I thought comfort milk was supposed to help with constipation? When I informed my GP I’ve switched my baby to SMA comfort she said no wonder your baby is constipated the formula is a lot more thicker so it would make her constipated.

My little girl is 6 weeks old and has silent reflux and colic and I am just not coping at all! I also have a near 2 year old to look after!

I'm currently doing pelvic floor PT after having 2 kids in 3 years and come to find out apparently I have a problem relaxing up there and am somehow too tight 😅 my physical therapist says on top of my exercises, I need to do stretches down there and suggested dilators.

My baby has had diarrhoea for 2 weeks now I called the gp did a poo sample and they said it can last a couple of week to get out of her system. There’s no signs of dehydration but just loose stools about 4-5. Not sure what else to do.

Has anybody had the Harmony - NPTI test done? If yes, please can you recommend providers. Just had my 12 weeks scan. It was a bit disappointing as they could not get a good scan due to the baby position. That means they could not do my blood tests either for screening. I was thinking of going private for peace of ...

Hi everyone, My daughter is 4 months and is nearly outgrown her current baby bath and her mini angel care bath seat! The problem is, we only have a wet floor shower at the moment so it needs to be something that is quite big that will last just up to a year until we’re allowed to get a bath installed! I’m quit...

Hi girls , went to the doctors with my baby because his neck is so stiff on right hand side and has been this way since birth. We try everything to get him turning to his right but he really struggles. The doctor said it’s wry neck / torticollus from my delivery because forceps were used and has referred him for phy...

Does calming rub cream help?

So my 21 month old needs his hair cut and this will be his 4th time as he has very thick and long hair but he had a major meltdown last time and he is hysterical and I’m dreading it.

Is it normal that my 4 month old only poops 2-4 times a day?? He was just pooping like 7 times a day then all the sudden it slowed wayyy down

My daughter eats very very well, all day every day. She eats her 3 meals and multiple snacks during the day. Still drinks her milk too- about 24 oz per day. She’s been drinking whole milk since a little before turning 1. My question is, is it normal for toddlers to poop so much?! This girl poops like 4 times a day....

Hey Moms, FTM here… So my son is now on the Similac Gentle (🧡) for a few weeks and we have switched different formulas twice already. But I’ve noticed he doesn’t poop as much as he used to. The stress of breastfeeding got to my supply but when I would BF him he would poop regularly. Now since switching to formula…

Major tmi..Ive been having constant tummy aches and diarrhea for the past (nearing) 2 hours, My asshole is raw. The guts are bubbling. I’ve groaned in pain twice already.

My 2.5 months old baby stopped pooping since yesterday he only pees. Is it normal?

My baby has had blood in his poo and the doctor thinks it could be an egg allergy. I’ve eliminated it from my diet but two weeks later he still has blood in his poo. It looked like it was getting better but now now there’s more again. How long did it take your baby to show no symptoms? Does anyone have experience wi...

She recently has became more distressed after feeds, will cry for hours afterwards, only want to be upright (so this is disturbing sleep) and suckle at anything furiously (not a dummy).

Hey! My little one hates bath time! Absolutely detests it! Just tried and she’s gone into hysterics, thrown up and wee’d on me 🤪 everytime she goes bright red from crying, her cry is hysterical, I’ve tried toys in the bath, I’ve tried leaving the cradle cap treatment to last… no matter what I do it seems to be a…
