My 9 week old has for the last week been in pain when pooing or trying to poo. She has a real pained look on her face and lets out a really high pitched cry. Sometimes it isn’t a poo just some wind, she only seems to be pooing every other day recently. Formula fed only

Not sure if someone can help me or give me advice. I have a 6 week old baby. The past two days when she has been feeding. She’s been very fussy and pushing the bottle away even when she is starving. It’s as if she’s trying to feed but unable to , due to a sore tummy it seems. When she gets put down flat or during an...

Hey! I’ve got my first health visitor appointment on the 15th, baby isn’t here yet, and I’m just wondering what to expect. I only moved in 2 weeks ago so I’m still sorting the flat out I.e painting, furniture etc and babies nursery is currently empty. Will it go against me if I haven’t got babies nursery sorted, he’...

My nearly 8 week old is exclusively breastfeed, he now hasn’t pooped since Monday (his poo was normal, yellowy slightly runny and seedy) and I’m worried his tummy is hurting! His tummy is soft, but he seems to really be straining to try and poo several times a day. The HV came yesterday and she said not to worry unl...

My son needs size 5 shoes but I am struggling on what to get him. Sometimes I can get the shoe on him but then the strap won’t go over. If anyone has any recommendations for a 1 year old with fat feet that would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi, my LO is 20 weeks and yesterday I gave him an Ella pouch of peach puree. He’s absolutely fine in himself but his poo today is dark green and smells FOUL. Is that normal when introducing purées or could he have an intolerance etc?

My ten month old really suffers from constipation. I try prunes, pears, water, lactulose! He’s been passing dark pebbles now for a week. I’m at a loss what more I can do to help. He’s now refusing food and teething 🙃 help a mumma out!

I need help from other moms if you gone through this or are going through this. My son what I think is going through now is chronic constipation, however the GP is not listening and instead I am getting lessons on how I am not feeding him right. He is fussy eater and has been since he was year and half or so and he’...

Hi moms! My baby turned 6 months two weeks ago. And in the past few days his poops have changed quite a bit. Frequency and texture. He is exclusively breastfeeding.

Hey, how are you keeping your baby occupied atm? I’m struggling a bit, heavily pregnant and not able to get out too much (we do get out; soft play yday for example), but home days are pretty boring. Anything you do with them?

Hi all, has anyone applied for this and could tell me when they received the text that a case manager is looking over your child’s case and the information we sent how long after you got a decision? Ty🤍

Does anyone else’s baby poop ALL the time? He’s 5 & a half months, exclusively breastfed, I know breast milk has natural laxatives but throughout the night last night he pooped 6 times, twice more this morning and it’s not even 8am. Throughout the day he’ll probably poop 7-8 times too on average! Is this normal?🤣

Okay so I was bathing my daughter per usual after a blowout and she laughed. Like a big ol’ belly laugh. Let’s back up a sec: for bathing, we use a sterilized peri-bottle for squirting her body with a water and shampoo/body wash mix. Tonight after washing with a washcloth, I squirted her body with it and it was ge...

Does anyone else baby get a little constipated at times && if so what do you do to help you little one?

How often does your 4 week old poop (formula fed babies only) My LO is formula fed and I don’t know if he gets constipated. He’ll poop once a day or some days not at all. Does anyone else’s baby not poop much?

Doctor says every 2-3 days . I’ve been doing every other day, and wipe downs in between but I’d like to do them daily . How often do you guys bathe your 7/8 month olds?

I know it’s waterproof, that’s not what I’m asking.
