Try different burping techniques or get infacol. It helped us lots. X

Infacol helps us a lot, it takes a lot to get farts out of him which affects him more than burping. I lay him on my legs and rotate his hips, stretch his legs out then bend them in and push them to his stomach etc, just move him about in different ways and that’ll help get farts out. With burping definitely infacol, you give it before each feed and then the burps come up a lot easier, I hope this helps x

Second infacol. Works wonders for us

Do you wash your hands after changing a nappy?

I've been to quite a few baby groups where I've noticed a lot of her mums don't wash their hands after they change their baby. they just change them in the room and then carry on with the class. Personally, I find it gross and the same as going to the toilet without washing your hands. I wondered whatever everyone else thought.

Left over nappies

What do people do with leftover nappies when their babies go up a size, I have lots of size 1,2 and 3 from when my baby sizes up and im not sure what to do with them , binning seems wrong , charity and food and living banks only take them when it’s a sealed brand new pack , what do you do with your leftovers

Lump in breast when breastfeeding

I have found a lump in my breast that is sore to touch and hard. It feels kind of moveable. Has anyone had this while breastfeeding? It’s not mastitis as I’ve had that a few times

Is it blood

My 6months baby spitted out curdled milk and it had red fibre like thing in it. Is it blood? Has anyone seen it before with their baby. He had avocados in the morning and this spit up was at night

Head bump

My 10 week old had a head bump yesterday 2pm we went hospital cos she was sick twice at 6pm. They said she seems completely fine and not concerned. When we got home she went straight to sleep and slept continuously from 10pm-8am… 10 hours with no wakes she has never done that we usually wake 3/4 times a night. I woke her up at 8am just to see how she reacted to lights n stuff and to try feed her but she’s not interested in feeding. (EBF)
Is this usual? I’m a bit concerned? But drs said she was fine so idk
