Hello, I just wondered what other people’s experiences were with the 2 year check up in the Sutton borough. My daughter turns 2 on Monday, but I haven’t had a letter for her 2 year check up appointment. For her 12 months appointment, I received the letter well before she turned 1. Is it usually after they turn 2 th...

Has anyone’s LO had grommets before? My LB is waiting for surgery to have them put in

Please help. I’ve put them off my little boy is now 14 months. I’m sooooo nervous for them. Any tips such as numbing cream etc would be greatly appreciated 😭🥲

Hi all, how much Calpol did you give your baby following their vaccinations? Bottle says only 2 doses but midwife said 3 doses, 4 hours apart

Did anyone LO leg go like this after their jabs? ( were 3 days after jabs ) The 3 other areas fine, just this red rash round one. **photo isn't very good, the red marks are alot more red by eye sight

Hi ladies! So my LB is coming up to 9 months and every time he has solid food it literally comes straight back out the way it went in! Fully formed etc. He’ll eat and then instantly poop, it only happens with food and not breastmilk. Has anyone else experienced this? It’s making me so anxious. The doctor sent off a ...

Does your 1.5 wk old babies poo every day a fair amount? My LO has done maybe 3 big poos since born an these past few days just maybe a tablespoon worth of poo and that too done throughout the day, not just one time. Are they also sleeping most of the day still? I thought they'd be having atleast 1 hr awake during ...

My boy turned 2 months on Tuesday and the last few days has been chewing his fists a lot. I am 99% certain he’s not hungry as he’ll do this at different times, inc straight after a feed! He did have his jabs on Tuesday so not sure if related?

this morning i went to change my babies nappy and i got a whiff of a unpleasant fishy like smell. There’s no rash or any signs of anything else and she’s never had anything like this before. She is weaning and does smelly poos but there was no poo whatsoever in there so i’m just a bit worried. Anyone had anything li...

Does anyone else’s little one refuse to burp during night feeding? I try for every which way and she’s like ‘nope’ 😅 She doesn’t seem uncomfortable but on the other hand I’m like there’s got to be something in there, especially because sometimes her tummy is a bit hard.

How do you know if a newborn is having diarrhea? We’re struggling to make that determination.

My son has been having frequent bowel movements ever since we returned from a trip to Brazil. I’m not sure if it’s just a coincidence or if he may have picked up a stomach bug while we were there. He averages about 3–4 bowel movements a day, which isn’t too alarming, but it’s definitely not his norm. He’s also teet...

To all wanting to know I did some research and there are traces of mercury in the Tdap and Flu vaccines. Which was supposed to be erased in 2001 along with multi dose vials. If you or your children are given any type of “multi dose vial” vaccines it could cause harm to you or your children as it is known to cause n...

Based on a poll I just saw. My kids take baths at night before bed but I noticed many moms saying how they couldn’t imagine sending their kids to school without a shower in the morning….for us there would be no way! I’d have to wake them up at 5:30am to make it possible…..

My 18 month old has had diarrhoea for 5 days now. Literally anything she eats comes straight out. Went to the doctor and he just said plenty of fluids but I’m really beginning to worry now as she’s even losing weight. I’d say roughly 5-6 times a day explosive diarrhoea. Does anyone know what it could be and if there...

Hi ! So I took my baby in for a fever to his pediatrician and they asked if I wanted to do his 24 month check up and I said sure and they mentioned that he'll have to get blood work done for lead testing and something else. N I forgot to mention I still breastfeed my son so I'm worried he'll come out dirty for week ...

What kind of toys you use for your 4-5 months babies? Do you use any jumpers or similar yet? Please share with me, I feel like my baby is getting bored 😂

I got a wrap to eat from tropical smoothie and did not notice that the lettuce in there was brown pretty dark. Now that looks spoiled if it’s brown. I had eaten already a few bites. Now I’m scared that I can get food poisoning and also hurt my baby from bacteria or something. What can happen ?! Ugh I don’t want to b...

Has anyone not gave their baby their jabs?

The carpets have muddy prints and baby is covered in food and mud when i pick him up
