Constipation Relief

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! Baby getting out of Angelcare Bath Support

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 ...

10 Week old pooing all the time

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 😩

Constipation

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.. :(

Baby throwing up clear liquid with milk spots

Hey! Just need a little bit of advice. My almost 4 mo baby is throwing up water with little milk specs in it, it smells almost like a sour milk/sick smell but it’s coming out like a water fountain?? It happens randomly and not just straight after a feed. I wouldn’t say it’s always consistent, it’s just happens now ...

My little boy is randomly sick an hour or so after feeds & it’s just water. He has suffered with reflux since birth. Started the weaning process & he’s taking well to food, just concerned that he’s randomly bringing up watery substance. Any suggestions of what this could be? Thanks x

Thinking of not vaccinating my baby.

I’m scared to vaccinate my baby tbh! She had her first set of vaccines and is due for her next round but I’m scared. I’ve heard about babies getting seizures from the fevers and regressing after getting them. Can someone comment their experience? Thank you
