Hi everyone, so my son (8 months) has always had problems with formula and milk. First 2 weeks I had to exclusively formula feed (aptamil) as I was having to be on strong pain relief and he was constipated. The doctors said this was normal so I went into breast feeding but he was wanting to feed every 30 minutes and...

Hi all So my son is coming up to 3 and his always had like bad poos, mucousy and never really solid. He also has a rash that sometimes can't be seen on his arms and legs then it flares.

I've tried a bath, baby massage, carrier, shushing, rocking, bum pats, back pats, skin to skin, white noise, pink noise, music, dark room, red light. Nothing works. Has anyone got any weird way they managed to soothe their colicky baby? We're currently going back and forth from the doctors to find the cause but in t...

She struggles to poo and during the days and notes she goes red in the face and makes grunting noises she seems to go about every 2-3 days for a poo but seems to be really troubled by not being able to go

Anyone else turned down the 2 year check app? After the 1 year check and the absolute grief she gave me for my boy still having milk to sleep & a dummy (said it was the reason he wasn’t talking, my sister is a dental nurse & it’s definitely not the reason) I was just in a state for months & honestly I just don’t wan...

Baby had a poo blowout on Tuesday and then Thursday and now it’s Sunday I’m still waiting for him to poo. Is this normal? He use to poo every hour or atleast every nappy change before this change. I have tried massages, warm baths, bicycle legs, infacol & gripe water (to help wind) etc. Not sure what I’m doing wro...

Omds at night time my little girl will fall asleep whilst feeding, blessing and a curse. Great because I don’t need to rock her to sleep after but she WILL 🤬 NOT 🤬 BURP 🤬 sorry for the rant just pulling my hair out x

My 2 month old just started having these screaming fits and it’s really hard to console her. I’m not sure what’s going on but I fear she’s in pain, gassy or has an upset stomach and I can’t figure it out. It doesn’t necessarily happen at the same time every day so I don’t think it’s colic. She is breastfed and also ...

i see so many post of women saying "i won't let my kids around other kids who aren't vaccinated"..... just wondering how that makes sense? if you get your kids vaccinated then they should be safe right? why don't u want them around kids who are unvaccinated? truly curious.

My baby has CMPA he’s nearly 7 months so we are in full weaning mode but has anyone else found their CMPA babies have other intolerances/allergies, every allergen we’ve tried so far has had a reaction, we’ve tried soya, wheat and egg. He’s also reacted to coconut so we are struggling with plant based dairy alternati...

Baby is able to sit on her own now, the angel care lie down seat just isn’t working for bath time anymore What is everyone else doing or do you have a different seat recommendation?

Any advice how to help breastfed baby with constipation?

My son has his tongue out constantly, I mean 95% of the time. I didn't give any importance before as I know it's normal for newborns/small babies when they discover his tongue and because of the extrusion reflex. However checking on Google (I know that's not the best thing to do 😅) it says that should disappear…

Hello, wondered if anyone can help? What’s the deal with hot tubs and pregnancy? I am 30 weeks pregnant and I’ve cleaned out my hot tub today after the winter. Haven’t filled it up yet because I’m not sure what the deal is with being able to use it whilst pregnant. I kind of get why it’s not recommended to use com...

He chugs so fast i have to pull the bottle away several times to burp and take a break, usually 3-4 times per bottle. Feed him extra if he asks, but if y...

Hi all, any suggestions for bath seats please for a 6 months old. She can’t sit unassisted yet. Thank you!

My 8 week old is honestly never happy, I’m feeling robbed of the good times as we are literally on a feed, burp, cry, feed, cry, feed, cry schedule 😭 I see so many babies who have lots of enjoyable wake windows and get to do sensory, tummy time and generally just wake up happy and my boy is just forever upset.…

For legs/area, what direction do you shave? For my legs I always just went up my leg with a razor and growing up always heard that for your pubic area to feel smoother or whatever to shave all directions, up, down, left and right so that's what I've been doing and it seems to work fine I guess. My arm hair doesn't r...
