Hi all, Just wondering what everyone’s thoughts and feeling are to the rsv vaccine? I know it’s new in the uk and I don’t know what to do! My little boy is due in January and every health professional I see is telling me to get it but I’m worried as it’s new.

Has anyone decided against the jabs? I was so undecided and after a meeting with a homeopath I’m leaning towards not vaccinating. I don’t know whether to vaccinate at a later age or leave but it’s such a big decision! My parents think I am crazy to not vaccinate and their influence is important to me - can anyone he...

How many times within 24 hours does your baby go to the loo? And at what times of the day? In up right now because of a night poo. It keeps happening. Yesterday was a 5 am poonami. Baby goes 4-5 times a day. 2 massive nappy changes before 8 am then usually another nice big one around 4/5 pm. The rest are smaller s...

My 3wk old bubba doesn’t poop everyday. She’s going on day 2 of no poops and when this happens, out of nowhere she’ll poop like 4 times in a row. I don’t think it’s my diet that’s got her backed up because I eat organic whole foods and hydrate regularly. So is it normal for newborns to poop irregularly?

Hi guys needing some help, my HV gave us a number a few weeks ago to book vaccines for baby, I didn’t get through at the time and then completely forgot, baby is now 8 weeks and can’t find the number I was given, anyone able to tell me who to phone for baby to get vaccines! The days have all rolled into one😫

My baby had her 8 week jabs on Monday, she was fine up until today and is really clingy and seems like she is in some discomfort and cold like symptoms. I was giving her calpol on the Monday and she seemed ok. She has no temperature, do you think I can give some calpol to ease with the symptoms she has or is this on...

I have a dodgy heart, so I always get the Covid jab and flu jab every year. I’ve been invited for it this year but I’ve declined it at the moment just because I’m only seven weeks and six days pregnant. Just wondering if anyone else has had the jabs early in pregnancy? And if so, how did it go? Thanks

My son only has this on his legs. He is 20 months old. He doesn’t really have dairy. He eats a lot of bananas. Last week we tried tofu with him for the first time. He’s well in himself and producing nappies etc. I bath him everyday and I change the bedsheets every week. I moisturise him with coconut oil. (Y...

So my little ones just thrown up his milk bit it has come with some snotty looking stuff and a little blood in it. What does it mean?

Hey mama’s👋 , when does colic on newborns end? Thank you🫶

I’m BF and sometimes baby can be fussy at the breast, HV said he didn’t have one but I’m second guessing. Could it be a lip tie?

Do babies get weighed at their 16 week jabs?

Anyone else’s lo on nutramigen and have really explosive nappy’s? Like watery, I wake up to this every morning and it’s really watery that it’s going straight up his back. He’s only 8 weeks so just wanted to know is these poos normal?

We have been on neocate for a few months now and lbs bowel movements seem to be getting worse it will seem like he’s done a massive amount and then there will literally be a tiny hard amount and it’s stuck and he’s struggling to pass. We used to do the p fruits and ready brek etc no bananas etc not making any differ...

My LO for the first 11m pooped 2-3 times a week since 11m he’s been pooping 2-4 times a DAY I’m concerned if this is normal. They are a normal consistency, but like SO FULL OF SHIT this kid. Oh my goodness.

I bought my daughter a play pen when she was around 6 months old, but I can only recall a handful of times where I actually used it, lol. Now it sits in the corner with miscellaneous stuff in it

Currently sitting here in tears. Baby’s silent reflux is getting worse and she’s waking up swallowing and distressed hours later. I don’t know what to do, I feel so lost and sad to see her uncomfortable

Has anybody asked the nurse to only administer 2 vsccines and book another day for other 2? 4 needles just seems like torture😫 My little boy has them tomorrow

Anyone got any experience with craniosynostosis (fusing of the sutures on the skull “plates” early)

Hi! I have the HV coming tomorrow, to my home to give me the red book and introduce themselves. I’m 36w and this is my second baby, first is 18 months. I never had this before- it seems a bit odd. Anyone know why they are coming? No safeguarding issues or anything social- just seems random and pointless 🤣
