Help

I have a three month old, it’s seems that everytime I sit down with him he cries. Once I get up and walk around with him he stops crying. How do I get him out of this habit? My back is killing me:(

Baby hit head on the floor whilst sitting down

Literally left her for 2 seconds to get the post. She’s been amazing sitting now so didn’t think the 2 seconds I was not behind her that I needed a cushion. I’ve got up to go to the door and hear a thud on the floor and she’s laying on her back. She cried but is ok now, making me really paranoid

My partner and I have noticed signs in our little boy for a few months now but this is our first baby so we aren’t sure if they are just ‘normal’ at this stage. Signs we’ve noticed: Toe walking. Our baby is only just l...

When does grunting baby syndrome end?

My 6 week old frequently grunts and squirms loudly through most of the night. It’s so hard to even sleep between feeds sometimes as she’s so loud. My partner suggested ear plugs but I’m so scared to not be in tune with her. Please any recommendations and people who’ve said when this passes? The sleep deprivation is ...

Inconsolable crying

Hello! My 15 wo son had one hour inconsolable crying last night. He looked very distressed, like in pain, his body rigid and Arching back. The only position he'd be relatively calm was upright walking around. We ended up giving him calpol and eventually he fell asleep on me and then we transferred him on bed with us...

Normal amount of clumsiness?

My boy is a pocket rocket, non stop, all the time. But in the last few days, probably because he’s wearing T-shirts and shorts, I’ve found it easier to see the full extent of his clumsiness- in 3 days he’s skinned both knees and an elbow (2 separate falls from running and falling over his own feet) and countless oth...
