My wee girl had her 1 year jags yesterday afternoon and one of her legs has gone quite red round the injection. It’s also hot to touch and her thigh is hard. Is this a normal reaction?

My son was circumcised today dose anyone have any tips to help keep the area clean and to reduce pain. We have all girls in my family so no one really knows what to do. How long will it take to heal? If the bandage gets dirty or wet do i change it or just let it be

My baby has his first jabs tomorrow (he’s 10 weeks old). I feel so so guilty that he has no idea what’s coming and I’m scared he’s going to feel really poorly😢 can anyone give advice on how to prepare for them and what to do afterwards to make sure he feels okay?

My baby is so unsettled after feeds and crying constantly and arching her back etc, I’ve got infacol but can’t seem to get her to take it? It says to give the whole syringe but how am I meant to do that? I’m so desperate for her to stop crying it’s stressing me out so much😭

Hi, Little one has been put on nutramigen recently to see if she has CMPA. She’s had reflux before (one of the symptoms), but since being on this formula.. it’s like something else!! 🫣🫣 so much seems to be coming out, it’s not vomit, but still worrying.

At my wits end!! My boy is constipated but refuses all kinds of fruit! I’ve cut it, pureed it - mixed it with other things - he still won’t eat it. What else can I do He’s 16 months old

My two year old has always had stomach problems (bloating and diarrhoea) we identified cows milk as a trigger and while it’s better than it was he still has multiple episodes of diarrhoea a day. Our GP has referred him for a blood test and I’ve just collected the form. Everything that is on there makes sense for h...

Is this just a new discovery or does it indicate something? Ftm

Does anyone know how late we can have this done? How many weeks were you when you got it? I'm 32+4 but haven't had the vaccine yet as I've been really unwell recently and on antibiotics so my GP surgery wouldn't book me in. I'm feeling better now but wondering if I've missed the boat on this...

My 2 month old has had very loose stools for over 2 weeks now. Sometimes they will be really wet, sometimes there will be lumps of mucus in them. I have taken my baby to the GP on two occasions and they have had no concerns.. she's feeding well and she doesn't have a temperature. But surely, this is not right? My b...
