Do any mamas just use bath time for what it is? To get the baby/child clean. Or are we all allowing some level playtime/toys in the bath? Severely unpopular opinion: I can’t stand bath toys. I don’t mind bath time fun such as bubbles and splash play. Thanks in advance.

Sorry for what it may be a daft question, but what is the difference between vomit and spit up for babies with reflux?

Has anyone taken their baby to see a cranial osteopath? My little boys labour was 40 minutes from first contraction to him being born and he suffers with bad reflux and a very poor sleeper.

My little boy is now 6 months, I really need to start cracking on with weaning however I really dont feel hes fully settled on a milk. Hes been on puramino now for a few month and been doing great but the past couple of weeks hes been suffering again with his belly, lots of trapped wind and mucousy nappies, although...

My LG is 16 weeks and I constantly have her hands covered thinking I’m keeping them warm. She is forever sucking her hands and they are wet through all the time so I’ve been putting mittens over her sleepsuit mittens to prevent it soaking through to her hands as they are always absolutely FREEZING. Now I realise w...

Baby is 4.5 weeks old and EBF, had his tongue tie done last Monday but I still don’t think his latch is brilliant, he never opens his mouth wide like he should and during this mornings feed my breast felt quite deflated. What can I do to make sure my supply doesn’t reduce? He’s been having a lot of green tinged poo...

I was involved in a nasty car crash yesterday with my 3 year old. How do you get over the fear of getting back in the car again? Do I give it time or just get straight back in? The thought of driving makes me feel physically sick 🤢

Does anyone use an anti slip mat in the bath for their babies? My LO is 1 soon and I need to take her out of the bath seat but worried she will slip everywhere

At what age does the doctor stop asking for your baby to be naked? I was just thinking about teaching them about privacy and private areas, not letting others touch them and how I would explain or handle when it comes to care providers

Struggle to get burps out of baby whilst feeding but do get pumps, is that the same thing or should I always keep going until I get a burp?

Hi mums, I’m travelling right when baby’s 12 week vaccination is due so the vaccines will be delayed by 10 days. I’m super confused if it is safe for my baby to travel or not, or better to delay my travel plans until 12 week vaccinations have been given. I’m planning to travel to turkey btw.

Hi, my 5 week old is being formula fed on Kendamil whole milk and his poos have been absolutely horrendous. They smell super strong and are slightly loose and wondered if this was normal? I know all babies are different but the poos just seem extreme! I wondered if he had CMPA but he’s never sick or spits up his milk x

Does anyone have any advice on how I can help my 5 week old with constipation? Is there anything I can give etc to help? She’s crying out in pain kicking her hands and feet etc

I had my 37w midwife app today & I was looking at my notes after and she has put the following - VIT K/ new born screening discussed & questions answered. Firstly she didn’t discuss either of these with me, so I didn’t ask any questions to be answered so that’s annoying that she’s lied on the notes, but I also do...

Hey. My baby is 5 weeks, seems to be quite colicky (some days worse than others) and finds it difficult to poo. It’s really hard to burp her but she’s very gassy which just ends up trapped and sometimes results in reflux. Twice she’s brought back up some of her bottle. There’s a lot of cries in pain before a bowel m...

I’m due with baby #2 soon and so worried about how my daughter will feel. She’s still breastfed 3 times a day and is so emotionally attached to me. She’s very close to my husband too, and doesn’t have a relationship with any of our family as they live so far away. Her whole world is “mommy & daddy” and I want her to...
