Hello! For the past 12 days, my little one (5m) has had blood in his nappies. Sometimes in his poo, and sometimes just blood & no poo. We’ve taken him to the hospital 3 times now.

Any special tips or tricks to burp a sleeping baby? Little one is 8 weeks old tomorrow and has started to hold on to her gas during the night 🤦🏻‍♀️ I can spend up to a good half an hour trying to burp to no avail.

I've just got back from the GP who's suggested we try aptamil pepti 1 after finding some blood in my girls stool, amongst other things.

My little boy is 3 weeks old and he’s started spitting up milk after most feeds or about 1/2 hours later. He also gets hiccups quite a lot and refuses to burp during/ after a bottle. He cries on the nappy mat and now I’m wondering if this is because he’s on his back? He doesn’t seem to be crying in any pain but he i...
