Please help, I gave my 7 month old porridge for his 4th time, this time I added some blended blueberry and do feel that I added in too much cows milk, but it helped with the consistency as it was runny. I now feel that I may have used too much cows milk that had caused him to vomit very badly, I’m wondering if anyon...

Weird question... Let's talk about stool consistency

What are your little ones nappies like? Is their poo quite soft in texture or is it like firm like an adult log? My little boy's poop is mostly quite soft. Not sure if it's normal or not

Do anyone's newborns have a tongue tie? Whilst in hospital the tongue tie was pointed out by every health care professional and I was told repeatedly that I would get a "very quick" appointment for my sons tongue tie.

Once I got home, I waited for an appointment and nothing came, only to ring up and find out he hadn't even been referred which made me very angry. Then was given an appointment a whole month later! I am mortified and no matter how much I ring up everyday and tell them how much it is effecting his feeding they just k...

He has this thinking that the more you shave the hair, the thicker it grows.

London is such a dump

London (in the uk not Canada) is actually so f-ing gross. Me, my husband, our toddler and our 6 month old went to London Aquarium last Saturday and it was so shite because the greedy bastards didn’t cap the numbers so it was too busy to walk through let alone see fish. Everywhere is dirty and smelly and people are j...

Toddler loose stools

So my babe has loose stools 99% of her poos and I'm wondering why that might be and if it's normal? Her diet is healthy and she only ever drinks water or milk, no sugary drinks or juices ever. On occasion she will have "normal" poo, like a small version of adults ones 😂 but 9 times out of 10 it's runny and…

Poo

Whats the rules on baby pooing?? My LO is just over 4 weeks and hasn't pooed in about 30 hours. For his first 3 weeks he was pooing 7/8 times a day but now we are barely getting 1. He's now exclusively breastfed. Google doesn't seem to help as it says can be 24-48 hours but also can be up to a week? We have tried wa...

Poo increase?

My nearly 6 month old has suddenly gone from pooing every few days to about 6/7 times a day! Not diarrhoea or doesn’t seem poorly in himself. Has this happened to anyone else?! Don’t know if it’s normal or not but I’m going through a lot more nappies that’s for sure 🤣
