Reflux

Can constipation be a symptom of reflux? Basically my little boy has struggled to poo since being home from hospital, and they’ve put us on prescribed milk for cmpa, I personally don’t think he has a milk allergy as he has no symptoms other then constipation.. he has more symptoms for reflux. I’ve also seen reviews ...

Baby tensing and pooping

My baby boy is 10 days old and cluster feeds. He has been tensing really bad and pooing a lot. I’m worried because he looks like he is in pain and goes red in the face.. not sure what to do? Am I feeding him too much?

Vomit while weaning

We started weaning tonight with broccoli, he hated it, wouldn’t really eat it and when he did he gagged hard and vomited it up twice. But barely had anything. He’s a week off 6 months corrected and had been showing signs of readiness. Is this normal? FTM

Umbilical cord - infection?

Is this ok, or is it infected? We changed her nappy last night and knocked it and the clamp fell off with the rest of the cord but this part stayed on.

Poop frequency increased.

My baby is 4 months and is breast fed. Recently she has been pooping more. She often poops while feeding several times a day. She used to do this as a new born but it had gone down to 1-2 times a day with the occasional day of none. Now she goes at least 3 times most days. Anyone else found this?

He does seem to have eczema but baths calm him down at night and we want to set a bedtime routine with him. Just wondering how often you give your b...
