticks for 9 months onwards ) which I stayed in the room while she ate them. I thought she had finished as she gave me an empty packet, I didn't see that one had dropped into highchair. So I went upstairs to grab a b...

Just wondering how many times a HV visited your baby in the last 9-10 months? I haven't been contacted by one since my girl was 1 month old, haven't heard anything from them about a review when she turns 1 either 🤷🏼‍♀️
