Black streaks in baby poo ?? Anyone else experienced this ??

My 4mo is currently taking omeprazole for reflux (has been for two months) but can’t help but think some of his symptoms could actually be CMPA mostly due to his soiled nappies (regularly have green and mucusy nappies) and his trouble sleeping! He also gets small dry red patches on his legs, his face goes blotchy du...

A couple of times now my 13 day old little girl has had the odd explosion in her nappy (aiming it at me when I've come to change her) It's almost watery ... being a FTM i panic over every little symptom. My partner says she's a happy, healthy baby .... she feeds well... but these explosions do worry me. She's on for...

Hi everyone, my 9 week old is all of a sudden spitting up after every feed. He is EBF and has had a little bit of spit up here and there but it seems way more regular in the last couple of days. How can I help this? What's likely the cause? Thanks!!

Need to contact them

My bf is anti vax and I’m for it ,my first son has had all of his. If I get them vaccinated we will break up but if I don’t it’s against my moral code and dangerous for the them imo. We are the perfect couple and I feel like we’re genuinely made for each other but this one thing we can’t agree on!

Really struggling with what’s wrong with my baby! He’s 4 weeks old and really fussy during & after feeding! Doctors have prescribed him gaviscon but worried it’s going to make him constipated! Can’t work out if it’s reflux, milk allergy or lactose intolerance 🙈 anyone got any similar experiences?

How many vaccines did your baby get at their 1 year check up? And what kind were they? Did they also draw their blood? We have our appointment tomorrow, and I just want to be prepared.

Started weaning 5 days ago (baby is 6 months tomorrow), only doing veggies to start, and the last couple of days he’s been really straining trying to poo and struggling with tummy pain and pooing is a lot less frequent. He hates being on his back in the daytime (he pushes his bottom up/arches back), just wants to si...

So my 11 month old had some kind of goopy discharge. I pulled it back a tiny bit to see if it was from there. Pulled it back the slightest bit and I noticed it actually pulls back. It seemed There was no discomfort at all for him. I will not do it again I read it’s not supposed to until they are a good amount of yea...

35 weeks. And I’m really limited in my movement. I try to have a bath every evening to relax a bit and ease the pain in my back but I am now unable to actually stand up out of the bath without my partner helping me. Is this normal? Do you need help with getting out of the bath or bed? I feel so big and so much more ...

My 4 month old son has his jabs soon and hates calpol spits it out and cries what’s the best way to give him it ? I currently use a syringe

My 4 week old has brought up every single bottle today 😭 never been a sicky baby up until now, really unsure if this is the start of reflux or if he’s just having an icky day but my anxiety is through the roof😢 He’s screaming after each sick, arching his back, going bright red etc. But then 2 minutes later…

I’m almost certain my 12 week old has a tongue tie and that’s were all issues come from, reflux, choking, struggling to latch onto a bottle. I have mentioned to HV when baby was younger but nothing was said, is there anything that can be done?

Mamas, please recommend me what works for your little one who screams when then poop. I’m in tears every time my little guy poops because he cries so hard. I’ve tried prune juice, prune apple juice, apple juice, prune puree, pear puree, and nothing has worked so far 😭 he just turned 1 on April 11th!

Help please mamas! My 4 and a half week old is formula fed on C&G milk and is a nightmare to burp after wards! he grunts in his sleep and as the night goes on he starts to thrash his legs around and grunt even more and it sounds like he’s coughing. I think it is definitely trapped gas but how do I know if there is m...

When are you allowed to bath with a c section

I’m in need of some advice. My 3 month old baby had just discovered he can kick off the bottom of the bath tub and push himself out his bath support seat! I’ve seen he can’t have the seat until 6 months so I’m wondering if other people’s babies have done the same and how did you manage it? (He’s never unsupervised ...

My 10 week old Lb is literally pooing so little and often. I’m changing maybe 20+ dirty nappies a day. He’s not struggling to go and he’s not showing any signs of actually being unwell so that’s good but it’s got watery bits in that soak into the nappy. Has anyone else had this? It’s constant 😩

My baby is 2 months and 2 weeks old and hasn’t pooped for about 29 hours. We gave him apple juice (as directed by nurse) but still nothing. We bicycled his legs but also still nothing. Anyone have any tips or tricks? He is still passing gas but I can tell he’s frustrated and wants to poop.. :(
